For years, our makefiles have correctly observed that "there is no correct way to write a rule that generates two files". However, what we did is to provide empty rules that "generate" the secondary output files from the primary one, and that's not right either. Depending on the details of the creating process, the primary file might end up timestamped later than one or more secondary files, causing subsequent make runs to consider the secondary file(s) out of date. That's harmless in a plain build, since make will just re-execute the empty rule and nothing happens. But it's fatal in a VPATH build, since make will expect the secondary file to be rebuilt in the build directory. This would manifest as "file not found" failures during VPATH builds from tarballs, if we were ever unlucky enough to ship a tarball with apparently out-of-date secondary files. (It's not clear whether that has ever actually happened, but it definitely could.) To ensure that secondary output files have timestamps >= their primary's, change our makefile convention to be that we provide a "touch $@" action not an empty rule. Also, make sure that this rule actually gets invoked during a distprep run, else the hazard remains. It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. In HEAD, I skipped the changes in src/backend/catalog/Makefile, because those rules are due to get replaced soon in the bootstrap data format patch, and there seems no need to create a merge issue for that patch. If for some reason we fail to land that patch in v11, we'll need to back-fill the changes in that one makefile from v10. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18556.1521668179@sss.pgh.pa.us |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
