* [PATCH v30 07/11] Add DISTINCT support for IVM

When IMMV is created with DISTINCT, multiplicity of tuples is
counted and stored in  "__ivm_count__" column, which is a hidden
column of IMMV.  The value in __ivm_count__ is updated when IMMV
is maintained incrementally. A tuple in IMMV can be removed if
and only if the count becomes zero.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 266+ messages in thread

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.
