Originally, tuplestores of AFTER trigger's transition tables were
freed for each query depth. For our IVM implementation, we would like
to prolong life of the tuplestores because we have to preserve them
for a whole query assuming that some base tables might be changed
in some trigger functions.

* [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

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>

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.

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.

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.

* [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.
