Motivation for this change
This is a WIP PR for testing PostgreSQL with support for the LLVM-based JIT.
This is based almost entirely on @andir and @dasJ's work in #124804. My only real contribution here is to fix the build of
periods
andpostgis
when postgres is built with clang.I tested only
postgresql_14
(14.1) with extensionsperiods
andpostgis
on NixOS 21.11, and did not test other versions, macOS, or other extensions.I am unable to finish this PR right now, and I also didn't find the JIT very useful, as it caused a GIN
CREATE INDEX
on an expression to use 100GB of RAM and crash the PostgreSQL server. There are similar reports of the JIT causing issues on the web and on the People, Postgres, Data Discord.Things done
