Fix ./configure checks with __cpuidex() and __cpuid()

michaelpq · michaelpq · commit d6ffc43f95b2 · 2025-07-30T11:55:51.000+09:00
The configure checks used two incorrect functions when checking the presence of some routines in an environment: - __get_cpuidex() for the check of __cpuidex(). - __get_cpuid() for the check of __cpuid(). This means that Postgres has never been able to detect the presence of these functions, impacting environments where these exist, like Windows. Simply fixing the function name does not work. For example, using configure with MinGW on Windows causes the checks to detect all four of __get_cpuid(), __get_cpuid_count(), __cpuidex() and __cpuid() to be available, causing a compilation failure as this messes up with the MinGW headers as we would include both <intrin.h> and <cpuid.h>. The Postgres code expects only one in { __get_cpuid() , __cpuid() } and one in { __get_cpuid_count() , __cpuidex() } to exist. This commit reshapes the configure checks to do exactly what meson is doing, which has been working well for us: check one, then the other, but never allow both to be detected in a given build. The logic is wrong since 3dc2d62 and 792752a where these checks have been introduced (the second case is most likely a copy-pasto coming from the first case), with meson documenting that the configure checks were broken. As far as I can see, they are not once applied consistently with what the code expects, but let's see if the buildfarm has different something to say. The comment in meson.build is adjusted as well, to reflect the new reality.
