Hi,

pg-cron on powerpc/ppc64/ppc64el is raising this warning inside the
ppc atomics:

Looking at the pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32_impl, this looks like a
genuine problem:

static inline bool
pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32_impl(volatile pg_atomic_uint32 *ptr,
                                    uint32 *expected, uint32 newval)
...
    if (__builtin_constant_p(*expected) &&
        *expected <= PG_INT16_MAX && *expected >= PG_INT16_MIN)

If *expected is an unsigned integer, comparing it to PG_INT16_MIN
which is a negative number doesn't make sense.

src/include/c.h:#define PG_INT16_MIN    (-0x7FFF-1)

Agreed.  I'll probably fix it like this:

The first attachment fixes the matter you've reported.  While confirming that,
I observed that gcc builds don't even use the 64-bit code in arch-ppc.h.
Oops.  The second attachment fixes that.  I plan not to back-patch either of
these.

I reviewed these, and tested the first one on a nearby Apple machine.
(I lack access to 64-bit PPC, so I can't actually test the second.)
They look fine, and I confirmed by examining asm output that even
the rather-old-now gcc version that Apple last shipped for PPC does
the right thing with the conditionals.

Hmm, I'd argue for a back-patch.  The issue of modern compilers
warning about the incorrect code will apply to all supported branches.
Moreover, even if we don't use these code paths today, who's to say
that someone won't back-patch a bug fix that requires them?  I do not
think it's unreasonable to expect these functions to work well in
all branches that have them.

Or remove them. (But fixing seems better.)

Thanks for reviewing and for mentioning that old-gcc behavior.  I had a
comment asserting that gcc 7.2.0 didn't deduce constancy from those
conditionals.  Checking again now, it was just $SUBJECT preventing constancy
deduction.  I made the patch remove that comment.

Okay, I've pushed with a back-patch.  compare_exchange-ppc-immediate-v1.patch
affects on code generation are limited to regress.o, so it's quite safe to
back-patch.  I just didn't think it was standard to back-patch for the purpose
of removing a -Wsign-compare warning.  (Every branch is noisy under
-Wsign-compare.)

atomics-ppc64-gcc-v1.patch does change code generation, in the manner
discussed in the big arch-ppc.h comment (starts with "This mimics gcc").
Still, I've accepted the modest risk.
