rewrite. When called from SIInsertDataEntries, SICleanupQueue releases
the write lock if it has to issue a kill() to signal some laggard backend.
That still seems like a good idea --- but it's possible that by the time
we get the lock back, there are no longer enough free message slots to
satisfy SIInsertDataEntries' requirement. Must recheck, and repeat the
whole SICleanupQueue process if not. Noted while reading code.
need to deconstruct proargmodes for each pg_proc entry inspected by
FuncnameGetCandidates(). Fixes function lookup performance regression
caused by yesterday's variadic-functions patch.
In passing, make pg_proc.probin be NULL, rather than a dummy value '-',
in cases where it is not actually used for the particular type of function.
This should buy back some of the space cost of the extra column.
so long as all the trailing arguments are of the same (non-array) type.
The function receives them as a single array argument (which is why they
have to all be the same type).
It might be useful to extend this facility to aggregates, but this patch
doesn't do that.
This patch imposes a noticeable slowdown on function lookup --- a follow-on
patch will fix that by adding a redundant column to pg_proc.

macros patch :-(. Results from both baiji and mastodon imply that MSVC
fails to perceive offsetof(PageHeaderData, pd_linp[0]) as a constant
expression in some contexts where offsetof(PageHeaderData, pd_linp) works
fine. Sloth, thy name is Micro.
on the most common individual lexemes in place of the mostly-useless default
behavior of counting duplicate tsvectors. Future work: create selectivity
estimation functions that actually do something with these stats.
(Some other things we ought to look at doing: using the Lossy Counting
algorithm in compute_minimal_stats, and using the element-counting idea for
stats on regular arrays.)

thereby forestalling any problems with alignment of the data structure placed
there. Since SizeOfPageHeaderData is maxalign'd anyway in 8.3 and HEAD, this
does not actually change anything right now, but it is foreseeable that the
header size will change again someday. I had to fix a couple of places that
were assuming that the content offset is just SizeOfPageHeaderData rather than
MAXALIGN(SizeOfPageHeaderData). Per discussion of Zdenek's page-macros patch.
SizeOfPageHeaderData instead of sizeof(PageHeaderData) in places where that
makes the code clearer, and avoid casting between Page and PageHeader where
possible. Zdenek Kotala, with some additional cleanup by Heikki Linnakangas.
I did not apply the parts of the proposed patch that would have resulted in
slightly changing the on-disk format of hash indexes; it seems to me that's
not a win as long as there's any chance of having in-place upgrade for 8.4.
warnings. Clean up various unneeded cruft that was left behind after
creating those routines. Introduce some convenience functions str_tolower_z
etc to eliminate tedious and error-prone double arguments in formatting.c.
(Currently there seems no need to export the latter, but maybe reconsider
this later.)
Document return type of cast functions.
Also change documentation to prefer the term "binary coercible" in its
present sense instead of the previous term "binary compatible".
CopySnapshot, per Neil Conway. Also add a comment about the assumption in
GetSnapshotData that the argument is statically allocated.
Also, fix some more typos in comments in snapmgr.c.
wal_segment_size to make those configuration parameters available to clients,
in the same way that block_size was previously exposed. Bernd Helmle, with
comments from Abhijit Menon-Sen and some further tweaking by me.
the current query level that aren't in fact output parameters of the current
initPlans. (This means, for example, output parameters of regular subplans.)
To make this work correctly for output parameters coming from sibling
initplans requires rejiggering the API of SS_finalize_plan just a bit:
we need the siblings to be visible to it, rather than hidden as
SS_make_initplan_from_plan had been doing. This is really part of my response
to bug #4290, but I concluded this part probably shouldn't be back-patched,
since all that it's doing is to make a debugging cross-check tighter.
bug #4290. The fundamental bug is that masking extParam by outer_params,
as finalize_plan had been doing, caused us to lose the information that
an initPlan depended on the output of a sibling initPlan. On reflection
the best thing to do seemed to be not to try to adjust outer_params for
this case but get rid of it entirely. The only thing it was really doing
for us was to filter out param IDs associated with SubPlan nodes, and that
can be done (with greater accuracy) while processing individual SubPlan
nodes in finalize_primnode. This approach was vindicated by the discovery
that the masking method was hiding a second bug: SS_finalize_plan failed to
remove extParam bits for initPlan output params that were referenced in the
main plan tree (it only got rid of those referenced by other initPlans).
It's not clear that this caused any real problems, given the limited use
of extParam by the executor, but it's certainly not what was intended.
I originally thought that there was also a problem with needing to include
indirect dependencies on external params in initPlans' param sets, but it
turns out that the executor handles this correctly so long as the depended-on
initPlan is earlier in the initPlans list than the one using its output.
That seems a bit of a fragile assumption, but it is true at the moment,
so I just documented it in some code comments rather than making what would
be rather invasive changes to remove the assumption.
Back-patch to 8.1. Previous versions don't have the case of initPlans
referring to other initPlans' outputs, so while the existing logic is still
questionable for them, there are not any known bugs to be fixed. So I'll
refrain from changing them for now.
1024 to improve performance when sending large elog messages. Also add a
comment about why we use that number.
Since this represents an externally visible behavior change, and might
possibly result in portability issues, it seems best not to back-patch it.
log message at newlines cost O(N^2) for very long messages with few or no
newlines. For messages in the megabyte range this became the dominant cost.
Per gripe from Achilleas Mantzios.
Patch all the way back, since this is a safe change with no portability
risks. I am also thinking of increasing PG_SYSLOG_LIMIT, but that should
be done separately.
