with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion. I still want to do some
more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk
of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...
1. Reworked patch from Andrey Oktyabrski (ano@spider.ru) with
functions: icount, sort, sort_asc, uniq, idx, subarray
operations: #, +, -, |, &
FUNCTIONS:
int icount(int[]) - the number of elements in intarray
int[] sort(int[], 'asc' | 'desc') - sort intarray
int[] sort(int[]) - sort in ascending order
int[] sort_asc(int[]),sort_desc(int[]) - shortcuts for sort
int[] uniq(int[]) - returns unique elements
int idx(int[], int item) - returns index of first intarray matching element
to item, or '0' if matching failed.
int[] subarray(int[],int START [, int LEN]) - returns part of intarray
starting from element number START (from 1)
and length LEN.
OPERATIONS:
int[] && int[] - overlap - returns TRUE if arrays has at least one common elements.
int[] @ int[] - contains - returns TRUE if left array contains right array
int[] ~ int[] - contained - returns TRUE if left array is contained in right array
# int[] - return the number of elements in array
int[] + int - push element to array ( add to end of array)
int[] + int[] - merge of arrays (right array added to the end of left one)
int[] - int - remove entries matched by right argument from array
int[] - int[] - remove left array from right
int[] | int - returns intarray - union of arguments
int[] | int[] - returns intarray as a union of two arrays
int[] & int[] - returns intersection of arrays

documentation (xindex.sgml should be rewritten), need to teach pg_dump
about it, need to update contrib modules that currently build pg_opclass
entries by hand. Original patch by Bill Studenmund, grammar adjustments
and general update for 7.3 by Tom Lane.
Fixed bug with '=' operator for gist__int_ops and
define '=' operator for gist__intbig_ops opclass.
Now '=' operator is consistent with standard 'array' type.
Thanks Achilleus Mantzios for bug report and suggestion.

an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass. Nothing is done with it at
present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which
suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.
written a generic framework of rules that the contrib makefiles can
use instead of writing their own each time. You only need to set a few
variables and off you go.
pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.
Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.
Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane.
initdb forced.
default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them.
Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now;
pg_description has a three-column key instead of one.
Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey
has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and
triggers in a valid order.
initdb forced.
(as proposed in http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=1028327)
2. support for 'pass-by-value' arguments - to test this
we used special opclass for int4 with values in range [0-2^15]
More testing will be done after resolving problem with
index_formtuple and implementation of B-tree using GiST
3. small patch to contrib modules (seg,cube,rtree_gist,intarray) -
mark functions as 'isstrict' where needed.

! #define ARRISNULL(x) ( (x) ? ( ( ARR_NDIM(x) == NDIM ) ? ( ( ARRNELEMS( x ) )
? 0 : 1 ) : ( ( ARR_NDIM(x) ) ? (elog(ERROR,"Array is not one-dimentional: %d di
mentions", ARR_NDIM(x)),1) : 1 ) ) : 1 )
Should be "one-dimensional" and "dimensions". Bruce, would you fix that
when you apply it?

Cygwin with the possible exception of mSQL-interface. Since I don't
have mSQL installed, I skipped this tool.
Except for dealing with a missing getopt.h (oid2name) and HUGE (seg),
the bulk of the patch uses the standard PostgreSQL approach to deal with
Windows DLL issues.
I tested the build aspect of this patch under Cygwin and Linux without
any ill affects. Note that I did not actually attempt to test the code
for functionality.
The procedure to apply the patch is as follows:
$ # save the attachment as /tmp/contrib.patch
$ # change directory to the top of the PostgreSQL source tree
$ patch -p0 </tmp/contrib.patch

are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
