which is a global variable not a function, and so the probe failed on machines
where the linker makes a distinction (cf. Red Hat bug #444317). Probe for
an actual function instead.

flags by separate AT_SetNotNull subcommands. That was always ugly and
inefficient, and it's now clear that it was merely a partial workaround
for the bug just identified in ATExecAddColumn. This is just code
beautification not a bug fix, so no back-patch.

checked to see if it's been initialized to all non-nulls. The implicit NOT
NULL constraint was not being checked during the ALTER (in fact, not even if
there was an explicit NOT NULL too), because ATExecAddColumn neglected to
set the flag needed to make the test happen. This has been broken since
the capability was first added, in 8.0.

It was my mistake, I missed limitation of number of held locks, now GIN doesn't
use continiuous locks, but still hold buffers pinned to prevent interference
with vacuum's deletion algorithm.
Backpatch is needed.
ordinary expressions. This probably doesn't catch every single case
where you might get "cache lookup failed for function 0" for use of a
shell operator, but it will catch most. Per bug #4120 from Pedro Gimeno.
This patch incidentally folds make_op_expr() into its sole remaining
caller --- the alternative was to give it yet more arguments, which
didn't seem an improvement.
output is not of the same type that's needed for the IN comparison (ie,
where the parser inserted an implicit coercion above the subselect result).
We should record the coerced expression, not just a raw Var referencing
the subselect output, as the quantity that needs to be unique-ified if
we choose to implement the IN as Unique followed by a plain join.
As of 8.3 this error was causing crashes, as seen in bug #4113 from Javier
Hernandez, because the executor was being told to hash or sort the raw
subselect output column using operators appropriate to the coerced type.
In prior versions there was no crash because the executor chose the
hash or sort operators for itself based on the column type it saw.
However, that's still not really right, because what's unique for one data
type might not be unique for another. In corner cases we could get multiple
outputs of a row that should appear only once, as demonstrated by the
regression test case included in this commit.
However, this patch doesn't apply cleanly to 8.2 or before, and the code
involved has shifted enough over time that I'm hesitant to try to back-patch.
Given the lack of complaints from the field about such corner cases, I think
the bug may not be important enough to risk breaking other things with a
back-patch.
version ones, to make it clear to users just browsing the notes
that there are a lot more changes available from whatever version
they are at than what's in the minor version release notes.
UPDATE/SHARE couldn't occur as a subquery in a query with a non-SELECT
top-level operation. Symptoms included outright failure (as in report from
Mark Mielke) and silently neglecting to take the requested row locks.
Back-patch to 8.3, because the visible failure in the INSERT ... SELECT case
is a regression from 8.2. I'm a bit hesitant to back-patch further given the
lack of field complaints.

do it in the MSVC build system ...
and version-1 if USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL. This might seem a bit pointless, but the
idea is to have at least one regression test that will fail if we ever
accidentally break version-0 functions that return float8. However, they're
already broken, or at least hopelessly unportable, in the USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL
case.
Per a recent suggestion from Greg Stark.
where Datum is 8 bytes wide. Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior. Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

I never understood why initial authors GiST in pgsql choose so
stgrange signature for 'same' method:
bool *sameFn(Datum a, Datum b, bool* result)
instead of simple, logical
bool sameFn(Datum a, Datum b)
This change will break any existing GiST extension, so we still live with
it and will live.
