Previously a one-dimensional empty array was returned, but its text
representation matched a zero-dimensional array, and there is no way to
dump/reload a one-dimensional empty array.
BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY
Per report from elein
The Solaris Studio compiler warns about these instances, unlike more
mainstream compilers such as gcc. But manual inspection showed that
the code is clearly not reachable, and we hope no worthy compiler will
complain about removing this code.
The latter was already the dominant use, and it's preferable because
in C the convention is that intXX means XX bits. Therefore, allowing
mixed use of int2, int4, int8, int16, int32 is obviously confusing.
Remove the typedefs for int2 and int4 for now. They don't seem to be
widely used outside of the PostgreSQL source tree, and the few uses
can probably be cleaned up by the time this ships.
The array intersection code would give wrong results if the first entry of
the correct output array would be "1". (I think only this value could be
at risk, since the previous word would always be a lower-bound entry with
that fixed value.)
Problem spotted by Julien Rouhaud, initial patch by Guillaume Lelarge,
cosmetic improvements by me.
We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.
Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
This addresses only those cases that are easy to fix by adding or
moving a const qualifier or removing an unnecessary cast. There are
many more complicated cases remaining.
Added a new option --extra-install to pg_regress to arrange installing
the respective contrib directory into the temporary installation.
This is currently not yet supported for Windows MSVC builds.
Updated the .gitignore files for contrib modules to ignore the
leftovers of a temp-install check run.
Changed the exit status of "make check" in a pgxs build (which still
does nothing) to 0 from 1.
Added "make check" in contrib to top-level "make check-world".
intarray and tsearch2 both reference core support functions in their GIN
opclasses, and the signatures of those functions changed for 9.1. We added
backwards-compatible pg_proc entries for the functions in order to allow
9.0 dump files to be restored at all, but that hack leaves the opclasses
pointing at pg_proc entries different from what they'd point to if the
contrib modules were installed fresh in 9.1. To forestall any possibility
of future problems, fix the opclasses to match fresh installs via the
expedient of direct UPDATEs on pg_amproc in the update-from-unpackaged
scripts. (Yech ... but the alternatives are worse, or require far more
effort than seems justified right now.)
Note: updating pg_amproc is sufficient because there will be no pg_depend
entries corresponding to these dependencies, since the referenced functions
are all pinned.
These are needed to support reloading dumps of 9.0 installations containing
contrib/intarray or contrib/tsearch2. Since not only regular dump/reload
but binary upgrade would fail, it seems worth the trouble to carry these
stubs for awhile. Note that the contrib opclasses referencing these
functions will still work fine, since GIN doesn't actually pay any
attention to the declared signature of a support function.
It was never terribly consistent to use OR REPLACE (because of the lack of
comparable functionality for data types, operators, etc), and
experimentation shows that it's now positively pernicious in the extension
world. We really want a failure to occur if there are any conflicts, else
it's unclear what the extension-ownership state of the conflicted object
ought to be. Most of the time, CREATE EXTENSION will fail anyway because
of conflicts on other object types, but an extension defining only
functions can succeed, with bad results.
This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.

contrib/intarray's gettoken() uses a fixed-size buffer to collect an
integer's digits, and did not guard against overrunning the buffer.
This is at least a backend crash risk, and in principle might allow
arbitrary code execution. The code didn't check for overflow of the
integer value either, which while not presenting a crash risk was still
bad.
Thanks to Apple Inc's security team for reporting this issue and supplying
the fix.
Security: CVE-2010-4015
The array containment operators now behave per mathematical expectation
for empty arrays (ie, an empty array is contained in anything).
Both these operators and the query_int operators now work as expected in
GiST and GIN index searches, rather than having corner cases where the
index searches gave different answers.
Also, fix unexpected failures where the operators would claim that an array
contained nulls, when in fact there was no longer any null present (similar
to bug #5784). The restriction to not have nulls is still there, as
removing it would take a lot of added code complexity and probably slow
things down significantly.
Also, remove the arbitrary restriction to 1-D arrays; unlike the other
restriction, this was buying us nothing performance-wise.
Assorted cosmetic improvements and marginal performance improvements, too.
After parsing a parenthesized subexpression, we must pop all pending
ANDs and NOTs off the stack, just like the case for a simple operand.
Per bug #5793.
Also fix clones of this routine in contrib/intarray and contrib/ltree,
where input of types query_int and ltxtquery had the same problem.
Back-patch to all supported versions.

Back-patch to 8.3 where the logic was introduced.
the <@ and @> operators. These are not in fact equivalent to the built-in
anyarray operators of the same names, because they have different behavior for
empty arrays, namely they don't think empty arrays are contained in anything.
That is mathematically wrong, no doubt, but until we can persuade GIN indexes
to implement the mathematical definition we should probably not change this.
Another reason for not changing it now is that we can't yet ensure the
opclasses will be updated correctly in a dump-and-reload upgrade. Per
recent discussions.
don't cause confusion with the built-in anyarray versions of those operators.
Adjust the module's index opclasses to support the built-in operators in place
of the private ones.
The private implementations are still available under their historical
names @ and ~, so no functionality is lost. Some quick testing suggests
that they offer no real benefit over the core operators, however.
Per a complaint from Rusty Conover.
method to pass extra data to the consistent() and comparePartial() methods.
This is the core infrastructure needed to support the soon-to-appear
contrib/btree_gin module. The APIs are still upward compatible with the
definitions used in 8.3 and before, although *not* with the previous 8.4devel
function definitions.
catversion bump for changes in pg_proc entries (although these are just
cosmetic, since GIN doesn't actually look at the function signature before
calling it...)

unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
files.
For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.
While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more
consistent with our header style.
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes. In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.

strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple

ways. I'm not totally sure that I caught everything, but at least now they pass
their regression tests with VARSIZE/SET_VARSIZE defined to reverse byte order.
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.
