unportable backslashes in awk script (per Patrick Welche), and add
brackets to prevent autoconf from mangling sed's regexp (the sed call
here never did what was expected).
If this breaks things due to missing libxslt, then I'll have to
revert it, but let's see if it breaks the buildfarm.
Workarounds in case libxslt is missing include:
. don't configure with libxml, or
. don't build contrib modules from the contrib Makefile (use the individual module Makefiles instead), or
. change the xml2 Makefile
right, there seems precious little reason to have a pile of hand-maintained
endianness definitions in src/include/port/*.h. Get rid of those, and make
the couple of places that used them depend on WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead.
This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple
(without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields. While all available
regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and
cranny, especially in contrib.

ecpglib supports it.
Change configure (patch from Bruce) and msvc build system to no longer require
pthreads on win32, since all parts of postgresql can be thread-safe using the
native platform functions.
include it if it links properly. It seems too risky to assume that
standard functions like pow() are not special-cased by the compiler.
Per report from Andreas Lange that build fails on Solaris cc compiler
with -fast. Even though we don't consider that a supported option,
I'm worried that similar issues will arise with other compilers.
code relies on the checking macro actually being called at the end, or the
automatic undiversion will produce garbage. These sort of implicit
side-effects undermine the modularity of the macros and happen to break the
ODBC driver which makes use of them.
Also put the warnings at the very end of configure, so there is an even
better chance of seeing them.
max_stack_depth is not set to an unsafe value.
This commit also provides configure-time checking for <sys/resource.h>,
and cleans up some perhaps-unportable code associated with use of that
include file and getrlimit().
Buildfarm results from 'gazelle' show that there are indeed libedit
versions for which history.h is a needed header, even though it's
apparently been dropped entirely in other versions. Grumble.
Per Bob Friesenhahn's report, this file is not supplied by some versions
of libedit, and even when it is supplied it seems to be just a link to
readline.h, so we don't need to include it anyway.
Also, ensure that we won't try to use a too-old version of Bison.
The previous coding would bleat but then use it anyway; better to invoke
the 'missing' script if any grammar files need to be rebuilt.
repeatedly. Now that we don't have to worry about memory leaks from
glibc's qsort, we can safely put CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the tuplesort
comparators, as was requested a couple months ago. Also, get rid of
non-reentrancy and an extra level of function call in tuplesort.c by
providing a variant qsort_arg() API that passes an extra void * argument
through to the comparison routine. (We might want to use that in other
places too, I didn't look yet.)
found. Besides stopping those early who have no dtrace installed
whatsoever, this will also alert those who have dtrace in /usr/sbin, which
might not be in the path, which would produce confusing failures much later
in the build process.
Add documentation about pointing configure to find dtrace.
for it. Hopefully will fix core dump evidenced by some buildfarm members
since fadvise patch went in. The actual definition of the function is not
ABI-compatible with compiler's default assumption in the absence of any
declaration, so it's clearly unsafe to try to call it without seeing a
declaration.

no evidence that any currently-supported platform needs this, and good
reason to think that any platform that did need it couldn't use the static
libraries anyway --- libpq, at least, has circular references. Removing
the code shuts up tsort warnings about the circular references on some
platforms.
MemSet on AIX by setting MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT to zero.
Add optimization to skip MemSet tests in MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT == 0 case and
just call memset() directly.
It seems that recent gcc versions can optimize away calls to these functions
even when the functions do not exist on the platform, resulting in a bogus
positive result. Avoid this by using a non-constant argument and ensuring
that the function result is not simply discarded. Per report from
François Laupretre.
Windows. The test itself is bypassed in configure as discussed, and
libpq has been updated appropriately to allow it to build in thread-safe
mode.

to 'Size' (that is, size_t), and install overflow detection checks in it.
This allows us to remove the former arbitrary restrictions on NBuffers
etc. It won't make any difference in a 32-bit machine, but in a 64-bit
machine you could theoretically have terabytes of shared buffers.
(How efficiently we could manage 'em remains to be seen.) Similarly,
num_temp_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem can be set above
2Gb on a 64-bit machine. Original patch from Koichi Suzuki, additional
work by moi.
of special case for Windows port. Put a PG_TRY around most of createdb()
to ensure that we remove copied subdirectories on failure, even if the
failure happens while creating the pg_database row. (I think this explains
Oliver Siegmar's recent report.) Having done that, there's no need for
the fragile assumption that copydir() mustn't ereport(ERROR), so simplify
its API. Eliminate the old code that used system("cp ...") to copy
subdirectories, in favor of using copydir() on all platforms. This not
only should allow much better error reporting, but allows us to fsync
the created files before trusting that the copy has succeeded.
