This patch converts the input functions for bool, int2, int4, int8,
float4, float8, numeric, and contrib/cube to the new soft-error style.
array_in and record_in are also converted. There's lots more to do,
but this is enough to provide proof-of-concept that the soft-error
API is usable, as well as reference examples for how to convert
input functions.
This patch is mostly by me, but it owes very substantial debt to
earlier work by Nikita Glukhov, Andrew Dunstan, and Amul Sul.
Thanks to Andres Freund for review.

Since the retirement of some older buildfarm members, the oldest Bison
that gets regular testing is 2.3. MacOS ships that version, and will
continue doing so for the forseeable future because of Apple's policy
regarding GPLv3. While Mac users could use a package manager to install
a newer version, there is no compelling reason to force them do so at
this time.

Some data types under adt/ have separate header files, but most simple
ones do not, and their public functions are defined in builtins.h. As
the patches improving geometric types will require making additional
functions public, this seems like a good opportunity to create a header
for floats types.
Commit 1acf757255 made _cmp functions public to solve NaN issues locally
for GiST indexes. This patch reworks it in favour of a more widely
applicable API. The API uses inline functions, as they are easier to
use compared to macros, and avoid double-evaluation hazards.

It's always been possible to create a zero-dimensional cube by converting
from a zero-length float8 array, but cube_in failed to accept the '()'
representation that cube_out produced for that case, resulting in a
dump/reload hazard. Make it accept the case. Also fix a couple of
other places that didn't behave sanely for zero-dimensional cubes:
cube_size would produce 1.0 when surely the answer should be 0.0,
and g_cube_distance risked a divide-by-zero failure.
Likewise, it's always been possible to create cubes containing float8
infinity or NaN coordinate values, but cube_in couldn't parse such input,
and cube_out produced platform-dependent spellings of the values. Convert
them to use float8in_internal and float8out_internal so that the behavior
will be the same as for float8, as we recently did for the core geometric
types (cf commit 50861cd68). As in that commit, I don't pretend that this
patch fixes all insane corner-case behaviors that may exist for NaNs, but
it's a step forward.
(This change allows removal of the separate cube_1.out and cube_3.out
expected-files, as the platform dependency that previously required them
is now gone: an underflowing coordinate value will now produce an error
not plus or minus zero.)
Make errors from cube_in follow project conventions as to spelling
("invalid input syntax for cube" not "bad cube representation")
and errcode (INVALID_TEXT_REPRESENTATION not SYNTAX_ERROR).
Also a few marginal code cleanups and comment improvements.

This improves on commit bbfd7edae5 by
making two simple changes:
* pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn().
Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces
pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them.
* attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not
definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts,
which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent
but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a
noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if
we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc
compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns.
I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of
declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete
anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
This reverts commit 45b7abe59e.
It turns out that the %name-prefix syntax without "=" does not work
at all in pre-2.4 Bison. We are not prepared to make such a large
jump in minimum required Bison version just to suppress a warning
message in a version hardly any developers are using yet.
When 3.0 gets more popular, we'll figure out a way to deal with this.
In the meantime, BISONFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated is recommendable for
anyone using 3.0 who doesn't want to see the warning.
%name-prefix doesn't use an "=" sign according to the Bison docs, but it
silently accepted one anyway, until Bison 3.0. This was originally a
typo of mine in commit 012abebab1, and we
seem to have slavishly copied the error into all the other grammar files.
Per report from Vik Fearing; analysis by Peter Eisentraut.
Back-patch to all active branches, since somebody might try to build
a back branch with up-to-date tools.
If the lower left and upper right corners of a cube are the same, set a
flag in the cube header, and only store one copy of the coordinates. That
cuts the on-disk size into half for the common case that the cube datatype
is used to represent points rather than boxes.
The new format is backwards-compatible with the old one, so pg_upgrade
still works. However, to get the space savings, the data needs to be
rewritten. A simple VACUUM FULL or REINDEX is not enough, as the old
Datums will just be moved to the new heap/index as is. A pg_dump and
reload, or something similar like casting to text and back, will do the
trick.
This patch deliberately doesn't update all the alternative expected output
files, as I don't have access to machines that produce those outputs. I'm
not sure if they are still relevant, but if they are, the buildfarm will
tell us and produce the diff required to fix it. If none of the buildfarm
animals need them, they should be removed altogether.
Patch by Stas Kelvich.
These modules used the YYPARSE_PARAM macro, which has been deprecated
by the bison folk since 1.875, and which they finally removed in 3.0.
Adjust the code to use the replacement facility, %parse-param, which
is a much better solution anyway since it allows specification of the
type of the extra parser parameter. We can thus get rid of a lot of
unsightly casting.

and so wouldn't be reclaimed; this patch makes it use palloc instead,
so that flushing the current context will reclaim the memory. Per

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.

Recent changes include changing the subscript in one place I forgot
in the previous bugfix patch. A couple of added regression tests, which
should help catch this mistake if it reappears.
I also put in a limit of 100 dimensions in cube_large and cube_in to
prevent making it easy to create very large cubes. Changing one define
in cubedata.h will raise the limit if some needs more dimensions.

already fixed by You. However there were a few left and attached patch
should fix the rest of them.
I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug
ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all
the other code does.
I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing
snprintf(buf, 2 * BUFSIZE, ... style lines to
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array.

cubeparse.y.
