Andres Freund 902ab2fcef meson: Add windows resource files
The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old
buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were
mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in
at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a
"auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases -
unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

Andres Freund e6927270cd meson: Add initial version of meson based build system
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.

After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.

We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.

This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).

Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.

When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.

The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

Since 19252e8ec9 we reject Python 2 during build configuration. Now that the
dust on the buildfarm has settled, remove Python 2 specific code, including
the "Python 2/3 porting layer".

The code to detect conflicts between plpython using Python 2 and 3 is not

for Python 2.

Tom Lane e07e2a40bd Improve error messages in ltree_in and lquery_in.
Ensure that the type name is mentioned in all cases (bare "syntax error"
isn't that helpful).  Avoid using the term "level", since that's not
used in the documentation.  Phrase error position reports as "at
character N" not "in position N"; the latter seems ambiguous, and it's
certainly not how we say it elsewhere.  For the same reason, make the
character position values be 1-based not 0-based.  Provide a position
in more cases.  (I continued to leave that out of messages complaining
about end-of-input, where it seemed pointless, as well as messages
complaining about overall input complexity, where fingering any one part
of the input would be arbitrary.)

Andres Freund 01368e5d9d Split all OBJS style lines in makefiles into one-line-per-entry style.
When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources
for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when
the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is
somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those
conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.

By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one
object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to
resolve when they still occur.

Amit Kapila 7e735035f2 Make the order of the header file includes consistent in contrib modules.
The basic rule we follow here is to always first include 'postgres.h' or
'postgres_fe.h' whichever is applicable, then system header includes and
then Postgres header includes.  In this, we also follow that all the
Postgres header includes are in order based on their ASCII value.  We
generally follow these rules, but the code has deviated in many places.
This commit makes it consistent just for contrib modules.  The later
commits will enforce similar rules in other parts of code.

Andrew Gierth 60f6756f92 Fix out-of-tree build for transform modules.
Neither plperl nor plpython installed sufficient header files to
permit transform modules to be built out-of-tree using PGXS. Fix that
by installing all plperl and plpython header files (other than those
with special purposes such as generated data tables), and also install
plpython's special .mk file for mangling regression tests.

(This commit does not fix the windows install, which does not
currently install _any_ plperl or plpython headers.)

Also fix the existing transform modules for hstore and ltree so that
their cross-module #include directives work as anticipated by commit
df163230b9 et seq. This allows them to serve as working examples of
how to reference other modules when doing separate out-of-tree builds.

Tom Lane dddfc4cb2e Prevent accidental linking of system-supplied copies of libpq.so etc.
We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.

To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS.  This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order.  For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)

This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable.  And likewise for PG_LIBS.

Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.

In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common".  Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them.  In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.

This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

Peter Eisentraut d0aa965c0a Consistently catch errors from Python _New() functions
Python Py*_New() functions can fail and return NULL in out-of-memory
conditions.  The previous code handled that inconsistently or not at
all.  This change organizes that better.  If we are in a function that
is called from Python, we just check for failure and return NULL
ourselves, which will cause any exception information to be passed up.
If we are called from PostgreSQL, we consistently create an "out of
memory" error.

Tom Lane 4bd1994650 Make DatumGetFoo/PG_GETARG_FOO/PG_RETURN_FOO macro names more consistent.
By project convention, these names should include "P" when dealing with a
pointer type; that is, if the result of a GETARG macro is of type FOO *,
it should be called PG_GETARG_FOO_P not just PG_GETARG_FOO.  Some newer
types such as JSONB and ranges had not followed the convention, and a
number of contrib modules hadn't gotten that memo either.  Rename the
offending macros to improve consistency.

In passing, fix a few places that thought PG_DETOAST_DATUM() returns
a Datum; it does not, it returns "struct varlena *".  Applying
DatumGetPointer to that happens not to cause any bad effects today,
but it's formally wrong.  Also, adjust an ltree macro that was designed
without any thought for what pgindent would do with it.

This is all cosmetic and shouldn't have any impact on generated code.

Tom Lane 5484c0a980 Minor fixes in contrib installation scripts.
Extension scripts should never use CREATE OR REPLACE for initial object
creation.  If there is a collision with a pre-existing (probably
user-created) object, we want extension installation to fail, not silently
overwrite the user's object.  Bloom and sslinfo both violated this precept.

Also fix a number of scripts that had no standard header (the file name
comment and the \echo...\quit guard).  Probably the \echo...\quit hack
is less important now than it was in 9.1 days, but that doesn't mean
that individual extensions get to choose whether to use it or not.

And fix a couple of evident copy-and-pasteos in file name comments.

No need for back-patch: the REPLACE bugs are both new in 9.6, and the
rest of this is pretty much cosmetic.

Tom Lane fb6fcbd33f Use LOAD not actual code execution to pull in plpython library.
Commit 866566a690 is insufficient to prevent dump/reload failures
when using transform modules in a database with both plpython2 and
plpython3 installed.  The reason is that the transform extension scripts
use DO blocks as a mechanism to pull in the libpython library before
creating the transform function.  It's necessary to preload the library
because the dynamic loader won't do it for us on every platform, leading
to "unresolved symbol" failures when the transform library is loaded.
But it's *not* necessary to execute Python code, and doing so will
provoke a multiple-Pythons-are-loaded error even after the preceding
commit.

To fix, use LOAD instead of a DO block.  That requires superuser privilege,
but creation of a C function does anyway.  It also embeds knowledge of
the underlying library name for each PL language; but that's wired into
the initdb-time contents of pg_pltemplate too, so that doesn't seem like
a large problem either.  Note that CREATE TRANSFORM as such doesn't call
the language module at all.

Per a report from Paul Jones.  Back-patch to 9.5 where transform modules
were introduced.

Andres Freund b67aaf21e8 Add CASCADE support for CREATE EXTENSION.
Without CASCADE, if an extension has an unfullfilled dependency on
another extension, CREATE EXTENSION ERRORs out with "required extension
... is not installed". That is annoying, especially when that dependency
is an implementation detail of the extension, rather than something the
extension's user can make sense of.

In addition to CASCADE this also includes a small set of regression
tests around CREATE EXTENSION.

Tom Lane 0426f349ef Rearrange the handling of error context reports.
Remove the code in plpgsql that suppressed the innermost line of CONTEXT
for messages emitted by RAISE commands.  That was never more than a quick
backwards-compatibility hack, and it's pretty silly in cases where the
RAISE is nested in several levels of function.  What's more, it violated
our design theory that verbosity of error reports should be controlled
on the client side not the server side.

To alleviate the resulting noise increase, introduce a feature in libpq
and psql whereby the CONTEXT field of messages can be suppressed, either
always or only for non-error messages.  Printing CONTEXT for errors only
is now their default behavior.

The actual code changes here are pretty small, but the effects on the
regression test outputs are widespread.  I had to edit some of the
alternative expected outputs by hand; hopefully the buildfarm will soon
find anything I fat-fingered.

In passing, fix up (again) the output line counts in psql's various
help displays.  Add some commentary about how to verify them.
