- replace some function signatures of the form "some_type foo()" with
"some_type foo(void)"
- replace a few instances of a literal 0 being used as a NULL pointer;
there are more instances of this in the code, but I just fixed a few
- in src/backend/utils/mb/wstrncmp.c, replace K&R style function
declarations with ANSI style, remove use of 'register' keyword
- remove an "extern" modifier that was applied to a function definition
(rather than a declaration)
The vars are renamed to data_directory, config_file, hba_file, and
ident_file, and are guaranteed to be set to accurate absolute paths
during postmaster startup.
This commit does not yet do anything about hiding path values from
non-superusers.
Refactor code into something reasonably understandable, cause
use of the feature to not fail in standalone backends or in
EXEC_BACKEND case, fix sloppy guc.c table entries, make the
documentation minimally usable.
list elements comma-separated instead of barfing. This allows elimination
of half a dozen redundant copies of that behavior, and also makes the
world safe again for pg_get_expr() applied to pg_index.indexprs, per gripe
from Alexander Zhiltsov.
columns. The returned tuple needs to have appropriate NULL columns
inserted so that it actually matches the declared rowtype. It seemed
convenient to use a JunkFilter for this, so I made some cleanups and
simplifications in the JunkFilter code to allow it to support this
additional functionality. (That in turn exposed a latent bug in
nodeAppend.c, which is that it was returning a tuple slot whose
descriptor didn't match its data.) Also, move check_sql_fn_retval
out of pg_proc.c and into functions.c, where it seems to more naturally
belong.
* We are not sure how much precision is in tv_usec, so we
* swap the high and low 16 bits of 'later' and XOR them with
* 'earlier'. On the off chance that the result is 0, we

different backends get a reasonably wide set of initial seeds even if
gettimeofday returns tv_usec values with only a few bits of precision.
Per recent discussion.
* Links with -leay32 and -lssleay32 instead of crypto and ssl. On win32,
"crypto and ssl" is only used for static linking.
* Initializes SSL in the backend and not just in the postmaster. We
cannot pass the SSL context from the postmaster through the parameter
file, because it contains function pointers.
* Split one error check in be-secure.c. Previously we could not tell
which of three calls actually failed. The previous code also returned
incorrect error messages if SSL_accept() failed - that function needs to
use SSL_get_error() on the return value, can't just use the error queue.
* Since the win32 implementation uses non-blocking sockets "behind the
scenes" in order to deliver signals correctly, implements a version of
SSL_accept() that can handle this. Also, add a wait function in case
SSL_read or SSL_write() needs more data.

running contains VACUUM or a similar command that will internally start
and commit transactions. In such a case, the original caller values of
CurrentMemoryContext and CurrentResourceOwner will point to objects that
will be destroyed by the internal commit. We must restore these pointers
to point to the newly-manufactured transaction context and resource owner,
rather than possibly pointing to deleted memory.
Also tweak xact.c so that AbortTransaction and AbortSubTransaction
forcibly restore a sane value for CurrentResourceOwner, much as they
have always done for CurrentMemoryContext. I'm not certain this is
necessary but I'm feeling paranoid today.

bigint variants). Clean up some inconsistencies in error message wording.
Fix scanint8 to allow trailing whitespace in INT64_MIN case. Update
int8-exp-three-digits.out, which seems to have been ignored by the last
couple of people to modify the int8 regression test, and remove
int8-exp-three-digits-win32.out which is thereby exposed as redundant.
from Sebastian Böck. The fix involves being more consistent about
when rangetable entries are copied or modified. Someday we really
need to fix this stuff to not scribble on its input data structures
in the first place...
This seems the cleanest way of fixing its lack of a shutdown callback,
which was preventing it from working correctly in a query that didn't
run it to completion. Per bug report from Szima GÄbor.
must be stale. Tweak example startup scripts to not use pg_ctl but launch
the postmaster directly, thereby ensuring that only the postmaster's direct
parent shell will be a postgres-owned process. In combination these should
fix the longstanding problem of the postmaster sometimes refusing to start
during reboot because it thinks the old lockfile is not stale.
of locking used by REINDEX. REINDEX needs only ShareLock on the parent
table, same as CREATE INDEX, plus an exclusive lock on the specific index
being processed.
to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code
for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect
that case cleanly.
now are supposed to take some kind of lock on an index whenever you
are going to access the index contents, rather than relying only on a
lock on the parent table.
a separate production func_expr. This allows us to accept all these
variants in the backwards-compatible syntax for creating a functional
index; which beats documenting exactly which things work and which don't.
Interestingly, it also seems to make the generated state machine a little
bit smaller.
(1) Replace while loop with the new forboth() construct in
parser/analyze.c
(2) Replace lcons() with lappend() in SearchCatCacheList(). Since these
now have the same performance, there is no reason to prefer lcons() in
this case, and using lappend() leads to cleaner code.
(3) Improve the name of the second parameter to for_each_cell()
and hopefully improve code clarity while at it. One intentional
semantics change: a backslashed space will not be treated as removable
trailing whitespace, as the prior coding would do. ISTM that if it
wouldn't be considered removable leading whitespace, it shouldn't be
stripped at the end either.
