on Windows. ecpglib doesn't link with libpgport, but picks and compiles
the .c files it needs individually. To cope with that, move the setlocale()

Avoid compile problems with defines being redefined after the removal of
the #if blocks.
Change script to use shell functions for simplicity.
In the process, remove almost all knowledge of individual .y and .l files,
and instead get invocation settings from the relevant make files.
The exception is plpgsql's gram.y, which has a target with a different
name. It is hoped that this will make the scripts more future-proof,
so that they won't require adjustment every time we add a new .l or .y
file.
The logic is also notably less tortured than that forced on us
by the idiosyncrasies of the Windows command processor.
The .bat files are kept as thin wrappers for the perl scripts.
The old .bat file wasn't working for reasons that are unclear, and
which it did not seem worth the trouble to ascertain.
The new perl script has been tested and is known to work.
Soon it will be tested regularly on the buildfarm.
The .bat file is kept as a simple wrapper for the perl script.
The MSVC compiler complains if a macro is called with less arguments
than its definition provides for. flex generates a macro with one
argument for yywrap, but only supplies the argument for reentrant
scanners, so we remove the useless argument in the non-reentrant
case to silence the warning.
Teach the program and script to deal with OID-array referencing columns,
which we now have several of. Also, modify the recommended usage process
to specify that the program should be run against the regression database
rather than template1. This lets it find numerous joins that cannot be
found in template1 because the relevant catalogs are entirely empty.
Together these changes add seventeen formerly-missed cases to the oidjoins
regression test.
Since both tarballs and git now result in a "postgresql" directory
rather than a "pgsql" directory, adjust the example configuration to
look for the former.
... for some value of "properly". Instead of overriding REGRESS_OPTS,
set the variables ENCODING and NO_LOCALE, which is more expressive and
allows overriding by the user. Fix vcregress.pl to handle that.
The original scheme for this was to symlink plpython.$DLSUFFIX to
plpython2.$DLSUFFIX, but that doesn't work on Windows, and only
accidentally failed to fail because of the way that CREATE LANGUAGE created
or didn't create new C functions. My changes of yesterday exposed the
weakness of that approach. To fix, get rid of the symlink and make
pg_pltemplate show what's really going on.
This mostly just involves creating control, install, and
update-from-unpackaged scripts for them. However, I had to adjust plperl
and plpython to not share the same support functions between variants,
because we can't put the same function into multiple extensions.
catversion bump forced due to new contents of pg_pltemplate, and because
initdb now installs plpgsql as an extension not a bare language.
Add support for regression testing these as extensions not bare
languages.
Fix a couple of other issues that popped up while testing this: my initial
hack at pg_dump binary-upgrade support didn't work right, and we don't want
an extra schema permissions test after all.
Documentation changes still to come, but I'm committing now to see
whether the MSVC build scripts need work (likely they do).
This provides a separate exception class for each error code that the
backend defines, as well as the ability to get the SQLSTATE from the
exception object.

Until now, our Serializable mode has in fact been what's called Snapshot
Isolation, which allows some anomalies that could not occur in any
serialized ordering of the transactions. This patch fixes that using a
method called Serializable Snapshot Isolation, based on research papers by
Michael J. Cahill (see README-SSI for full references). In Serializable
Snapshot Isolation, transactions run like they do in Snapshot Isolation,
but a predicate lock manager observes the reads and writes performed and
aborts transactions if it detects that an anomaly might occur. This method
produces some false positives, ie. it sometimes aborts transactions even
though there is no anomaly.
To track reads we implement predicate locking, see storage/lmgr/predicate.c.
Whenever a tuple is read, a predicate lock is acquired on the tuple. Shared
memory is finite, so when a transaction takes many tuple-level locks on a
page, the locks are promoted to a single page-level lock, and further to a
single relation level lock if necessary. To lock key values with no matching
tuple, a sequential scan always takes a relation-level lock, and an index
scan acquires a page-level lock that covers the search key, whether or not
there are any matching keys at the moment.
A predicate lock doesn't conflict with any regular locks or with another
predicate locks in the normal sense. They're only used by the predicate lock
manager to detect the danger of anomalies. Only serializable transactions
participate in predicate locking, so there should be no extra overhead for
for other transactions.
Predicate locks can't be released at commit, but must be remembered until
all the transactions that overlapped with it have completed. That means that
we need to remember an unbounded amount of predicate locks, so we apply a
lossy but conservative method of tracking locks for committed transactions.
If we run short of shared memory, we overflow to a new "pg_serial" SLRU
pool.
We don't currently allow Serializable transactions in Hot Standby mode.
That would be hard, because even read-only transactions can cause anomalies
that wouldn't otherwise occur.
Serializable isolation mode now means the new fully serializable level.
Repeatable Read gives you the old Snapshot Isolation level that we have
always had.

This fixes make distprep, and seems more robust in other ways as well.
Some special handling is required because errcodes.txt is needed by
some stuff in src/port, but just by src/backend as is the case for the
other generated headers.
While I'm at it, fix a few other things that were overlooked in the
original patch.
src/pl/plpgsql/src/plerrcodes.h, src/include/utils/errcodes.h, and a
big chunk of errcodes.sgml are now automatically generated from a single
file, src/backend/utils/errcodes.txt.

This tool makes it possible to do the pg_start_backup/
copy files/pg_stop_backup step in a single command.
There are still some steps to be done before this is a
complete backup solution, such as the ability to stream
the required WAL logs, but it's still usable, and
could do with some buildfarm coverage.
In passing, make the checkpoint request optionally
fast instead of hardcoding it.

Makes it easier to parse mainly the BASE_BACKUP command
with it's options, and avoids having to manually deal
with quoted identifiers in the label (previously broken),
and makes it easier to add new commands and options in
the future.
In passing, refactor the case statement in the walsender
to put each command in it's own function.
This is slower than the original coding but avoids the problem of
including files in an unpredictable order. Aside from being more
trustworthy, we can get rid of some exclusions that were formerly
made for what turn out to be ordering or re-inclusion problems.
I also modified it to include libpq's exported files in the check.
ecpg should be included as well, but I'm unclear on which ecpg .h
files are meant to be included by clients.
Replace for loops in makefiles with proper dependencies. Parallel
make can now span across directories. Also, make -k and make -q work
properly.
GNU make 3.80 or newer is now required.
Look only at the non-localized part of the output from "vcbuild /?",
which is used to determine the version of Visual Studio in use. Different
languages seem to localize different amounts of the string, but we assume
the part "Microsoft Visual C++" won't be modified.
1. Resurrect the behavior where old commits on master will have Branch:
labels for branches sprouted after the commit was made. I'm still
dubious about this mode, but if you want it, say --post-date or -p.
2. Annotate the Branch: labels with the release or branch in which the
commit was publicly released. For example, on a release branch you could
see
Branch: REL8_3_STABLE Release: REL8_3_2 [92c3a8004] 2008-03-29 00:15:37 +0000
showing that the fix was released in 8.3.2. Commits on master will
usually instead have notes like
Branch: master Release: REL8_4_BR [6fc9d4272] 2008-03-29 00:15:28 +0000
showing that this commit is ancestral to release branches 8.4 and later.
If no Release: marker appears, the commit hasn't yet made it into any
release.
3. Add support for release branches older than 7.4.
4. The implementation is improved by running git log on each branch only
back to where the branch sprouts from master. This saves a good deal
of time (about 50% of the runtime when generating the complete history).
We generate the post-date-mode tags via a direct understanding that
they should be applied to master commits made before the branch sprouted,
rather than backing into them via matching (which isn't any too
reliable when people used identical log messages for successive commits).
1. Don't assume there's only one candidate match; check them all and use the
one with the closest timestamp. Avoids funny output when someone makes
several successive commits with the same log message, as certain people
have been known to do.
2. When the same commit (with the same SHA1) is reachable from multiple
branch tips, don't report it for all the branches; instead report it only
for the first such branch. Given our development practices, this case
arises only for commits that occurred before a given branch split off from
master. The original coding blamed old commits on *all* the branches,
which isn't terribly useful; the new coding blames such a commit only on
master.
1. Don't forget the last (oldest) commit on the oldest branch.
2. When considering which commit to print next, if two alternatives have
the same "distortion" score (which is actually the normal case, since
generally the "distortion" is 0), then choose the later timestamp to
print first. I don't know where Robert got the idea to ignore timestamps
and sort by branch age, but it wasn't a good idea: the resulting ordering
of commits was just plain bizarre anywhere that some branches had many
fewer commits than others, which is the typical situation for us.
Avoid depending on Date::Calc, which isn't in a basic Perl installation,
when we can equally well use Time::Local which is. Also fix the parsing
of timestamps to take heed of the timezone. (It looks like cvs2git emitted
all commit timestamps with zone GMT, so this refinement might've looked
unnecessary when looking at converted data; but it's needed now.)
Fix parsing of message bodies so that blank lines that may or may not get
emitted by "git log" aren't confused with real data. This avoids strange
formatting of the oldest commit on a branch.
Check child-process exit status, so that we actually notice if "git log"
fails, and so that we don't accumulate zombie children.
This script is intended to substitute for cvs2cl in generating release
notes and scrutinizing what got back-patched to which branches.

wait until it is set. Latches can be used to reliably wait until a signal
arrives, which is hard otherwise because signals don't interrupt select()
on some platforms, and even when they do, there's race conditions.
On Unix, latches use the so called self-pipe trick under the covers to
implement the sleep until the latch is set, without race conditions. On
Windows, Windows events are used.
Use the new latch abstraction to sleep in walsender, so that as soon as
a transaction finishes, walsender is woken up to immediately send the WAL
to the standby. This reduces the latency between master and standby, which
is good.
Preliminary work by Fujii Masao. The latch implementation is by me, with
helpful comments from many people.
linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when
linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This
provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than
the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific
%.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that
before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD)
directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the
most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.)

pg_attribute, by having genbki.pl derive the information from the various
catalog header files. This greatly simplifies modification of the
"bootstrapped" catalogs.
This patch finally kills genbki.sh and Gen_fmgrtab.sh; we now rely entirely on
Perl scripts for those build steps. To avoid creating a Perl build dependency
where there was not one before, the output files generated by these scripts
are now treated as distprep targets, ie, they will be built and shipped in
tarballs. But you will need a reasonably modern Perl (probably at least
5.6) if you want to build from a CVS pull.
The changes to the MSVC build process are untested, and may well break ---
we'll soon find out from the buildfarm.

the handling of keywords is significantly better-structured, allowing us to

This commit doesn't do anything especially useful by itself, but it's

Test coverage support now covers the entire source tree, including

This turned out to be much easier than feared. Besides a few ad hoc fixes
to pass the make target down the tree, change all affected makefiles to
list their directories in the SUBDIRS variable, changed from variants like
DIRS and WANTED_DIRS. MSVC build fix was attempted as well.
