Add some quotes in the makefile snippet that creates the temporary
installation, so that it can handle spaces in the directory name and
possibly some other oddities.
Instead of just erroring out when a tool is missing, wrap the call with
the "missing" script that we are already using for bison, flex, and
perl, so that the users get a useful error message.
Apparently, older versions of "prove" (couldn't identify the exact
version from the changelog) don't look into the t/ directory for tests
by default, so specify it explicitly.
When the TAP tests are run in-tree (make check), set the shared library
path using the appropriate environment variable, using a logic similar
to pg_regress, so that the right libraries are used.
Allow the contrib/uuid-ossp extension to be built atop any one of these
three popular UUID libraries. (The extension's name is now arguably a
misnomer, but we'll keep it the same so as not to cause unnecessary
compatibility issues for users.)
We would not normally consider a change like this post-beta1, but the issue
has been forced by our upgrade to autoconf 2.69, whose more rigorous header
checks are causing OSSP's header files to be rejected on some platforms.
It's been foreseen for some time that we'd have to move away from depending
on OSSP UUID due to lack of upstream maintenance, so this is a down payment
on that problem.
While at it, add some simple regression tests, in hopes of catching any
major incompatibilities between the three implementations.

By default, lcov will call whatever gcov it can find in the path. But
if the user has specified a different gcov to configure, this could be
incompatible. So tell lcov explicitly with an option which gcov program
to call.
This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log
stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is,
inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them.
It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema
of the effected tables. The output format is controlled by a
so-called "output plugin"; an example is included. To make use of
this in a real replication system, the output plugin will need to be
modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system,
and to perform filtering.
Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding
system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream
changes via walsender.

Get rid of use of dlltool for linking the main postgres executable.
dlltool is obsolete and we'd prefer to stop depending on it.
Also, include $(LDAP_LIBS_FE) in $(libpq_pgport). (It's not clear that
this is really needed, or why it's not a linker bug if it is needed.
But reports are that it's needed on current Cygwin.)
We might want to back-patch this if it works, but first let's see
what the buildfarm thinks.

Continuing 63f32f3416, libpgcommon should
depend on libpgport, but not vice versa. But wait_result_to_str() in
wait_error.c depends on pstrdup() in libpgcommon. So move exec.c and
wait_error.c from libpgport to libpgcommon. Also switch the link order
in the place that's actually used by the failing ecpg builds.
The function declarations have been left in port.h for now. That should
perhaps be separated sometime.
Conceptually, libpgcommon can depend on libpgport, but not the other way
around. In the past, this might not have mattered, but it's needed now
for asprintf.
make maintainer-check was obscure and rarely called in practice, and
many breakages were missed. Fold everything that make maintainer-check
used to do into the normal build. Specifically:
- Call duplicate_oids when genbki.pl is called.
- Check for tabs in SGML files when the documentation is built.
- Run msgfmt with the -c option during the regular build. Add an
additional configure check to see whether we are using the GNU
version. (make maintainer-check probably used to fail with non-GNU
msgfmt.)
Keep maintainer-check as around as phony target for the time being in
case anyone is calling it. But it won't do anything anymore.
A VPATH build will be performed when the module's make file path is not
the current directory or when USE_VPATH is set.
This will assist packagers and others who prefer to build without
polluting the source directories.
There is still a bit of work to do here, notably documentation, but it's
probably a good idea to commit what we have so far and let people test
it out on their modules.
Cédric Villemain, with an addition from me.
The build of .pc (pkg-config) files depends on all makefiles in use, and
in dependency tracking mode, the previous coding ended up including
/dev/null as a makefile. Apparently, on some platforms the modification
time of /dev/null changes sporadically, and so the .pc files would end
up being rebuilt every so often. Fix that by changing the makefile code
to do without using /dev/null.
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.
Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
The PL/Python build on OS X was previously hardcoded to use the system
installation of Python, ignoring whatever was specified to configure.
Except that it would use the header files from configure, which could
lead to mismatches. It was not possible to build against a custom
Python installation.
Now, we check in configure how the specified Python installation was
built and use that, supporting framework and non-framework builds.
Normally each module is tested in a database named contrib_regression,
which is dropped and recreated at the beginhning of each pg_regress run.
This new mode, enabled by adding USE_MODULE_DB=1 to the make command
line, runs most modules in a database with the module name embedded in
it.
This will make testing pg_upgrade on clusters with the contrib modules
a lot easier.
Second attempt at this, this time accomodating make versions older
than 3.82.
Still to be done: adapt to the MSVC build system.
Backpatch to 9.0, which is the earliest version it is reasonably
possible to test upgrading from.

The introduction of the .y -> .c pattern rule causes some .c files such
as bootparse.c to be considered intermediate files in the .y -> .c -> .o
rule chain, which make would automatically delete. But in coverage
mode, the processing tools such as genhtml need those files, so mark
them as "precious" so that make preserves them.
Numerous flex and bison make rules have appeared in the source tree
over time, and they are all virtually identical, so we can replace
them by pattern rules with some variables for customization.
Users of pgxs will also be able to benefit from this.
Get rid of the fundamentally indefensible assumption that "long long int"
exists and is exactly 64 bits wide on every platform Postgres runs on.
Instead let the configure script select the type to use for "pg_int64".
This is a bit of a pain in the rear since we do not want to pollute client
namespace with all the random symbols that pg_config.h defines; instead
we have to create a separate generated header file, "pg_config_ext.h".
But now that the infrastructure is there, we might have the ability to
add some other stuff that's long been wanting in this area.
The $(or) make function was introduced in GNU make 3.81, so the
previous coding didn't work in 3.80. Write it differently, and
improve the variable naming to make more sense in the new coding.
configure handles INSTALL as a substitution variable specially, and
apparently it gets confused when it's set to empty. Use INSTALL_
instead as a workaround to avoid the issue.
In a3176dac22 we switched to using
install-sh unconditionally, because the configure check
AC_PROG_INSTALL would pick up any random program named install, which
has caused failure reports
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-03/msg00312.php).
Now the configure check is much improved and should avoid false
positives. It has also been shown that using a system install program
can significantly reduce "make install" times, so it's worth trying.
According to the Autoconf documentation, there should be a make rule
pg_config.h: stamp-h
so that with the right setup around this, a change in pg_config.h.in
will trigger a rebuild of everything that depends on pg_config.h. But
this doesn't always work, sometimes you need to run make twice to get
everything up to date after a change of pg_config.h.in.
The fix is to write the rule as
pg_config.h: stamp-h ;
instead (with an empty command instead of no command). This is what
Automake-generated makefiles effectively do, so it seems safe to be on
this side.
It's not actually clear why this is (apparently) more correct. It's
been posted to
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2012-04/msg00058.html>
without response so far.
Further improve on commit c75e143646.
Instead of building both .o files and binaries in the same make rule,
just rely on the normal .c -> .o rule. This will ensure that
dependency tracking is used when enabled. To do this, disable the
implicit direct .c -> binary rule globally, which will also prevent
the original problem (*.dSYM junk) from reappearing elsewhere.
Certain subdirectories do not get built if corresponding options are not
selected at configure time. However, "make distprep" should visit such
directories anyway, so that constructing derived files to be included in
the tarball happens without requiring all configure options to be given
in the tarball build script. Likewise, it's better if cleanup actions
unconditionally visit all directories (for example, this ensures proper
cleanup if someone has done a manual make in such a subdirectory).
To handle this, set up a convention that subdirectories that are
conditionally included in SUBDIRS should be added to ALWAYS_SUBDIRS
instead when they are excluded.
Back-patch to 9.1, so that plpython's spiexceptions.h will get provided
in 9.1 tarballs. There don't appear to be any instances where distprep
actions got missed in previous releases, and anyway this fix requires
gmake 3.80 so we don't want to apply it before 9.1.
Per recommendation from Peter. Neither choice is bulletproof, but this
is the existing style and it does help prevent unexpected environment
variable substitution.
Apparently there is no buildfarm critter exercising this case after all,
because it fails in several places. With this patch, build, install,
check-world, and installcheck-world pass for me on OS X.
This can do various source code checks that are not appropriate for
either the build or the regression tests. Currently: duplicate_oids,
SGML syntax and tabs check, NLS syntax check.
This is still pretty rough - among other things, the documentation
needs work, and the messages need a visit from the style police -
but this gets the basic framework in place.

3.80 breaks if the expansion of $(eval) is long enough to require expansion
of its internal variable_buffer. For the purposes of $(recurse) that means
it'll work so long as no single evaluation of _create_recursive_target
produces more than 195 bytes. We can manage that by looping over
subdirectories outside the call instead of complicating the generated rule.
This coding is simpler and more readable anyway.
Or at least, this works for me. We'll see if the buildfarm likes it.
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.
