Buildfarm says we get different plans on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms,
probably because of MAXALIGN-related differences in memory-consumption
calculations. Add some dummy WHERE clauses so that the planner estimates
different sizes for the three generate_series() relations; that should
stabilize the choice of join order.
This is needed to allow ORDER BY, DISTINCT, etc to work as expected for
pg_lsn values.
We had previously decided to put this off for 9.5, but in view of commit
eeca4cd35e there's no reason to avoid a
catversion bump for 9.4beta2, and this does make a pretty significant
usability difference for pg_lsn.
Michael Paquier, with fixes from Andres Freund and Tom Lane
Change input function error messages to be more consistent with what is
done elsewhere. Remove a bunch of redundant type casts, so that the
compiler will warn us if we screw up. Don't pass LSNs by value on
platforms where a Datum is only 32 bytes, per buildfarm. Move macros
for packing and unpacking LSNs to pg_lsn.h so that we can include
access/xlogdefs.h, to avoid an unsatisfied dependency on XLogRecPtr.
