stdint.h belongs to the compiler (as opposed to inttypes.h), so by
requiring a C99 compiler we can also require stdint.h
unconditionally. Remove configure checks and other workarounds for
it.
This also removes a few steps in the required portability adjustments
to the imported time zone code, which can be applied on the next
import.
When using GCC on a platform that is otherwise pre-C99, this will now
require at least GCC 4.5, which is the first release that supplied a
standard-conforming stdint.h if the native platform didn't have it.

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.

IANA tzcode release 2019b adds an option that tells zic not to emit
the old 32-bit section of the timezone files, and to skip some other
space-wasting hacks needed for compatibility with old timezone client
libraries. Since we only expect our own code to use the timezone data
we install, and our code is up-to-date with 2019b, there's no apparent
reason not to generate the smallest possible files.
Unfortunately, while the individual zone files do get significantly
smaller in many cases, they were not that big to begin with; which
means that no real space savings ensues on filesystems that don't
optimize small files. (For instance, on ext4 with 4K block size,
"du" says the installed timezone tree is the same size as before.)
Still, it seems worth making the change, if only because this is
presumably the wave of the future. At the very least, we'll save
some cycles while reading a zone file.
But given the marginal value and the fact that this is a new code
path, it doesn't seem worth the risk of back-patching this change
into stable branches. Hence, unlike most of our timezone-related
changes, apply to HEAD only.

pg_timezone_names() tries to avoid showing the "Factory" zone in
the view, mainly because that has traditionally had a very long
"abbreviation" such as "Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page",
so that showing it messes up psql's formatting of the whole view.
Since tzdb version 2016g, IANA instead uses the abbreviation "-00",
which is sane enough that there's no reason to discriminate against it.
On the other hand, it emerges that FreeBSD and possibly other packagers
are so wedded to backwards compatibility that they hack the IANA data
to keep the old spelling --- and not just that old spelling, but even
older spellings that IANA used back in the stone age. This caused the
filter logic to fail to suppress "Factory" at all on such platforms,
though the formatting problem is definitely real in that case.
To solve both problems, get rid of the hard-wired assumption about
exactly what Factory's abbreviation is, and instead reject abbreviations
exceeding 31 characters. This will allow Factory to appear in the view
if and only if it's using the modern abbreviation.
In passing, simplify the code we add to zic.c to support "zic -P"
to remove its now-obsolete hacks to not print the Factory zone's
abbreviation. Unlike pg_timezone_names(), there's no reason for
that code to support old/nonstandard timezone data.
Since we generally prefer to keep timezone-related behavior the
same in all branches, and since this is arguably a bug fix,
back-patch to all supported branches.

Absorb commit e5e04c962a5d12eebbf867ca25905b3ccc34cbe0 from upstream
IANA code, in hopes of silencing warnings from MSVC about negating
a bool value.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20190719035347.GJ1859@paquier.xyz
A large fraction of this diff is just due to upstream's somewhat
random decision to rename a bunch of internal variables and struct
fields. However, there is an interesting new feature in zic:
it's grown a "-b slim" option that emits zone files without 32-bit
data and other backwards-compatibility hacks. We should consider
whether we wish to enable that.
This corrects a small bug in zic that caused it to output an incorrect
year-2440 transition in the Africa/Casablanca zone.
More interestingly, zic has grown a "-r" option that limits the range of
zone transitions that it will put into the output files. That might be
useful to people who don't like the weird GMT offsets that tzdb likes
to use for very old dates. It appears that for dates before the cutoff
time specified with -r, zic will use the zone's standard-time offset
as of the cutoff time. So for example one might do
make install ZIC_OPTIONS='-r @-1893456000'
to cause all dates before 1910-01-01 to be treated as though 1910
standard time prevailed indefinitely far back. (Don't blame me for
the unfriendly way of specifying the cutoff time --- it's seconds
since or before the Unix epoch. You can use extract(epoch ...)
to calculate it.)
As usual, back-patch to all supported branches.

This patch absorbs an upstream fix to "zic" for a recently-introduced
bug that made it output data that some 32-bit clients couldn't read.
Given the current source data, the bug only manifests in zones with
leap seconds, which we don't generate, so that there's no actual
change in our installed timezone data files from this. Still, in
case somebody uses our copy of "zic" to do something else, it seems
best to apply the fix promptly.
Also, update the README's notes about converting upstream code to
our conventions.
About half of this is purely cosmetic changes to reduce the diff between
our code and theirs, like inserting "const" markers where they have them.
The other half is tracking actual code changes in zic.c and localtime.c.
I don't think any of these represent near-term compatibility hazards, but
it seems best to stay up to date.
I also fixed longstanding bugs in our code for producing the
known_abbrevs.txt list, which by chance hadn't been exposed before,
but which resulted in some garbage output after applying the upstream
changes in zic.c. Notably, because upstream removed their old phony
transitions at the Big Bang, it's now necessary to cope with TZif files
containing no DST transition times at all.
DST law changes in Chile, Fiji, and Russia (Volgograd).
Historical corrections for China, Japan, Macau, and North Korea.
Note: like the previous tzdata update, this involves a depressingly
large amount of semantically-meaningless churn in tzdata.zi. That
is a consequence of upstream's data compression method assigning
unstable abbreviations to DST rulesets. I complained about that
to them last time, and this version now uses an assignment method
that pays some heed to not changing abbreviations unnecessarily.
So hopefully, that'll be better going forward.
In the IANA timezone code, tzparse() always tries to load the zone
file named by TZDEFRULES ("posixrules"). Previously, we'd hacked
that logic to skip the load in the "lastditch" code path, which we use
only to initialize the default "GMT" zone during GUC initialization.
That's critical for a couple of reasons: since we do not support leap
seconds, we *must not* allow "GMT" to have leap seconds, and since this
case runs before the GUC subsystem is fully alive, we'd really rather
not take the risk of pg_open_tzfile throwing any errors.
However, that still left the code reading TZDEFRULES on every other
call, something we'd noticed to the extent of having added code to cache
the result so it was only done once per process not a lot of times.
Andres Freund complained about the static data space used up for the
cache; but as long as the logic was like this, there was no point in
trying to get rid of that space.
We can improve matters by looking a bit more closely at what the IANA
code actually needs the TZDEFRULES data for. One thing it does is
that if "posixrules" is a leap-second-aware zone, the leap-second
behavior will be absorbed into every POSIX-style zone specification.
However, that's a behavior we'd really prefer to do without, since
for our purposes the end effect is to render every POSIX-style zone
name unsupported. Otherwise, the TZDEFRULES data is used only if
the POSIX zone name specifies DST but doesn't include a transition
date rule (e.g., "EST5EDT" rather than "EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0").
That is a minority case for our purposes --- in particular, it
never happens when tzload() invokes tzparse() to interpret a
transition date rule string found in a tzdata zone file.
Hence, if we legislate that we're going to ignore leap-second data
from "posixrules", we can postpone the TZDEFRULES load into the path
where we actually need to substitute for a missing date rule string.
That means it will never happen at all in common scenarios, making it
reasonable to dynamically allocate the cache space when it does happen.
Even when the data is already loaded, this saves some cycles in the
common code path since we avoid a memcpy of 23KB or so. And, IMO at
least, this is a less ugly hack on the IANA logic than what we had
before, since it's not messing with the lastditch-vs-regular code paths.
Back-patch to all supported branches, not so much because this is a
critical change as that I want to keep all our copies of the IANA
timezone code in sync.

localtime.c's "struct state" is a rather large object, ~23KB. We were
statically allocating one for gmtsub() to use to represent the GMT
timezone, even though that function is not at all heavily used and is
never reached in most backends. Let's malloc it on-demand, instead.
This does pose the question of how to handle a malloc failure, but
there's already a well-defined error report convention here, ie
set errno and return NULL.
We have but one caller of pg_gmtime in HEAD, and two in back branches,
neither of which were troubling to check for error. Make them do so.
The possible errors are sufficiently unlikely (out-of-range timestamp,
and now malloc failure) that I think elog() is adequate.
Back-patch to all supported branches to keep our copies of the IANA
timezone code in sync. This particular change is in a stanza that
already differs from upstream, so it's a wash for maintenance purposes

DST law changes in North Korea. Redefinition of "daylight savings" in
Ireland, as well as for some past years in Namibia and Czechoslovakia.
Additional historical corrections for Czechoslovakia.
With this change, the IANA database models Irish timekeeping as following
"standard time" in summer, and "daylight savings" in winter, so that the
daylight savings offset is one hour behind standard time not one hour
ahead. This does not change their UTC offset (+1:00 in summer, 0:00 in
winter) nor their timezone abbreviations (IST in summer, GMT in winter),
though now "IST" is more correctly read as "Irish Standard Time" not "Irish
Summer Time". However, the "is_dst" column in the pg_timezone_names view
will now be true in winter and false in summer for the Europe/Dublin zone.
Similar changes were made for Namibia between 1994 and 2017, and for
Czechoslovakia between 1946 and 1947.
So far as I can find, no Postgres internal logic cares about which way
tm_isdst is reported; in particular, since commit b2cbced9e we do not
rely on it to decide how to interpret ambiguous timestamps during DST
transitions. So I don't think this change will affect any Postgres
behavior other than the timezone-view outputs.

The non-cosmetic changes involve teaching the "zic" tzdata compiler about
negative DST. While I'm not currently intending that we start using
negative-DST data right away, it seems possible that somebody would try

out in front of this change code-wise, even though it doesn't matter for

DST law changes in Brazil, Sao Tome and Principe. Historical corrections
for Bolivia, Japan, and South Sudan. The "US/Pacific-New" zone has been

This patch fixes a couple of low-probability bugs that could lead to
reporting an irrelevant errno value (and hence possibly a wrong SQLSTATE)
concerning directory-open or file-open failures. It also fixes places
where we took shortcuts in reporting such errors, either by using elog
instead of ereport or by using ereport but forgetting to specify an
errcode. And it eliminates a lot of just plain redundant error-handling
code.
In service of all this, export fd.c's formerly-static function
ReadDirExtended, so that external callers can make use of the coding
pattern
dir = AllocateDir(path);
while ((de = ReadDirExtended(dir, path, LOG)) != NULL)
if they'd like to treat directory-open failures as mere LOG conditions
rather than errors. Also fix FreeDir to be a no-op if we reach it
with dir == NULL, as such a coding pattern would cause.
Then, remove code at many call sites that was throwing an error or log
message for AllocateDir failure, as ReadDir or ReadDirExtended can handle
that job just fine. Aside from being a net code savings, this gets rid of
a lot of not-quite-up-to-snuff reports, as mentioned above. (In some
places these changes result in replacing a custom error message such as
"could not open tablespace directory" with more generic wording "could not
open directory", but it was agreed that the custom wording buys little as
long as we report the directory name.) In some other call sites where we
can't just remove code, change the error reports to be fully
project-style-compliant.
Also reorder code in restoreTwoPhaseData that was acquiring a lock
between AllocateDir and ReadDir; in the unlikely but surely not
impossible case that LWLockAcquire changes errno, AllocateDir failures
would be misreported. There is no great value in opening the directory
before acquiring TwoPhaseStateLock, so just do it in the other order.
Also fix CheckXLogRemoved to guarantee that it preserves errno,
as quite a number of call sites are implicitly assuming. (Again,
it's unlikely but I think not impossible that errno could change
during a SpinLockAcquire. If so, this function was broken for its
own purposes as well as breaking callers.)
And change a few places that were using not-per-project-style messages,
such as "could not read directory" when "could not open directory" is
more correct.
Back-patch the exporting of ReadDirExtended, in case we have occasion
to back-patch some fix that makes use of it; it's not needed right now
but surely making it global is pretty harmless. Also back-patch the
restoreTwoPhaseData and CheckXLogRemoved fixes. The rest of this is
essentially cosmetic and need not get back-patched.

Traditionally IANA has distributed their timezone data in pure source
form, replete with extensive historical comments. As of release 2017c,

source, even before considering its allegedly better compressibility.

It corresponds to commit 2d8b944c1cec0808ac4f7a9ee1a463c28f9cd00a
in https://github.com/eggert/tz. Non-cosmetic changes include:
TZDEFRULESTRING is updated to match current US DST practice,
rather than what it was over ten years ago. This only matters
for interpretation of POSIX-style zone names (e.g., "EST5EDT"),
and only if the timezone database doesn't include either an exact
match for the zone name or a "posixrules" entry. The latter
should not be true in any current Postgres installation, but
this could possibly matter when using --with-system-tzdata.
Get rid of a nonportable use of "++var" on a bool var.
This is part of a larger fix that eliminates some vestigial
support for consecutive leap seconds, and adds checks to
the "zic" compiler that the data files do not specify that.
Remove a couple of ancient compatibility hacks. The IANA
crew think these are obsolete, and I tend to agree. But
perhaps our buildfarm will think different.

Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.

The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:
* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
than the expected column 33.
On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.
There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

tzparse() would attempt to load the "posixrules" timezone database file on
each call. That might seem like it would only be an issue when selecting a
POSIX-style zone name rather than a zone defined in the timezone database,
but it turns out that each zone definition file contains a POSIX-style zone
string and tzload() will call tzparse() to parse that. Thus, when scanning
the whole timezone file tree as we do in the pg_timezone_names view,
"posixrules" was read repetitively for each zone definition file. Fix
that by caching the file on first use within any given process. (We cache
other zone definitions for the life of the process, so there seems little
reason not to cache this one as well.) This probably won't help much in
processes that never run pg_timezone_names, but even one additional SET
of the timezone GUC would come out ahead.
An even worse problem for pg_timezone_names is that pg_open_tzfile()
has an inefficient way of identifying the canonical case of a zone name:
it basically re-descends the directory tree to the zone file. That's not
awful for an individual "SET timezone" operation, but it's pretty horrid
when we're inspecting every zone in the database. And it's pointless too
because we already know the canonical spelling, having just read it from
the filesystem. Fix by teaching pg_open_tzfile() to avoid the directory
search if it's not asked for the canonical name, and backfilling the
proper result in pg_tzenumerate_next().
In combination these changes seem to make the pg_timezone_names view
about 3x faster to read, for me. Since a scan of pg_timezone_names
has up to now been one of the slowest queries in the regression tests,
this should help some little bit for buildfarm cycle times.
Back-patch to all supported branches, not so much because it's likely
that users will care much about the view's performance as because
tracking changes in the upstream IANA timezone code is really painful
if we don't keep all the branches in sync.

rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files
deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this
globally, only in files I was touching anyway.)
I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism,
but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.
