Patch introduces new text search operator (<-> or <DISTANCE>) into tsquery.
On-disk and binary in/out format of tsquery are backward compatible.
It has two side effect:
- change order for tsquery, so, users, who has a btree index over tsquery,
should reindex it
- less number of parenthesis in tsquery output, and tsquery becomes more
readable

Commits 9ff60273e3 and dbe2328959 adjusted the declarations
of some core functions referenced by contrib/tsearch2's install script,
forgetting that in a pg_upgrade situation, we'll be trying to restore
operator class definitions that reference the old signatures. We've
hit this problem before; solve it in the same way as before, namely by
installing stub functions that have the expected signature and just
invoke the correct function. Per report from Jeff Janes.
(Someday we ought to stop supporting contrib/tsearch2, but I'm not
sure today is that day.)
For upcoming BRIN opclasses, it's convenient to have strategy numbers
defined in a single place. Since there's nothing appropriate, create
it. The StrategyNumber typedef now lives there, as well as existing
strategy numbers for B-trees (from skey.h) and R-tree-and-friends (from
gist.h). skey.h is forced to include stratnum.h because of the
StrategyNumber typedef, but gist.h is not; extensions that currently
rely on gist.h for rtree strategy numbers might need to add a new
A few .c files can stop including skey.h and/or gist.h, which is a nice
side benefit.

(It's not clear to me why bootscanner.l has any #include lines at all.)
With the GIN "fast scan" feature, GIN can skip items without fetching all
the keys for them, if it can prove that they don't match regardless of
those keys. So far, it has done the proving by calling the boolean
consistent function with all combinations of TRUE/FALSE for the unfetched
keys, but since that's O(n^2), it becomes unfeasible with more than a few
keys. We can avoid calling consistent with all the combinations, if we can
tell the operator class implementation directly which keys are unknown.
This commit includes a triConsistent function for the built-in array and
tsvector opclasses.
Alexander Korotkov, with some changes by me.
The latter was already the dominant use, and it's preferable because
in C the convention is that intXX means XX bits. Therefore, allowing
mixed use of int2, int4, int8, int16, int32 is obviously confusing.
Remove the typedefs for int2 and int4 for now. They don't seem to be
widely used outside of the PostgreSQL source tree, and the few uses
can probably be cleaned up by the time this ships.
These are needed to support reloading dumps of 9.0 installations containing
contrib/intarray or contrib/tsearch2. Since not only regular dump/reload
but binary upgrade would fail, it seems worth the trouble to carry these
stubs for awhile. Note that the contrib opclasses referencing these
functions will still work fine, since GIN doesn't actually pay any
attention to the declared signature of a support function.
This alters various incidental uses of C++ key words to use other similar
identifiers, so that a C++ compiler won't choke outright. You still
(probably) need extern "C" { }; around the inclusion of backend headers.

Also add a script cpluspluscheck to check for C++ compatibility in the
future. As of right now, this passes without error for me.
method to pass extra data to the consistent() and comparePartial() methods.
This is the core infrastructure needed to support the soon-to-appear
contrib/btree_gin module. The APIs are still upward compatible with the
definitions used in 8.3 and before, although *not* with the previous 8.4devel
function definitions.
catversion bump for changes in pg_proc entries (although these are just
cosmetic, since GIN doesn't actually look at the function signature before
calling it...)

"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes. In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.

strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

inappropriately generic-sounding names. This is more or less free since
we already forced initdb for the next beta, and it may prevent confusion or
name conflicts (particularly at the C-global-symbol level) down the road.
Per my proposal yesterday.
* Defined new struct WordEntryPosVector that holds a uint16 length and a
variable size array of WordEntries. This replaces the previous
convention of a variable size uint16 array, with the first element
implying the length. WordEntryPosVector has the same layout in memory,
but is more readable in source code. The POSDATAPTR and POSDATALEN
macros are still used, though it would now be more readable to access
the fields in WordEntryPosVector directly.
* Removed needfree field from DocRepresentation. It was always set to false.
* Miscellaneous other commenting and refactoring
- change the alignment requirement of lexemes in TSVector slightly.
Lexeme strings were always padded to 2-byte aligned length to make sure
that if there's position array (uint16[]) it has the right alignment.
The patch changes that so that the padding is not done when there's no
positions. That makes the storage of tsvectors without positions
slightly more compact.
- added some #include "miscadmin.h" lines I missed in the earlier when I
added calls to check_stack_depth().
- Reimplement the send/recv functions, and added a comment
above them describing the on-wire format. The CRC is now recalculated in
tsquery as well per previous discussion.
small editorization by me
- Brake the QueryItem struct into QueryOperator and QueryOperand.
Type was really the only common field between them. QueryItem still
exists, and is used in the TSQuery struct as before, but it's now a
union of the two. Many other changes fell from that, like separation
of pushval_asis function into pushValue, pushOperator and pushStop.
- Moved some structs that were for internal use only from header files
to the right .c-files.
- Moved tsvector parser to a new tsvector_parser.c file. Parser code was
about half of the size of tsvector.c, it's also used from tsquery.c, and
it has some data structures of its own, so it seems better to separate
it. Cleaned up the API so that TSVectorParserState is not accessed from
outside tsvector_parser.c.
- Separated enumerations (#defines, really) used for QueryItem.type
field and as return codes from gettoken_query. It was just accidental
code sharing.
- Removed ParseQueryNode struct used internally by makepol and friends.
push*-functions now construct QueryItems directly.
- Changed int4 variables to just ints for variables like "i" or "array
size", where the storage-size was not significant.
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.
Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.
