Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

These functions were missed by recent commits because they were obscured

expression_tree_walker and allied functions have traditionally
declared their callback functions as, say, "bool (*walker) ()"
to allow for variation in the declared types of the callback
functions' context argument. This is apparently going to be
forbidden by the next version of the C standard, and the latest
version of clang warns about that. In any case it's always
been pretty poor for error-detection purposes, so fixing it is
a good thing to do.
What we want to do is change the callback argument declarations to
be like "bool (*walker) (Node *node, void *context)", which is
correct so far as expression_tree_walker and friends are concerned,
but not change the actual callback functions. Strict compliance with
the C standard would require changing them to declare their arguments
as "void *context" and then cast to the appropriate context struct
type internally. That'd be very invasive and it would also introduce
a bunch of opportunities for future bugs, since we'd no longer have
any check that the correct sort of context object is passed by outside
callers or internal recursion cases. Therefore, we're just going
to ignore the standard's position that "void *" isn't necessarily
compatible with struct pointers. No machine built in the last forty
or so years actually behaves that way, so it's not worth introducing
bug hazards for compatibility with long-dead hardware.
Therefore, to silence these compiler warnings, introduce a layer of
macro wrappers that cast the supplied function name to the official
argument type. Thanks to our use of -Wcast-function-type, this will
still produce a warning if the supplied function is seriously
incompatible with the required signature, without going as far as
the official spec restriction does.
This method fixes the problem without any need for source code changes
outside nodeFuncs.h/.c. However, it is an ABI break because the
physically called functions now have names ending in "_impl". Hence
we can only fix it this way in HEAD. In the back branches, we'll have
to settle for disabling -Wdeprecated-non-prototype.

clang 15+ will issue a set-but-not-used warning when the only
use of a variable is in autoincrements (e.g., "foo++;").
That's perfectly sensible, but it detects a few more cases that
we'd not noticed before. Silence the warnings with our usual

actually removing a useless variable.
One thing that we can't nicely get rid of is that with %pure-parser,
Bison emits "yynerrs" as a local variable that falls foul of this
warning. To silence those, I inserted "(void) yynerrs;" in the
top-level productions of affected grammars.

This is motivated by the meson patchset, which wants to put the log / data for

tap tests have to be inside $TESTDIR/tmp_check, whereas log files for
pg_regress/isolationtester are outside of tmp_check. This change doesn't fix
the latter, but is a prerequisite.
The only test that needs adjustment is 010_tab_completion.pl, as it hardcoded
the tmp_check/ directory. Instead create a dedicated directory for the test
files. It's also a bit cleaner independently, because it doesn't intermingle
the test files with more important things like the log/ directory.

The header comment for get_cheapest_group_keys_order() claimed that the
output arguments were set to a newly allocated list which may be freed by
the calling function, however, this was not always true as the function
would simply leave these arguments untouched in some cases.
This tripped me up when working on 1349d2790 as I mistakenly assumed I
could perform a list_concat with the output parameters. That turned out
bad due to list_concat modifying the original input lists.
In passing, make it more clear that the number of distinct values is

If role A is a direct or indirect member of role B but does not inherit
B's privileges (because at least one relevant grant was created WITH
INHERIT FALSE) then A should not be permitted to bypass privilege
checks that require the privileges of B. For example, A can't change
the privileges of objects owned by B, nor can A drop those objects.
However, up until now, it's been possible for A to change default
privileges for role B. That doesn't seem to be correct, because a
non-inherited role grant is only supposed to permit you to assume
the identity of the granted role via SET ROLE, and should not
otherwise permit you to exercise the privileges of that role. Most
places followed that rule, but this case was an exception.
This could be construed as a security vulnerability, but it does not
seem entirely clear cut, since older branches were fuzzy about the
distinction between is_member_of_role() and has_privs_of_role() in
a number of other ways as well. Because of this, and because
user-visible behavior changes in minor releases are to be avoided
whenever possible, no back-patch.

Normally when we use object-oriented programming techniques, we
provide a pointer to an object and then some way of looking up the
associated table of callbacks, but walmethods.c/h took the alternative
approach of providing only a pointer to the table of callbacks and
thus imposed the artificial restriction that there could only ever be
one object of each type, so that the callbacks could find it via a
global variable. That doesn't seem like the right idea, so revise the
approach.
Each callback which does not already have an argument of type
Walfile * now takes a pointer to the relevant WalWriteMethod *
so that these callbacks need not rely on there being only one
object of each type.
Freeing a WalWriteMethod is now performed via a callback provided
for that purpose rather than requiring the caller to know which
WAL method they want to free.

The API contract for planstate_tree_walker() callbacks is that they
take a PlanState pointer and a context pointer. Somebody figured
they could save a couple lines of code by ignoring that, and passing
ExecShutdownNode itself as the walker even though it has but one
argument. Somewhat remarkably, we've gotten away with that so far.
However, it seems clear that the upcoming C2x standard means to
forbid such cases, and compilers that actively break such code
likely won't be far behind. So spend the extra few lines of code
to do it honestly with a separate walker function.
In HEAD, we might as well go further and remove ExecShutdownNode's

This makes the curent file position and pathname visible in a generic
way, so we no longer need current_walfile_name global variable or the
get_current_pos() method. Since that purported to be able to fail but
never actually did, this also lets us get rid of some unnecessary
error-handling code.
One risk of this change is that the get_current_pos() method
previously cleared the error indicator, and that will no longer happen
with the new approach. I looked for a way that this could cause problems
and did not find one.
The previous code was confused about whether "Walfile" was the
implementation-dependent structure representing a WAL file or
whether it was a pointer to that stucture. Some of the code used it
one way, and some in the other. The compiler tolerated that because
void * is interchangeable with void **, but now that Walfile is a
struct, it's necessary to be consistent. Hence, some references to
"Walfile" have been converted to "Walfile *".

We're so used to having the compiler check this stuff for us that

Back-patch to v14 where this code came in.
Commit 31dcfae83 changed one pg_resetwal output string, and a
corresponding test in pg_upgrade, without sufficient thought for
the consequences. We can't change that output without creating
hazards for cross-version upgrades, since pg_upgrade needs to be able
to read the output of several different versions of pg_resetwal.
There may well be external tools with the same requirement.
For the moment, just revert those two changes. What we really
ought to do here is have a separate, stable, easily machine-readable
output format for pg_resetwal and pg_controldata, as proposed
years ago by Alvaro. Once that's in place and tools no longer
need to depend on the exact spelling of the human-readable output,
we can put back this change.

In pg_receivewal, compressed output is only flushed on clean exits. The
reason to support SIGTERM as well as SIGINT (which is currently handled)
is that pg_receivewal might well be running as a daemon, and systemd's
default KillSignal is SIGTERM.
Since pg_recvlogical is also supposed to run as a daemon, teach it about
SIGTERM as well and update the documentation to match. While in there,
change pg_receivewal's time_to_stop to be sig_atomic_t like it is in
pg_recvlogical.

The oldest vendor-shipped Perl in the buildfarm is 5.14.2, which is
the last version that Debian Wheezy shipped. That OS is EOL, but we
keep it running because there is no other convenient way to test certain
non-mainstream 32-bit platforms. There is no bugfix in the 5.14.2 release
that is required, and yet it's also not the latest minor release --
that would be 5.14.4. To clarify the situation, we have thus arranged the
buildfarm to test 5.14.0. That allows configure scripts and documentation
to state 5.14 without fine print.
The MSVC build didn't check the version, since our previous minimum 5.8.3
was considered too old to check for on Windows. We will need a check for
Windows sometime during the v16 cycle, but that could be rendered moot
by the impending Meson conversion, so it seems safe to just document
the requirement for now.

PG_COMPRESSION_OPTION_LEVEL is removed from the compression
specification logic, and instead the compression level is always
assigned with each library's default if nothing is directly given. This
centralizes the checks on the compression methods supported by a given
build, and always assigns a default compression level when parsing a
compression specification. This results in complaining at an earlier
stage than previously if a build supports a compression method or not,
aka when parsing a specification in the backend or the frontend, and not
when processing it. zstd, lz4 and zlib are able to handle in their
respective routines setting up the compression level the case of a
default value, hence the backend or frontend code (pg_receivewal or
pg_basebackup) has now no need to know what the default compression
level should be if nothing is specified: the logic is now done so as the
specification parsing assigns it. It can also be enforced by passing
down a "level" set to the default value, that the backend will accept
(the replication protocol is for example able to handle a command like
BASE_BACKUP (COMPRESSION_DETAIL 'gzip:level=-1')).
This code simplification fixes an issue with pg_basebackup --gzip
introduced by ffd5365, where the tarball of the streamed WAL segments
would be created as of pg_wal.tar.gz with uncompressed contents, while
the intention is to compress the segments with gzip at a default level.
The origin of the confusion comes from the handling of the default
compression level of gzip (-1 or Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION) and the value of
0 was getting assigned, which is what walmethods.c would consider
as equivalent to no compression when streaming WAL segments with its tar
methods. Assigning always the compression level removes the confusion
of some code paths considering a value of 0 set in a specification as
either no compression or a default compression level.
Note that 010_pg_basebackup.pl has to be adjusted to skip a few tests
where the shape of the compression detail string for client and
server-side compression was checked using gzip. This is a result of the
code simplification, as gzip specifications cannot be used if a build
does not support it.

guc.c has grown to be one of our largest .c files, making it
a bottleneck for compilation. It's also acquired a bunch of
knowledge that'd be better kept elsewhere, because of our not
very good habit of putting variable-specific check hooks here.
Hence, split it up along these lines:
* guc.c itself retains just the core GUC housekeeping mechanisms.
* New file guc_funcs.c contains the SET/SHOW interfaces and some
SQL-accessible functions for GUC manipulation.
* New file guc_tables.c contains the data arrays that define the
built-in GUC variables, along with some already-exported constant
tables.
* GUC check/assign/show hook functions are moved to the variable's
home module, whenever that's clearly identifiable. A few hard-
to-classify hooks ended up in commands/variable.c, which was
already a home for miscellaneous GUC hook functions.
To avoid cluttering a lot more header files with #include "guc.h",
I also invented a new header file utils/guc_hooks.h and put all
the GUC hook functions' declarations there, regardless of their
originating module. That allowed removal of #include "guc.h"
from some existing headers. The fallout from that (hopefully
all caught here) demonstrates clearly why such inclusions are
best minimized: there are a lot of files that, for example,
were getting array.h at two or more levels of remove, despite
not having any connection at all to GUCs in themselves.
There is some very minor code beautification here, such as
renaming a couple of inconsistently-named hook functions
and improving some comments. But mostly this just moves
code from point A to point B and deals with the ensuing
needs for #include adjustments and exporting a few functions
that previously weren't exported.
Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund; thanks also
to Michael Paquier for the idea to invent guc_funcs.c.

Commit 3a0e385048 introduced a new path for unauthenticated bytes from
the client certificate to be printed unescaped to the logs. There are a
handful of these already, but it doesn't make sense to keep making the
problem worse. \x-escape any unprintable bytes.
The test case introduces a revoked UTF-8 certificate. This requires the
addition of the `-utf8` flag to `openssl req`. Since the existing
certificates all use an ASCII subset, this won't modify the existing
certificates' subjects if/when they get regenerated; this was verified
experimentally with
$ make sslfiles-clean
$ make sslfiles
Unfortunately the test can't be run in the CI yet due to a test timing
issue; see 55828a6b60.

Locale options can be specified for initdb, createdb, and CREATE
DATABASE. In initdb, it has always been possible to specify --locale
and then some --lc-* option to override a category. CREATE DATABASE
and createdb didn't allow that, requiring either the all-categories
option or only per-category options. In
f2553d4306, this was changed in CREATE
DATABASE (perhaps by accident?) to be more like the initdb behavior,
but createdb still had the old behavior.
Now we change createdb to match the behavior of CREATE DATABASE and

the new behavior, which was not done in the above commit.

The two strings are already a single palloc'd chunk, not freed; there's
no reason to allocate separate copies that have the same lifetime.
This code is only called in short-lived memory contexts (except in some
cases in TopTransactionContext, which is still short-lived enough not to
really matter), and typically only for short arrays, so the memory or
computation saved is likely negligible. However, let's fix it to avoid
leaving a bad example of code to copy. This is the only place I could

Some of these ranges have been missing since v12, but due to lack of

The primary fix here is to fix has_matching_range() so it does not
reference ranges->values[-1] when nranges == 0. Similar problems existed
in AssertCheckRanges() too. It does not look like any of these problems
could lead to a crash as the array in question is at the end of the Ranges

struct. However, let's get rid of these rather unsafe coding practices.
In passing, I (David) adjusted some comments to try to make it more clear

In commit f6c5edb8ab, we started to drop the replication origin slots
before tablesync worker exits to avoid consuming more slots than required.
We were dropping the replication origin in the same transaction where we
were marking the tablesync state as SYNCDONE. Now, if there is any error
after we have dropped the origin but before we commit the containing
transaction, the in-memory state of replication progress won't be rolled
back. Due to this, after the restart, tablesync worker can start streaming
from the wrong location and can apply the already processed transaction.
To fix this, we need to opportunistically drop the origin after marking
the tablesync state as SYNCDONE. Even, if the tablesync worker fails to
remove the replication origin before exit, the apply worker ensures to
clean it up afterward.

When building a shared library without exports.txt, there's no need to call
mkldexport.sh to export all symbols, because all symbols are exported anyway,
and we don't need the export file on the import side (like we do for
