Andrew Dunstan dbad1c53e9 Add copyright notices to a few perl scripts that don't have them 2024-01-05 13:15:50 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut c538592959 Make all Perl warnings fatal
There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation
and TAP tests.  Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings.  These
are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make
a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests
when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine
definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a
lot of output in a verbose build.

This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing

    use warnings;

by

    use warnings FATAL => 'all';

in all Perl files.

Michael Paquier 1301c80b21 Remove MSVC scripts
This commit removes all the scripts located in src/tools/msvc/ to build
PostgreSQL with Visual Studio on Windows, meson becoming the recommended
way to achieve that.  The scripts held some information that is still
relevant with meson, information kept and moved to better locations.
Comments that referred directly to the scripts are removed.

All the documentation still relevant that was in install-windows.sgml
has been moved to installation.sgml under a new subsection for Visual.
All the content specific to the scripts is removed.  Some adjustments
for the documentation are planned in a follow-up set of changes.

Peter Eisentraut 721856ff24 Remove distprep
A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation.  We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball.  Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.

Now this has at least two problems:

One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball.  This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make.  It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout.  Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible.  One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree.  So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree.  So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.

Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software.  We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs.  But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.

The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball.  The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*).  Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant.  And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.

This commit removes the make distprep target altogether.  The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.

(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep.  This is unchanged for now.

The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep.  (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)

The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):

- bison
- flex
- perl

Thomas Munro 8d9a9f034e All supported systems have locale_t.
locale_t is defined by POSIX.1-2008 and SUSv4, and available on all
targeted systems.  For Windows, win32_port.h redirects to a partial
implementation called _locale_t.  We can now remove a lot of
compile-time tests for HAVE_LOCALE_T, and associated comments and dead
code branches that were needed for older computers.

Since configure + MinGW builds didn't detect locale_t but now we assume
that all systems have it, further inconsistencies among the 3 Windows build
systems were revealed.  With this commit, we no longer define
HAVE_WCSTOMBS_L and HAVE_MBSTOWCS_L on any Windows build system, but
we have logic to deal with that so that replacements are available where
appropriate.

Tom Lane eab2d3147e Use --strip-unneeded when stripping static libraries with GNU strip.
We've long used "--strip-unneeded" for shared libraries but plain
"-x" for static libraries when stripping symbols with GNU strip.
There doesn't seem to be any really good reason for that though,
since --strip-unneeded produces smaller output (as "-x" alone
does not remove debug symbols).  Moreover it seems that
llvm-strip, although it identifies as GNU strip, misbehaves when
given "-x" for this purpose.  It's unclear whether that's
intentional or a bug in llvm-strip, but in any case it seems like
changing to use --strip-unneeded in all cases should be a win.

Note that this doesn't change our behavior when dealing with
non-GNU strip.

Per gripes from Ed Maste and Palle Girgensohn.  Back-patch,
in case anyone wants to use llvm-strip with stable branches.

Andres Freund 9db49fc5bf autoconf: Move export_dynamic determination to configure
Previously export_dynamic was set in src/makefiles/Makefile.$port. For solaris
this required exporting with_gnu_ld. The determination of with_gnu_ld would be
nontrivial to copy for meson PGXS compatibility.  It's also nice to delete
libtool.m4.

This uses -Wl,--export-dynamic on all platforms, previously all platforms but
FreeBSD used -Wl,-E. The likelihood of a name conflict seems lower with the
longer spelling.

Andres Freund e0f0e08e17 autoconf: Unify CFLAGS_SSE42 and CFLAGS_ARMV8_CRC32C
Until now we emitted the cflags to build the CRC objects into architecture
specific variables. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me - we're never
going to target x86 and arm at the same time, so they don't need to be
separate variables.

It might be better to instead continue to have CFLAGS_SSE42 /
CFLAGS_ARMV8_CRC32C be computed by PGAC_ARMV8_CRC32C_INTRINSICS /
PGAC_SSE42_CRC32_INTRINSICS and then set CFLAGS_CRC based on those. But it
seems unlikely that we'd need other sets of CRC specific flags for those two
architectures at the same time.

This simplifies the upcoming meson PGXS compatibility.

Andres Freund e6927270cd meson: Add initial version of meson based build system
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.

John Naylor 4c1532763a Bump minimum Perl version to 5.14
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.

Remove four probes for members of sockaddr_storage.  Keep only the probe
for sockaddr's sa_len, which is enough for our two remaining places that
know about _len fields:

1.  ifaddr.c needs to know if sockaddr has sa_len to understand the
result of ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF).  Only AIX is still using the relevant code
today, but it seems like a good idea to keep it compilable on Linux.

2.  ip.c was testing for presence of ss_len to decide whether to fill in
sun_len in our getaddrinfo_unix() function.  It's just as good to test
for sa_len.  If you have one, you have them all.

(The code in #2 isn't actually needed at all on several OSes I checked
since modern versions ignore sa_len on input to system calls.  Proving
that's the case for all relevant OSes is left for another day, but
wouldn't get rid of that last probe anyway if we still want it for #1.)

Peter Eisentraut b55f62abb2 Unify DLSUFFIX on Darwin
macOS has traditionally used extension .dylib for shared libraries
(used at build time) and .so for dynamically loaded modules (used by
dlopen()).  This complicates the build system a bit.  Also, Meson uses
.dylib for both, so it would be worth unifying this in order to be
able to get equal build output.

There doesn't appear to be any reason to use any particular extension
for dlopened modules, since dlopen() will accept anything and
PostgreSQL is well-factored to be able to deal with any extension.
Other software packages that I have handy appear to be about 50/50
split on which extension they use for their plugins.  So it seems
possible to change this safely.

GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of

reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug);
but that behavior is intentional here.  We can work around it
by using __builtin_frame_address(0) instead of a specific local
variable; that produces an address a dozen or so bytes different,
in my testing, but we don't care about such a small difference.
Maybe someday a compiler lacking that function will start to issue
a similar warning, but we'll worry about that when it happens.

Python 2.7 went EOL 2020-01-01 and the support for Python 2 requires a fair
bit of infrastructure. Therefore we are removing Python 2 support in plpython.

This patch just rejects Python 2 during configure / mkvcbuild.pl. Future
commits will remove the code and infrastructure for Python 2 support and
adjust more of the documentation. This way we can see the buildfarm state
after the removal sooner and we can be sure that failures are due to
desupporting Python 2, rather than caused by infrastructure cleanup.

Tom Lane 4b0e37faaf Remove configure's check for rl_completion_append_character.
The comment for PGAC_READLINE_VARIABLES says "Readline versions < 2.1
don't have rl_completion_append_character".  It seems certain that such
versions are extinct in the wild, though; for sure there are none in the
buildfarm.  Libedit has had this variable for at least twenty years too.
Also, tab-complete.c's behavior without it is quite unfriendly, since
we'll emit a space even when completion fails; but we've had no
complaints about that.

Therefore, let's assume this variable is always there, and drop the
configure check to save a few build cycles.

Tom Lane bd233bdd8d Replace use of deprecated Python module distutils.sysconfig, take 2.
With Python 3.10, configure spits out warnings about the module
distutils.sysconfig being deprecated and scheduled for removal in
Python 3.12.  Change the uses in configure to use the module sysconfig
instead.  The logic stays largely the same, although we have to
rely on INCLUDEPY instead of the deprecated get_python_inc function.

Note that sysconfig exists since Python 2.7, so this moves the minimum
required version up from Python 2.6.  Also, sysconfig didn't exist in
Python 3.1, so the minimum 3.x version is now 3.2.

We should consider back-patching this if it gives no further trouble,
as the no-longer-supported versions are old enough to probably not
be interesting to anyone.

Andres Freund f032f63e72 Temporarily add some information about python include paths to configure.
We're still (see e0e567a106, e0e567a106) working on replacing use of the
deprecated distutils. This commit just makes configure print out the results
of different ways of determining the include path. Hopefully this will help us
to find a way to transition away from distutils without turning the buildfarm
red for prolonged amounts of time.

This reverts commit f201da39ed.
The buildfarm is not ready for python3, evidently, so we'll
give the owners some more time to get set up.

Tom Lane f201da39ed Make configure prefer python3 to plain python.
This avoids possibly selecting Python 2.x on systems that have
both Python 2 and Python 3.  We used to feel that what "python"
links to is a user choice that we should honor.  However, we're
about to cease support for Python 2, so users will no longer have
any choice of that sort.  This small change is being made ahead
of the big Python-2-ectomy so that we can see how much of the
buildfarm is not yet prepared for that.  Systems with only
Python 2 will continue to build that way, for now.

This reverts commit e0e567a106.

On various platforms, the new approach using the sysconfig module
reported incorrect values for the include directory, and so any
Python-related compilations failed.  Revert for now and revisit later.

Tom Lane c4fe3199a6 Probe $PROVE not $PERL while checking for modules needed by TAP tests.
Normally "prove" and "perl" come from the same Perl installation,
but we support the case where they don't (mainly because the MSys
buildfarm animals need this).  In that case, AX_PROG_PERL_MODULES
is completely the wrong thing to use, because it's checking what
"perl" has.  Instead, make a little TAP test script including the
required modules, and run that under "prove".

We don't need ax_prog_perl_modules.m4 at all after this change,
so remove it.

Back-patch to all supported branches, for the buildfarm's benefit.
(In v10, this also back-patches the effects of commit 264eb03aa.)

Report found versions of required perl modules
Configure tests for the presence of perl modules required for TAP tests,
and that they meet specified minimum version requirements. This patch
makes it report the version of the module that's actually found rather
than just an 'ok' message. This will help in deciding if we can upgrade
minimum requirements for these modules.

Peter Eisentraut ee3a1a5b63 Remove check for accept() argument types
This check was used to accommodate a staggering variety in particular
in the type of the third argument of accept().  This is no longer of
concern on currently supported systems.  We can just use socklen_t in
the code and put in a simple check that substitutes int for socklen_t
if it's missing, to cover the few stragglers.

Tom Lane 92e6a98c36 Adjust configure to insist on Perl version >= 5.8.3.
Previously it only checked for version >= 5.8.0, although the
documentation has said that the minimum version is 5.8.3 since
commit dea6ba939.  Per the discussion leading up to that commit,
I (tgl) left it that way intentionally because you could, at the
time, do some bare-bones stuff with 5.8.0.  But we aren't actually
testing against anything older than 5.8.3, so who knows if that's
still true.  It's pretty unlikely that anyone would care anyway,
so let's just make configure's version check match the docs.

Tom Lane 76fa3db336 Remove configure-time thread safety checking (thread_test.c).
This testing was useful when it was written, nigh twenty years ago,
but it seems fairly pointless for any platform built in the last
dozen or more years.  (Compare also the comments at 8a2121185.)
Also we now have reports that the test program itself fails under
ThreadSanitizer.  Rather than invest effort in fixing it, let's
just drop it, and assume that the few people who still care
already know they need to use --disable-thread-safety.

Back-patch into v14, for consistency with 8a2121185.

Thomas Munro 5865e064ab Portability fixes for sigwait.
Build farm animals running ancient HPUX and Solaris have a non-standard
sigwait() from draft versions of POSIX, so they didn't like commit
7c09d279.  To avoid the problem in general, only try to use sigwait() if
it's declared by <signal.h> and matches the expected declaration.  To
select the modern declaration on Solaris (even in non-threaded
programs), move -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS into the right place to
affect all translation units.

Also fix the error checking.  Modern sigwait() doesn't set errno.

Thanks to Tom Lane for help with this.
