When a new base type is created using the old-style procedure of first
creating the input/output functions with "opaque" in place of the base
type, the "opaque" argument/return type is changed to the final base type,
on CREATE TYPE. However, we did not create a pg_depend record when doing
that, so the functions were left not depending on the type.
Fixes bug #14706, reported by Karen Huddleston.

The _equalTableFunc() omission of coltypmods has semantic significance,
but I did not track down resulting user-visible bugs, if any. The other
changes are cosmetic only, affecting order. catversion bump due to
readfuncs.c field order change.
The TAP tests mostly don't work without IPC::Run, and the reason for
the failure is not immediately obvious from the error messages you get.
So teach configure to reject --enable-tap-tests unless IPC::Run exists.
Mostly this just involves adding ax_prog_perl_modules.m4 from the GNU
autoconf archives.
This was discussed last year, but we held off on the theory that we might
be switching to CMake soon. That's evidently not happening for v10,
so let's absorb this now.

We had three occurrences of essentially the same coding pattern
wherein we tried to retrieve a query result from a libpq connection
without blocking. In the case where PQconsumeInput failed (typically
indicating a lost connection), all three loops simply gave up and
returned, forgetting to clear any previously-collected PGresult
object. Since those are malloc'd not palloc'd, the oversight results
in a process-lifespan memory leak.
One instance, in libpqwalreceiver, is of little significance because
the walreceiver process would just quit anyway if its connection fails.
But we might as well fix it.
The other two instances, in postgres_fdw, are somewhat more worrisome
because at least in principle the scenario could be repeated, allowing
the amount of memory leaked to build up to something worth worrying
about. Moreover, in these cases the loops contain CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS
calls, as well as other calls that could potentially elog(ERROR),
providing another way to exit without having cleared the PGresult.
Here we need to add PG_TRY logic similar to what exists in quite a
few other places in postgres_fdw.
Coverity noted the libpqwalreceiver bug; I found the other two cases
by checking all calls of PQconsumeInput.
Back-patch to all supported versions as appropriate (9.2 lacks
postgres_fdw, so this is really quite unexciting for that branch).

It was unsafe to instruct users to start/stop the server after
pg_upgrade was run but before the standby servers were rsync'ed. The

Previously we required every exported transaction to have an xid
assigned. That was used to check that the exporting transaction is
still running, which in turn is needed to guarantee that that
necessary rows haven't been removed in between exporting and importing
the snapshot.
The exported xid caused unnecessary problems with logical decoding,
because slot creation has to wait for all concurrent xid to finish,
which in turn serializes concurrent slot creation. It also
prohibited snapshots to be exported on hot-standby replicas.
Instead export the virtual transactionid, which avoids the unnecessary
serialization and the inability to export snapshots on standbys. This
changes the file name of the exported snapshot, but since we never
documented what that one means, that seems ok.

In a CHECK clause, a null result means true, whereas in a WHERE clause
it means false. predtest.c provided different functions depending on
which set of semantics applied to the predicate being proved, but had
no option to control what a null meant in the clauses provided as
axioms. Add one.
Use that in the partitioning code when figuring out whether the
validation scan on a new partition can be skipped. Rip out the
old logic that attempted (not very successfully) to compensate
for the absence of the necessary support in predtest.c.

The optimized code in 728bd991c3 contains a few invalid locking
sequences. To wit, the original code would try to acquire an lwlock
that it already holds. Avoid this by moving lock acquisitions to
higher-level code, and install appropriate assertions in low-level that
the correct mode is held.

expression_returns_set() used to short-circuit its recursion upon
seeing certain node types, such as DistinctExpr, that it knew the
executor did not support set-valued arguments for. That was never
inherent, though, just a reflection of laziness in execQual.c.
With the new implementation of SRFs there is no reason to think
that any scalar-valued expression node could not have a set-valued
subexpression, except for AggRefs and WindowFuncs where we know there
is a parser check rejecting it. And indeed, the shortcut causes
unexpected failures for cases such as a SRF underneath DistinctExpr,
because the planner stops looking for SRFs too soon.

In commits 2f5c9d9c9 and ab0289651 we invented an abstraction layer
to insulate catalog manipulations from direct heap update calls.
But evidently some patches that hadn't landed in-tree at that point
didn't get the memo completely. Fix a couple of direct calls to
simple_heap_delete to use CatalogTupleDelete instead; these appear
to have been added in commits 7c4f52409 and 7b504eb28. This change is
purely cosmetic ATM, but there's no point in having an abstraction layer
if we allow random code to break it.

When we reimplemented SRFs in commit 69f4b9c85, our initial choice was
to allow the behavior to vary from historical practice in cases where a
SRF call appeared within a conditional-execution construct (currently,
only CASE or COALESCE). But that was controversial to begin with, and
subsequent discussion has resulted in a consensus that it's better to
throw an error instead of executing the query differently from before,
so long as we can provide a reasonably clear error message and a way to
rewrite the query.
Hence, add a parser mechanism to allow detection of such cases during
parse analysis. The mechanism just requires storing, in the ParseState,
a pointer to the set-returning FuncExpr or OpExpr most recently emitted
by parse analysis. Then the parsing functions for CASE and COALESCE can
detect the presence of a SRF in their arguments by noting whether this
pointer changes while analyzing their arguments. Furthermore, if it does,
it provides a suitable error cursor location for the complaint. (This
means that if there's more than one SRF in the arguments, the error will
point at the last one to be analyzed not the first. While connoisseurs of
parsing behavior might find that odd, it's unlikely the average user would
ever notice.)
While at it, we can also provide more specific error messages than before
about some pre-existing restrictions, such as no-SRFs-within-aggregates.
Also, reject at parse time cases where a NULLIF or IS DISTINCT FROM
construct would need to return a set. We've never supported that, but the
restriction is depended on in more subtle ways now, so it seems wise to
detect it at the start.
Also, provide some documentation about how to rewrite a SRF-within-CASE
query using a custom wrapper SRF.
It turns out that the information_schema.user_mapping_options view
contained an instance of exactly the behavior we're now forbidding; but
rewriting it makes it more clear and safer too.
initdb forced because of user_mapping_options change.

looking quite dated.
For the target version, we now automatically substitute the current
major version. The updated example source version should be good for a
couple of years.
Table partitioning, introduced in commit f0e44751d7, added a new
relkind - RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE. Update relation_is_updatable() to
handle it. Specifically, partitioned tables and simple views built on

This affects the SQL-callable functions pg_relation_is_updatable() and
pg_column_is_updatable(), and the views information_schema.views and

Previously, you could write _null_ in a BKI DATA line for a column that's
supposed to be NOT NULL and initdb would let it pass, probably breaking
subsequent accesses to the row. No doubt the original coding overlooked
this simple sanity check because in the beginning we didn't have any way
to mark catalog columns NOT NULL at initdb time.
This will not work on restore, but it will allow dumping out pg_catalog
for research and documentation.

Bug: #14701
ExecInitModifyTable() thought there was a plan per partition, but no,
there's only one. The problem had escaped detection so far because there
would only be visible misbehavior if there were a SubPlan (not an InitPlan)
in the quals being duplicated for each partition. However, valgrind
detected a bogus memory access in test cases added by commit 4f7a95be2,
and investigation of that led to discovery of the bug. The additional
test case added here crashes without the patch.

During pg_upgrade's restore run, all relfilenode choices should be
overridden by commands in the dump script. If we ever find ourselves
choosing a relfilenode in the ordinary way, someone blew it. Likewise for
pg_type OIDs. Since pg_upgrade might well succeed anyway, if there happens
not to be a conflict during the regression test run, we need assertions
here to keep us on the straight and narrow.
We might someday be able to remove the assertion in GetNewRelFileNode,
if pg_upgrade is rewritten to remove its assumption that old and new
relfilenodes always match. But it's hard to see how to get rid of the
pg_type OID constraint, since those OIDs are embedded in user tables
in some cases.
Back-patch as far as 9.5, because of the risk of back-patches breaking
something here even if it works in HEAD. I'd prefer to go back further,
but 9.4 fails both assertions due to get_rel_infos()'s use of a temporary
table. We can't use the later-branch solution of a CTE for compatibility
reasons (cf commit 5d16332e9), and it doesn't seem worth inventing some
other way to do the query. (I did check, by dint of changing the Asserts
to elog(WARNING), that there are no other cases of unwanted OID assignments
during 9.4's regression test run.)

It's not necessary for it to do that, since OWNED BY requires only ordinary
catalog updates and doesn't affect future sequence values. And pg_upgrade
needs to use OWNED BY without having it change the sequence's relfilenode.
Commit 3d79013b9 broke this by making all forms of ALTER SEQUENCE change
the relfilenode; that seems to be the explanation for the hard-to-reproduce
buildfarm failures we've been seeing since then.

The original code only added ICU_CFLAGS to the backend build. But it is
also needed for building external modules that include pg_locale.h. So
add it to the global CPPFLAGS. (This is only relevant if ICU is not in
a compiler default path, so it apparently hasn't bitten many.)
