Places that are testing for *printf failure ought to include the format
string in their error reports, since bad-format-string is one of the
more likely causes of such failure. This both makes it easier to find
and repair the mistake, and provides at least some useful info to the
user who stumbles across such a problem.
Also, tighten snprintf.c to report EINVAL for an invalid flag or
final character in a format %-spec (including the case where the
%-spec is missing a final character altogether). This seems like
better project policy, and it also allows removing an instruction
or two from the hot code path.
Back-patch the error reporting change in pvsnprintf, since it should be
harmless and may be helpful; but not the snprintf.c change.
Per discussion of bug #15511 from Ertuğrul Kahveci, which reported an
invalid translated format string. These changes don't fix that error,
but they should improve matters next time we make such a mistake.

When an indexes is created on a partitioned table using ONLY (don't
recurse to partitions), it gets marked invalid until index partitions
are attached for each table partition. But there's no reason to do this
if there are no partitions ... and moreover, there's no way to get the
index to become valid afterwards, because all partitions that get
created/attached get their own index partition already attached to the
parent index, so there's no chance to do ALTER INDEX ... ATTACH PARTITION
that would make the parent index valid.
Fix by not marking the index as invalid to begin with.
This is very similar to 9139aa1942, but the pg_dump aspect does not
appear to be relevant until we add FKs that can point to PKs on
partitioned tables. (I tried to cause the pg_upgrade test to break by
leaving some of these bogus tables around, but wasn't able to.)
Making this change means that an index that was supposed to be invalid
in the insert_conflict regression test is no longer invalid; reorder the
DDL so that the test continues to verify the behavior we want it to.

In commit 7012b132d0, which added aggregate
pushdown to postgres_fdw, we didn't account for the evaluation cost and the
selectivity of HAVING quals attached to ForeignPaths performing aggregate
pushdown, as core had never accounted for that for AggPaths and GroupPaths.
And we didn't set these values of the locally-checked quals (ie, fpinfo's
local_conds_cost and local_conds_sel), which were initialized to zeros, but
since estimate_path_cost_size factors in these to estimate the result size
and the evaluation cost of such a ForeignPath when the use_remote_estimate
option is enabled, this caused it to produce underestimated results in that
case.
By commit 7b6c075471 core was changed so that
it accounts for the evaluation cost and the selectivity of HAVING quals in
aggregation paths, so change the postgres_fdw's aggregate pushdown code as
well as such. This not only fixes the underestimation issue mentioned
above, but improves the estimation using local statistics in that function
when that option is disabled.

Re-making ecpglib's typename.o is dangerous because another make thread
could be doing that at the same time. While we've not heard field
complaints traceable to this, it seems inevitable that it'd bite someone
eventually. Instead, symlink typename.c into the preproc directory and
recompile it there. That file is small enough that compiling it twice
isn't much of a penalty. Furthermore, this way we get a .o file that's
made without shlib CFLAGS, which seems cleaner.
This requires adding more stuff to the module's -I list. The MSVC
aspect of that is untested, but I'm sure the buildfarm will tell me

In at least Apple's version of ranlib, the output file is updated to have
a mod time equal to the max of the timestamps of its components, and that
data only has seconds precision. On a filesystem with sub-second file
timestamp precision --- say, APFS --- this can result in the finished
static library appearing older than its input files, which causes useless
rebuilds and possible outright failures in parallel makes.
We've only seen this reported in the field from people using Apple's
ranlib with a non-Apple make, because Apple's make doesn't know about
sub-second timestamps either so it doesn't decide rebuilds are needed.
But Apple's ranlib presumably shares code with at least some BSDen,
so it's not that unlikely that the same problem could arise elsewhere.
To fix, just "touch" the output file after ranlib finishes.
We seem to need this in only one place. There are other calls of
ranlib in our makefiles, but they are working on intermediate files
whose timestamps are not actually important, or else on an installed
static library for which sub-second timestamp precision is unlikely
to matter either. (Also, so far as I can tell, Apple's ranlib doesn't
mess up the file timestamp in the latter usage anyhow.)
In passing, change "ranlib" to "$(RANLIB)" in one place that was
bypassing the make macro for no good reason.

This actually fixes a set of issues with MSVC with modules using

several modules listed a single test, so regressions have been running

Move the responsibility for checking for and reporting a failure from
the only current BufFileSize() caller, logtape.c, to BufFileSize()
itself. Code within buffile.c is generally responsible for interfacing
with fd.c to report irrecoverable failures. This seems like a
convention that's worth sticking to.
Reorganizing things this way makes it easy to make the error message
raised in the event of BufFileSize() failure descriptive of the
underlying problem. We're now clear on the distinction between
temporary file name and BufFile name, and can show errno, confident that
its value actually relates to the error being reported. In passing, an
existing, similar buffile.c ereport() + errcode_for_file_access() site
is changed to follow the same conventions.
The API of the function BufFileSize() is changed by this commit, despite
already being in a stable release (Postgres 11). This seems acceptable,
since the BufFileSize() ABI was changed by commit aa55183042, which
hasn't made it into a point release yet. Besides, it's difficult to
imagine a third party BufFileSize() caller not just raising an error
anyway, since BufFile state should be considered corrupt when
BufFileSize() fails.

During table rewrites (VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER), the main heap is logged
using XLOG / FPI records, and thus (correctly) ignored in decoding.
But the associated TOAST table is WAL-logged as plain INSERT records,
and so was logically decoded and passed to reorder buffer.
That has severe consequences with TOAST tables of non-trivial size.
Firstly, reorder buffer has to keep all those changes, possibly spilling
them to a file, incurring I/O costs and disk space.
Secondly, ReoderBufferCommit() was stashing all those TOAST chunks into
a hash table, which got discarded only after processing the row from the
main heap. But as the main heap is not decoded for rewrites, this never
happened, so all the TOAST data accumulated in memory, resulting either
in excessive memory consumption or OOM.
The fix is simple, as commit e9edc1ba already introduced infrastructure
(namely HEAP_INSERT_NO_LOGICAL flag) to skip logical decoding of TOAST
tables, but it only applied it to system tables. So simply use it for
all TOAST data in raw_heap_insert().
That would however solve only the memory consumption issue - the TOAST
changes would still be decoded and added to the reorder buffer, and
spilled to disk (although without TOAST tuple data, so much smaller).
But we can solve that by tweaking DecodeInsert() to just ignore such
INSERT records altogether, using XLH_INSERT_CONTAINS_NEW_TUPLE flag,
instead of skipping them later in ReorderBufferCommit().

sortDumpableObjectsByTypeName() and sortDumpableObjects(). But large
object data is currently not tracked via that mechanism.
As Tom points out it seems possible that at some point dumpBlobs() was

This output format is directly compatible with the server's COPY CSV
