Per a report from AP, it's not that hard to exhaust the supply of
bitmap pages if you create a table with a hash index and then insert a
few billion rows - and then you start getting errors when you try to
insert additional rows. In the particular case reported by AP,
there's another fix that we can make to improve recycling of overflow
pages, which is another way to avoid the error, but there may be other
cases where this problem happens and that fix won't help. So let's
buy ourselves as much headroom as we can without rearchitecting
anything.
The comments claim that the old limit was 64GB, but it was really
only 32GB, because we didn't use all the bits in the page for bitmap
bits - only the largest power of 2 that could fit after deducting
space for the page header and so forth. Thus, we have 4kB per page
for bitmap bits, not 8kB. The new limit is thus actually 8 times the
old *real* limit but only 4 times the old *purported* limit.
Since this breaks on-disk compatibility, bump HASH_VERSION. We've
already done this earlier in this release cycle, so this doesn't cause
any incremental inconvenience for people using pg_upgrade from
releases prior to v10. However, users who use pg_upgrade to reach
10beta3 or later from 10beta2 or earlier will need to REINDEX any hash
indexes again.

The Perl documentation is very clear that stuff calling libperl should
be built with the compiler switches shown by Perl's $Config{ccflags}.
We'd been ignoring that up to now, and mostly getting away with it,
but recent Perl versions contain ABI compatibility cross-checks that
fail on some builds because of this omission. In particular the
sizeof(PerlInterpreter) can come out different due to some fields being
added or removed; which means we have a live ABI hazard that we'd better
fix rather than continuing to sweep it under the rug.
However, it still seems like a bad idea to just absorb $Config{ccflags}
verbatim. In some environments Perl was built with a different compiler
that doesn't even use the same switch syntax. -D switch syntax is pretty
universal though, and absorbing Perl's -D switches really ought to be
enough to fix the problem.
Furthermore, Perl likes to inject stuff like -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 into $Config{ccflags}, which affect libc ABIs on
platforms where they're relevant. Adopting those seems dangerous too.
It's unclear whether a build wherein Perl and Postgres have different ideas
of sizeof(off_t) etc would work, or whether anyone would care about making
it work. But it's dead certain that having different stdio ABIs in
core Postgres and PL/Perl will not work; we've seen that movie before.
Therefore, let's also ignore -D switches for symbols beginning with
underscore. The symbols that we actually need to import should be the ones
mentioned in perl.h's PL_bincompat_options stanza, and none of those start
with underscore, so this seems likely to work. (If it turns out not to
work everywhere, we could consider intersecting the symbols mentioned in
PL_bincompat_options with the -D switches. But that will be much more
complicated, so let's try this way first.)
This will need to be back-patched, but first let's see what the
buildfarm makes of it.

In Perl builds that define PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, XSUB.h defines macros
that replace a whole lot of basic libc functions with Perl functions.
We can't tolerate that in plperl.c; it breaks at least PG_TRY and
probably other stuff. The core idea of this patch is to include XSUB.h
only in the .xs files where it's really needed, and to move any code
broken by PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS out of the .xs files and into plperl.c.
The reason this hasn't been a problem before is that our build techniques
did not result in PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS appearing as a #define in PL/Perl,
even on some platforms where Perl thinks it is defined. That's about to
change in order to fix a nasty portability issue, so we need this work to
make the code safe for that.
Rather unaccountably, the Perl people chose XSUB.h as the place to provide
the versions of the aTHX/aTHX_ macros that are needed by code that's not
explicitly aware of the MULTIPLICITY API conventions. Hence, just removing
XSUB.h from plperl.c fails miserably. But we can work around that by
defining PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT (which would make the relevant stanza of
XSUB.h a no-op anyway). As explained in perlguts.pod, that means we need
to add a "dTHX" macro call in every C function that calls a Perl API
function. In most of them we just add this at the top; but since the
macro fetches the current Perl interpreter pointer, more care is needed
in functions that switch the active interpreter. Lack of the macro is
easily recognized since it results in bleats about "my_perl" not being
defined.
(A nice side benefit of this is that it significantly reduces the number
of fetches of the current interpreter pointer. On my machine, plperl.so
gets more than 10% smaller, and there's probably some performance win too.
We could reduce the number of fetches still more by decorating the code
with pTHX_/aTHX_ macros to pass the interpreter pointer around, as
explained by perlguts.pod; but that's a task for another day.)
Formatting note: pgindent seems happy to treat "dTHX;" as a declaration
so long as it's the first thing after the left brace, as we'd already
observed with respect to the similar macro "dSP;". If you try to put
it later in a set of declarations, pgindent puts ugly extra space
around it.
Having removed XSUB.h from plperl.c, we need only move the support
functions for spi_return_next and util_elog (both of which use PG_TRY)
out of the .xs files and into plperl.c. This seems sufficient to
avoid the known problems caused by PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, although we
could move more code if additional issues emerge.
This will need to be back-patched, but first let's see what the
buildfarm makes of it.

If the user modifies a view that has CHECK OPTIONs and this gets

normal code path, that was happening properly, but it was not working

pushed to the remote side in that case and we never have an option to
enforce the constraint against individual tuples. Fix by disabling
direct modification when there is a need to enforce CHECK OPTIONs.

Add missing infrastructure for this node type, notably in ruleutils.c where
its lack could demonstrably cause EXPLAIN to fail. Add outfuncs/readfuncs
support. (outfuncs support is useful today for debugging purposes. The
readfuncs support may never be needed, since at present it would only
matter for parallel query and NextValueExpr should never appear in a
parallelizable query; but it seems like a bad idea to have a primnode type
that isn't fully supported here.) Teach planner infrastructure that
NextValueExpr is a volatile, parallel-unsafe, non-leaky expression node
with cost cpu_operator_cost. Given its limited scope of usage, there
*might* be no live bug today from the lack of that knowledge, but it's
certainly going to bite us on the rear someday. Teach pg_stat_statements
about the new node type, too.
While at it, also teach cost_qual_eval() that MinMaxExpr, SQLValueFunction,
XmlExpr, and CoerceToDomain should be charged as cpu_operator_cost.
Failing to do this for SQLValueFunction was an oversight in my commit
0bb51aa96. The others are longer-standing oversights, but no time like the
present to fix them. (In principle, CoerceToDomain could have cost much
higher than this, but it doesn't presently seem worth trying to examine the
domain's constraints here.)
Modify execExprInterp.c to execute NextValueExpr as an out-of-line
function; it seems quite unlikely to me that it's worth insisting that
it be inlined in all expression eval methods. Besides, providing the
out-of-line function doesn't stop anyone from inlining if they want to.
Adjust some places where NextValueExpr support had been inserted with the
aid of a dartboard rather than keeping it in the same order as elsewhere.

Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.

The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:
* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
than the expected column 33.
On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.
There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

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).

Commit 15ce775 changed tuple-routing constraint checking logic.
This affects the expected output for contrib/sepgsql, because
there's no longer LOG entries reporting allowance of int4eq()
execution. Per buildfarm.
Commit f039eaac71, later back-patched
with commit 1b812afb0e, allowed many of
the queries issued by postgres_fdw to fetch remote data to respond to
cancel interrupts in a timely fashion. However, it didn't do anything
about the transaction control commands, which remained
noninterruptible.
Improve the situation by changing do_sql_command() to retrieve query
results using pgfdw_get_result(), which uses the asynchronous
interface to libpq so that it can check for interrupts every time
libpq returns control. Since this might result in a situation
where we can no longer be sure that the remote transaction state
matches the local transaction state, add a facility to force all
levels of the local transaction to abort if we've lost track of
the remote state; without this, an apparently-successful commit of
the local transaction might fail to commit changes made on the
remote side. Also, add a 60-second timeout for queries issue during
transaction abort; if that expires, give up and mark the state of
the connection as unknown. Drop all such connections when we exit
the local transaction. Together, these changes mean that if we're
aborting the local toplevel transaction anyway, we can just drop the
remote connection in lieu of waiting (possibly for a very long time)
for it to complete an abort.
This still leaves quite a bit of room for improvement. PQcancel()
has no asynchronous interface, so if we get stuck sending the cancel
request we'll still hang. Also, PQsetnonblocking() is not used, which
means we could block uninterruptibly when sending a query. There
might be some other optimizations possible as well. Nonetheless,
this allows us to escape a wait for an unresponsive remote server
quickly in many more cases than previously.

get_partition_parent felt that it could simply Assert that systable_getnext
found a tuple. This is unlike any other caller of that function, and it's
unsafe IMO --- in fact, the reason I noticed it was that the Assert failed.
(OK, I was working with known-inconsistent catalog contents, but I wasn't
expecting the DB to fall over quite that violently. The behavior in a
non-assert-enabled build wouldn't be very nice, either.) Fix it to do what
other callers do, namely an actual runtime-test-and-elog.
Also, standardize the wording of elog messages that are complaining about
unexpected failure of systable_getnext. 90% of them say "could not find
tuple for <object>", so make the remainder do likewise. Many of the
holdouts were using the phrasing "cache lookup failed", which is outright
misleading since no catcache search is involved.

NOT NULL constraint on range partitioning columns. This affects the

This seemed like a good idea originally because there's no way to mark
a range partition as accepting NULL, but that now seems more like a
current limitation than something we want to lock down for all time.
For example, there's a proposal to add the notion of a default
partition which accepts all rows not otherwise routed, which directly
conflicts with the idea that a range-partitioned table should never
allow nulls anywhere. So let's change this while we still can, by
putting the NOT NULL test into the partition constraint instead of

Reformat various places in which pgindent will make a mess, and

There is one actual bug fix here: the need-to-enlarge-the-buffer code

in our usage? Or maybe this is just sadly undertested.
Ultra-modern versions of the perl Data::Dumper module have apparently

Backpatch to 9.5 where this feature was introduced.
The snapshot assembly during the creation of logical slots relied
waiting for transactions in xl_running_xacts to end, by checking for
their commit/abort records. Unfortunately, despite locking, it is
possible to see an xl_running_xact record listing transactions as
ready, that have already WAL-logged an commit/abort record, as the
locking just prevents the ProcArray to be adjusted, and the commit
record has to be logged first.
That lead to either delayed or hanging snapshot creation, because
snapbuild.c would wait "forever" to see commit/abort records for some
transactions. That hang resolved only if a xl_running_xacts record
without any running transactions happened to be logged, far from
certain on a busy server.
It's impractical to prevent that via more heavyweight locking, the
likelihood of deadlocks and significantly increased contention would
be too big.
Instead change the initial snapshot creation to be solely based on
tracking the oldest running transaction via
xl_running_xacts->oldestRunningXid - that actually ends up
significantly simplifying the code. That has two disadvantages:
1) Because we cannot fully "trust" the contents of xl_running_xacts,
we cannot use it to build the initial snapshot. Instead we have to
wait twice for all running transactions to finish.
2) Previously a slot, unless the race occurred, could be created when
the all transaction perceived as running based on commit/abort
records, now we have to wait for the next xl_running_xacts record.
To address that, trigger logging new xl_running_xacts record from
within snapbuild.c exactly when necessary.
Unfortunately snabuild.c's SnapBuild is stored on disk, one of the
stupider ideas of a certain Mr Freund, so we can't change it in a
minor release. As this is going to be backpatched, we have to hack
around a bit to keep on-disk compatibility. A later commit will
rejigger that on master.

Backpatch: 9.4-, where logical decoding has been introduced
The mess cleaned up in commit da0759600 is clear evidence that it's a
bug hazard to expect the caller of get_attstatsslot()/free_attstatsslot()
to provide the correct type OID for the array elements in the slot.
Moreover, we weren't even getting any performance benefit from that,
since get_attstatsslot() was extracting the real type OID from the array
anyway. So we ought to get rid of that requirement; indeed, it would
make more sense for get_attstatsslot() to pass back the type OID it found,
in case the caller isn't sure what to expect, which is likely in binary-
compatible-operator cases.
Another problem with the current implementation is that if the stats array
element type is pass-by-reference, we incur a palloc/memcpy/pfree cycle
for each element. That seemed acceptable when the code was written because
we were targeting O(10) array sizes --- but these days, stats arrays are
almost always bigger than that, sometimes much bigger. We can save a
significant number of cycles by doing one palloc/memcpy/pfree of the whole
array. Indeed, in the now-probably-common case where the array is toasted,
that happens anyway so this method is basically free. (Note: although the
catcache code will inline any out-of-line toasted values, it doesn't
decompress them. At the other end of the size range, it doesn't expand
short-header datums either. In either case, DatumGetArrayTypeP would have
to make a copy. We do end up using an extra array copy step if the element
type is pass-by-value and the array length is neither small enough for a
short header nor large enough to have suffered compression. But that
seems like a very acceptable price for winning in pass-by-ref cases.)
Hence, redesign to take these insights into account. While at it,
convert to an API in which we fill a struct rather than passing a bunch
of pointers to individual output arguments. That will make it less
painful if we ever want further expansion of what get_attstatsslot can
pass back.
It's certainly arguable that this is new development and not something to
push post-feature-freeze. However, I view it as primarily bug-proofing
and therefore something that's better to have sooner not later. Since
we aren't quite at beta phase yet, let's put it in.

Per discussion, "location" is a rather vague term that could refer to

as well as yet other terms such as "wal_position". Since we've already

Storing passwords in plaintext hasn't been a good idea for a very long
time, if ever. Now seems like a good time to finally forbid it, since we're
messing with this in PostgreSQL 10 anyway.
Remove the CREATE/ALTER USER UNENCRYPTED PASSSWORD 'foo' syntax, since
storing passwords unencrypted is no longer supported. ENCRYPTED PASSWORD
'foo' is still accepted, but ENCRYPTED is now just a noise-word, it does
the same as just PASSWORD 'foo'.
Likewise, remove the --unencrypted option from createuser, but accept
--encrypted as a no-op for backward compatibility. AFAICS, --encrypted was
a no-op even before this patch, because createuser encrypted the password
before sending it to the server even if --encrypted was not specified. It
added the ENCRYPTED keyword to the SQL command, but since the password was
already in encrypted form, it didn't make any difference. The documentation
was not clear on whether that was intended or not, but it's moot now.
Also, while password_encryption='on' is still accepted as an alias for
'md5', it is now marked as hidden, so that it is not listed as an accepted
value in error hints, for example. That's not directly related to removing
'plain', but it seems better this way.

Objects in an extension are shippable to a foreign server if the

extensions list. But this was not properly considered in some cases

the join would never be pushed down in those cases.
So, the list of extensions needs to be made available in fpinfo of the
relation being considered to be pushed down before any expressions are
assessed for being shippable. Fix foreign_join_ok() to do that for a
join relation.
The code to save FDW options in fpinfo is scattered at multiple places.
Bring all of that together into functions apply_server_options(),
apply_table_options(), and merge_fdw_options().

Standardize on testing a hash index page's type by doing
(opaque->hasho_flag & LH_PAGE_TYPE) == LH_xxx_PAGE
Various places were taking shortcuts like
opaque->hasho_flag & LH_BUCKET_PAGE
which while not actually wrong, is still bad practice because
it encourages use of
opaque->hasho_flag & LH_UNUSED_PAGE
which *is* wrong (LH_UNUSED_PAGE == 0, so the above is constant false).
hash_xlog.c's hash_mask() contained such an incorrect test.
This also ensures that we mask out the additional flag bits that
hasho_flag has accreted since 9.6. pgstattuple's pgstat_hash_page(),
for one, was failing to do that and was thus actively broken.
Also fix assorted comments that hadn't been updated to reflect the
extended usage of hasho_flag, and fix some macros that were testing
just "(hasho_flag & bit)" to use the less dangerous, project-approved
form "((hasho_flag & bit) != 0)".
Coverity found the bug in hash_mask(); I noted the one in
pgstat_hash_page() through code reading.
Commit 9e43e8714 turns out to have been insufficient: not only is it
necessary to track tentative parent links while considering a set of
arc removals, but it's necessary to track tentative flag additions
as well. This is because we always merge arc target states into
arc source states; therefore, when considering a merge of the final
state with some other, it is the other state that will acquire a new
TSTATE_FIN bit. If there's another arc for the same color trigram
that would cause merging of that state with the initial state, we
failed to recognize the problem. The test cases for the prior commit
evidently only exercised situations where a tentative merge with the
initial state occurs before one with the final state. If it goes the
other way around, we'll happily merge the initial and final states,
either producing a broken final graph that would never match anything,
or triggering the Assert added by the prior commit.
It's tempting to consider switching the merge direction when the merge
involves the final state, but I lack the time to analyze that idea in
detail. Instead just keep track of the flag changes that would result
from proposed merges, in the same way that the prior commit tracked
proposed parent links.
Along the way, add some more debugging support, because I'm not entirely
confident that this is the last bug here. And tweak matters so that
the transformed.dot file uses small integers rather than pointer values
to identify states; that makes it more readable if you're just eyeballing
it rather than fooling with Graphviz. And rename a couple of identically
named struct fields to reduce confusion.
Per report from Corey Csuhta. Add a test case based on his example.
(Note: this case does not trigger the bug under 9.3, apparently because
its different measurement of costs causes it to stop merging states before
it hits the failure. I spent some time trying to find a variant that would
fail in 9.3, without success; but I'm sure such cases exist.)
Like the previous patch, back-patch to 9.3 where this code was added.

regexport.c thought it could just ignore LACON arcs, but the correct
behavior is to treat them as satisfiable while consuming zero input
(rather reminiscently of commit 9f1e642d5). Otherwise, the emitted
simplified-NFA representation may contain no paths leading from initial
to final state, which unsurprisingly confuses pg_trgm, as seen in
bug #14623 from Jeff Janes.
Since regexport's output representation has no concept of an arc that
consumes zero input, recurse internally to find the next normal arc(s)
after any LACON transitions. We'd be forced into changing that
representation if a LACON could be the last arc reaching the final
state, but fortunately the regex library never builds NFAs with such
a configuration, so there always is a next normal arc.
Back-patch to 9.3 where this logic was introduced.

Hash indexes can contain both pages which are all-zeroes (i.e.
PageIsNew()) and pages which have been initialized but currently
aren't used. The latter category can happen either when a page
has been reserved but not yet used or when it is used for a time
and then freed. pgstattuple was only prepared to deal with the
pages that are actually-zeroes, which it called zero_pages.
Rename the column to unused_pages (extension version 1.5 is
as-yet-unreleased) and make it count both kinds of unused pages.
Along the way, slightly tidy up the way we test for pages of
various types.

Commit 0bf3ae88a encountered a need to pass the finally chosen remote qual
conditions forward from postgresGetForeignPlan to postgresPlanDirectModify.
It solved that by sticking them into the plan node's fdw_private list,
which in hindsight was a pretty bad idea. In the first place, there's no
use for those qual trees either in EXPLAIN or execution; indeed they could
never safely be used for any post-planning purposes, because they would not
get processed by setrefs.c. So they're just dead weight to carry around in
the finished plan tree, plus being an attractive nuisance for somebody who
might get the idea that they could be used that way. Secondly, because
those qual trees (sometimes) contained RestrictInfos, they created a
plan-transmission hazard for parallel query, which is how come we noticed a
problem. We dealt with that symptom in commit 28b047875, but really a more
straightforward and more efficient fix is to pass the data through in a new
field of struct PgFdwRelationInfo. So do it that way. (There's no need
to revert 28b047875, as it has sufficient reason to live anyway.)

Clauses in the lists retained by postgres_fdw during planning were
sometimes bare boolean clauses, sometimes RestrictInfos, and sometimes
a mixture of the two in the same list. The comment about that situation
didn't come close to telling the full truth, either. Aside from being
confusing, this had a couple of bad practical consequences:
* waste of planning cycles due to inability to cache per-clause selectivity
and cost estimates;
* sometimes, RestrictInfos would sneak into the fdw_private list of a
finished Plan node, causing failures if, for example, we tried to ship
the Plan tree to a parallel worker.
(It may well be that it's a bug in the parallel-query logic that we
would ever try to ship such a plan to a parallel worker, but in any
case this deserves to be cleaned up.)
To fix, rearrange so that clause lists in PgFdwRelationInfo are always
lists of RestrictInfos, and then strip the RestrictInfos at the last
minute when making a Plan node. In passing do a bit of refactoring and
comment cleanup in postgresGetForeignPlan and foreign_join_ok.
Although the messiness here dates back at least to 9.6, there's no evidence
that it causes anything worse than wasted planning cycles in 9.6, so no
back-patch for now.

This extends the castNode() notation introduced by commit 5bcab1114 to
provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to
a concrete node type. For example, "lfirst_node(Foo, lc)" is the same
as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))". Almost half of the uses of castNode
that have appeared so far include a list extraction call, so this is
pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the
old way.
As with the previous patch, back-patch the addition of these macros to
pg_list.h, so that the notation will be available when back-patching.
Patch by me, after an idea of Andrew Gierth's.
