This hack closes a race condition in "make -j check-world" and "make -j
installcheck-world". Back-patch to v10, before which these parallel
invocations had worse problems.

When configured with --enable-tap-tests, "make install" will now install
the Perl support files for TAP testing where PGXS will find them.
This allows extensions to rely on $(prove_check) even when being built
out-of-tree. Back-patch to 9.4 where we first started to support TAP
testing, to reduce the number of cases extension makefiles need to
consider.

Per discussion, we want to create a static library and put the stuff into
it that until now has been shared across src/bin/ directories by ad-hoc
methods like symlinking a source file. This commit creates the library and
populates it with a couple of files that contain the widely-useful portions
of pg_dump's dumputils.c file. dumputils.c survives, because it has some
stuff that didn't seem appropriate for fe_utils, but it's significantly
smaller and is no longer referenced from any other directory.
Follow-on patches will move more stuff into fe_utils.
The Mkvcbuild.pm hacking here is just a best guess; we'll see how the
buildfarm likes it.
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.
Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
At least two recent commits have apparently imagined that a comment in
a Makefile stating that something would be included in the distribution
tarball was sufficient to make it so. They hadn't bothered to hook
into the upper maintainer-clean targets either. Per bug #5923 from
Charles Johnson, in which it emerged that the 9.1alpha4 tarballs are
short a few files that should be there.
This fixes make distprep, and seems more robust in other ways as well.
Some special handling is required because errcodes.txt is needed by
some stuff in src/port, but just by src/backend as is the case for the
other generated headers.
While I'm at it, fix a few other things that were overlooked in the
original patch.
src/pl/plpgsql/src/plerrcodes.h, src/include/utils/errcodes.h, and a
big chunk of errcodes.sgml are now automatically generated from a single
file, src/backend/utils/errcodes.txt.

Add some additional dependencies to constrain the build order to prevent
parallel make from failing. In the case of src/Makefile, this is likely to be
too complicated to be worth maintaining, so just add .NOTPARALLEL to get the
old for-loop-like behavior.
More fine-tuning might be necessary for some platforms or configurations.
Replace for loops in makefiles with proper dependencies. Parallel
make can now span across directories. Also, make -k and make -q work
properly.
GNU make 3.80 or newer is now required.
walreceiver as whole into a dynamically loaded module, split the
libpq-specific parts of it into dynamically loaded module and keep the rest
in the main backend binary.
Although Tom fixed the Windows compilation problems with the old walreceiver
module already, this is a cleaner division of labour and makes the code
more readable. There's also the prospect of adding new transport methods
as pluggable modules in the future, which this patch makes easier, though for
now the API between libpqwalreceiver and walreceiver process should be
considered private.
The libpq-specific module is now in src/backend/replication/libpqwalreceiver,
and the part linked with postgres binary is in
src/backend/replication/walreceiver.c.
This includes two new kinds of postmaster processes, walsenders and
walreceiver. Walreceiver is responsible for connecting to the primary server
and streaming WAL to disk, while walsender runs in the primary server and
streams WAL from disk to the client.
Documentation still needs work, but the basics are there. We will probably
pull the replication section to a new chapter later on, as well as the
sections describing file-based replication. But let's do that as a separate
patch, so that it's easier to see what has been added/changed. This patch
also adds a new section to the chapter about FE/BE protocol, documenting the
protocol used by walsender/walreceivxer.
Bump catalog version because of two new functions,
pg_last_xlog_receive_location() and pg_last_xlog_replay_location(), for
monitoring the progress of replication.

Update install-sh to that from Autoconf 2.63, plus our Darwin-specific
changes (which I simplified a bit). install-sh is now able to install
multiple files in one run, so we could simplify our makefiles sometime.
install-sh also now has a -d option to create directories, so we don't need
mkinstalldirs anymore.
Use AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in configure.in, so we can use mkdir -p when available
instead of install-sh -d. For consistency with the rest of the world,
the corresponding make variable has been renamed from $(mkinstalldirs) to
$(MKDIR_P).
Test coverage support now covers the entire source tree, including
contrib, instead of just src/backend. In a related but independent
development, the commands make coverage and make coverage-html can be run
in any directory.
This turned out to be much easier than feared. Besides a few ad hoc fixes
to pass the make target down the tree, change all affected makefiles to
list their directories in the SUBDIRS variable, changed from variants like
DIRS and WANTED_DIRS. MSVC build fix was attempted as well.
wrappers (similar to procedural languages). This way we don't need to retain
the nearly empty libraries, and we are more free in how to implement the
wrapper API in the future.
This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

errors in any commands, including in various clean targets that have so far
been handled inconsistently. make -i is available to ignore all errors in
a consistent and official way.
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.
Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.
(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
it simplifies/changes several makefiles.
(2) the documentation reflects the change.
(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

Eliminate the mysterious games that the Cygwin build plays with the linker
flag variables. DLLLIBS is gone, use SHLIB_LINK like everyone else.
Detect cygipc in configure, after the linker flags are set up, otherwise
configure might not work at all.
Make sure everything is covered by make clean.
Fix the build of the new conversion procedure modules.
Add new DLLIMPORT markers where required.
Finally, the compiler complains if we use an explicit
-I/usr/local/include, so don't do that. Curiously, -L/usr/local/lib is
still necessary.
'make install'; there are enough of 'em that this slowed down the make
noticeably. Ensure that 'all' is the default make target in all these
directories (defaulting to 'make install' is surprising and dangerous
IMHO). Fix a couple small typos.
src/GNUmakefile.in to src/Makefile
and
src/backend/port/Makefile.in to src/backend/port/Makefile
All configure substitutions are now done in Makefile.global.
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.
Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.
Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.
Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.
