Until now postgres built extension libraries with global visibility, i.e.
exporting all symbols. On the one platform where that behavior is not
natively available, namely windows, we emulate it by analyzing the input files
to the shared library and exporting all the symbols therein.
Not exporting all symbols is actually desirable, as it can improve loading
speed, reduces the likelihood of symbol conflicts and can improve intra
extension library function call performance. It also makes the non-windows
builds more similar to windows builds.
Additionally, with meson implementing the export-all-symbols behavior for
windows, turns out to be more verbose than desirable.
This patch adds support for hiding symbols by default and, to counteract that,
explicit symbol visibility annotation for compilers that support
__attribute__((visibility("default"))) and -fvisibility=hidden. That is
expected to be most, if not all, compilers except msvc (for which we already
support explicit symbol export annotations).
Now that extension library symbols are explicitly exported, we don't need to
export all symbols on windows anymore, hence remove that behavior from
src/tools/msvc. The supporting code can't be removed, as we still need to
export all symbols from the main postgres binary.

The C4101 warning for unused variable cannot be individually suppressed
with PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, and thus cause false-positive warnings
for variables which are defined but only read/written in an assertion.
Until a satisfactory solution for per-variable suppression like how we
do for gcc and clang, disable the warning.

Here we add additional parsing of Makefiles to determine when to add
references to libpgport and libpgcommon. We also remove the need for
adding the current contrib_extrasource by adding sine very basic logic to
implement the Makefile rules which add .l and .y files when they exist for
a given .o file in the Makefile.
This is just some very basic additional parsing of Makefiles to try to
keep things more consistent between builds using make and MSVC builds.
This happens to work with how our current Makefiles are laid out, but it
could easily be broken in the future if someone chooses do something in
the Makefile that we don't have parsing support for. We will cross that
bridge when we come to it.

project files produced by the MSVC build scripts, have them check if a
particular reference or library already exists before adding the same one

Previously the 'includes' field was a string. It's slightly nicer to
manage this when it's defined as an array instead. This allows us to
more easily detect and eliminate duplicates.

This to allow verifying the MSVC build file generation without having
to have Windows.
To do this, we avoid Windows-specific Perl modules and don't run the
"cl" compiler or "nmake". The resulting build files won't actually be
completely correct, but it's useful enough.

For historical reasons, libpq used a separate libpq.rc file for the
Windows builds while all other components use a common file
win32ver.rc. With a bit of tweaking, the libpq build can also use the
win32ver.rc file. This removes a bit of duplicative code.

First, make sure that the .exe name is quoted when trying to get the
version number. Also, don't quote the lib name for using in the project
files if it's already been quoted. This second change applies to all
libraries, not just OpenSSL.
This has clearly been broken forever, so backpatch to all live branches.
This patch does two things. First, it silences a number of compile-time
warnings in the msvc tools files, mainly those due to the fact that in
some cases we have more than one package per file. Second it supplies a
dummy Perl library with just enough of the Windows API referred to in
our code to let it run these checks cleanly, even on Unix machines where
the code is never supposed to run. The dummy library should only be used
for that purpose, as its README notes.
This complies with the perlcritic policy
Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn, which is a severity 4 policy. Since we
only currently check at severity level 5, the policy is raised to that
level until we move to level 4 or lower, so that any new infringements
will be caught.
A small cosmetic piece of tidying of the pgperlcritic script is
included.

The vertical tightness settings collapse vertical whitespace between
opening and closing brackets (parentheses, square brakets and braces).
This can make data structures in particular harder to read, and is not
very consistent with our style in non-Perl code. This patch restricts
that setting to parentheses only, and reformats all the perl code
accordingly. Not applying this to parentheses has some unfortunate
effects, so the consensus is to keep the setting for parentheses and not
for the others.
The diff for this patch does highlight some places where structures
should have trailing commas. They can be added manually, as there is no
automatic tool to do so.

In each case, absence of a trailing newline would itself constitute a
PostgreSQL bug. Therefore, this slightly enhances the changed tests.
This works around a bug that last appeared in Perl 5.8.8, fixing
src/test/modules/test_pg_dump when run against that version. Commit
e7293e3271 worked around the bug, but the
subsequent addition of test_pg_dump introduced affected code. As that
commit had shown, slight increases in pattern complexity can suppress
the bug. This commit edits qr/foo$/m patterns too complex to encounter
the bug today, for style consistency and robustness against unrelated
pattern changes. Back-patch to 9.6, where test_pg_dump was introduced.
As of this writing, a fresh MSYS installation includes an affected Perl
5.8.8. The Perl 5.8.8 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 carries a patch
that renders it unaffected, but the Perl 5.8.5 of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.4 is affected.
Mostly these are just comments but there are a few in documentation
and a handful in code and tests. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much
unnecessary pain for backpatching. I relented from some of the most
common like "thru" for that reason. The rest don't seem numerous
enough to cause problems.

This makes it possible to run some stages of these build scripts on
non-Windows systems. That way, we can more easily test whether file
moves or makefile changes might break the MSVC build.

In support of this, have the MSVC build follow GNU make in preferring
GNUmakefile over Makefile when a directory contains both.
Michael Paquier, reviewed by MauMau.
Unlike "make" itself, the MSVC build process recognized a continuation
even with whitespace after the backslash. (Due to a typo, some code
sites accepted the letter "s" instead of whitespace). Also, it would
consume any number of newlines following a single backslash. This is
mere cleanup; those behaviors were unlikely to cause bugs.
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.
This ensure the version number increases over time. The first three digits
in the version number is still set to the actual PostgreSQL version

This makes it much more convenient to build tools for Postgres that are
separately compiled and require a matching CRC implementation.
To prevent multiple copies of the CRC polynomial tables being introduced
into the postgres binaries, they are now included in the static library
libpgport that is mainly meant for replacement system functions. That
seems like a bit of a kludge, but there's no better place.
This cleans up building of the tools pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog,
which previously had to build their own copies of pg_crc.o.
In the future, external programs that need access to the CRC tables can
include the tables directly from the new header file pg_crc_tables.h.

data structures and backend internal APIs. This solves problems we've seen
recently with inconsistent layout of pg_control between machines that have
32-bit time_t and those that have already migrated to 64-bit time_t. Also,
we can get out from under the problem that Windows' Unix-API emulation is not
consistent about the width of time_t.
There are a few remaining places where local time_t variables are used to hold
the current or recent result of time(NULL). I didn't bother changing these
since they do not affect any cross-module APIs and surely all platforms will
have 64-bit time_t before overflow becomes an actual risk. time_t should
be avoided for anything visible to extension modules, however.
ecpglib supports it.
Change configure (patch from Bruce) and msvc build system to no longer require
pthreads on win32, since all parts of postgresql can be thread-safe using the
