linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when
linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This
provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than
the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific
%.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that
before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD)
directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the
most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.)
Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.
mainloop.c. This ensures that postgres_fe.h is read before including
any system headers, which is necessary to avoid problems on some platforms
where we make nondefault selections of feature macros for stdio.h or
other headers. We have had this policy for flex modules in the backend
for many years, but for some reason it was not applied to psql.

Instead of requiring translators to translate the entire SQL command
synopses, change create_help.pl to only require them to translate the
placeholders, and paste those into the synopsis using a printf mechanism.
Make some small updates to the markup to make it easier to parse.
Note: This causes msgmerge of gettext 0.17 to segfault. You will need
the patch from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27474 to make it work.
msgmerge usually only runs on babel.postgresql.org, however.
source directory even for out-of-tree builds. They are now alsl built in
the build tree. This should be more convenient for certain developers'
workflows, and shouldn't really break anything else.
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).
used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string
is not an empty string), and got broken some more by the changes to generate
ecpg's preproc.y automatically. Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL)
elsewhere, it seems best to make use of the $(missing) script rather than
trying to ensure each such use is protected individually. Also fix various
bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for
building from a CVS pull. Per a complaint from Robert Haas.
kwlist.h, to avoid having to link the backend object file into other programs
like pg_dump. We can now simply symlink a single source file from the backend
(kwlookup.c, containing the shared routine ScanKeywordLookup) and compile it
locally, which is a lot cleaner.
duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles. We still need Makefile
control of the symbol in a few places that compile frontend-or-backend
src/port/ files, but it's a lot cleaner than before.

timezone code and other places.
Remove elog() calls from find_my_exec; do fprintf(stderr) instead. We
can then remove the exec.c handling in the makefile because it doesn't
have to be built to suppress elog calls.
recent discussion. The lexer is used for both SQL command text and
backslash commands. The purpose of this change is to make it easier to
track the behavior of the backend's SQL lexer --- essentially identical
flex rules are now used by psql. Also, this cleans up a lot of very
squirrelly code in mainloop.c and command.c. The flex code is somewhat
bulkier than the removed code, but should be lots easier to maintain.

Also, update mb/expected/unicode.out. This is necessary since the
patches affetc the result of queries using UTF-8.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I should have sent the patch earlier, but got delayed by other stuff.
Anyway, here is the patch:
- most of the functionality is only activated when MULTIBYTE is
defined,
- check valid UTF-8 characters, client-side only yet, and only on
output, you still can send invalid UTF-8 to the server (so, it's
only partly compliant to Unicode 3.1, but that's better than
nothing).
- formats with the correct number of columns (that's why I made it in
the first place after all), but only for UNICODE. However, the code
allows to plug-in routines for other encodings, as Tatsuo did for
the other multibyte functions.
- corrects a bit the UTF-8 code from Tatsuo to allow Unicode 3.1
characters (characters with values >= 0x10000, which are encoded on
four bytes).
- doesn't depend on the locale capabilities of the glibc (useful for
remote telnet).
I would like somebody to check it closely, as it is my first patch to
pgsql. Also, I created dummy .orig files, so that the two files I
created are included, I hope that's the right way.
Now, a lot of functionality is NOT included here, but I will keep that
for 7.3 :) That includes all string checking on the server side (which
will have to be a bit more optimised ;) ), and the input checking on
the client side for UTF-8, though that should not be difficult. It's
just to send the strings through mbvalidate() before sending them to
the server. Strong checking on UTF-8 strings is mandatory to be
compliant with Unicode 3.1+ .
Do I have time to look for a patch to include iso-8859-15 for 7.2 ?
The euro is coming 1. january 2002 (before 7.3 !) and over 280
millions people in Europe will need the euro sign and only iso-8859-15
and iso-8859-16 have it (and unfortunately, I don't think all Unices
will switch to Unicode in the meantime)....
err... yes, I know that this is not every single person in Europe that
uses PostgreSql, so it's not exactly 280m, but it's just a matter of
time ! ;)
I'll come back (on pgsql-hackers) later to ask a few questions
regarding the full unicode support (normalisation, collation,
regexes,...) on the server side :)
Here is the patch !
Patrice.

This form seemed to be the most portable, readable, and logical, but in any
case it's better than having a dozen different ones in the tree.
source directory. This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".". (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)
Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS). Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.
DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because
a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.
b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.
(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

The latter updated accordingly. Also add `dist' and `distcheck' targets
to play with, but caveat packager.
Updated backend/bootstrap and backend/parser makefile to make them
marginally builddir aware and fix the usual set of things.
Add rule to automatically remake config.h dependent on config.h.in and
config.status. (Adopted from Autoconf manual and about every other
package.) On a good day we should now have a complete and accurate set
of dependencies throughout everything.
standard targets and behaviour. Replaced Makefile.in's with
Makefile's and declared the respective variables in Makefile.global.
maintainer-clean target now available at top level, although it does
not work in the backend tree yet.
Cleanup pass over Makefile.shlib, renamed some targets and variables.
The shared library symlink tests are now done by make, not the shell.
ecpg: Remove one warning in sloppy flex output.
PL/Perl and Perl interface: the MakeMaker documentation is confusing,
the realclean target *does* "delete derived files", but it also
uninstalls them. Don't use that.
The submake targets in the various bin directories that update libpq
should `make all', not `make libpq.a'. That is a) unportable, and
b) doesn't build the shared library.
