pg_usleep at all. Instead call the replacement function in
port/win32/signal.c by that name. Avoids tricky macro-redefinition
logic and suppresses a compiler warning; furthermore it ensures that
no one can accidentally use the non-signal-aware version of pg_usleep
in a Windows backend.

Fix for different getaddrinfo structure ordering on Win32 for IPv6.
Hiroshi Saito
After updating to the latest cvs, and also building most of the addons
(like PLs), the following patch is neededf for win32 + Visual C++.
* Switch to use the new win32 semaphore code
* Rename win32_open to pgwin32_open. win32_open collides with symbols
defined in Perl. MingW didn't detect ig, MSVC did. And it's a bit too
generic a name to export globally, imho...
* Python defines some partially broken #pragmas in the headers when
doing a debug build. Workaround.

places --- that risks corrupting data structures, losing sync with the
backend, etc. We now longjmp only from calls to readline, fgets, and
fread, which we assume are coded to protect themselves against interrupts
at undesirable times. This requires adding explicit tests for
cancel_pressed in long-running loops, but on the whole it's far cleaner.

the logic it contained to switch to insertion sort for near-sorted input was
in fact a big loss, because it could fairly easily be fooled into applying
insertion sort to large subfiles that weren't all that well ordered. Remove
that, and instead add a simple check for already-perfectly-sorted input, as
per suggestion from Dann Corbit. This adds at worst O(N*lgN) overhead, and
usually far less, while sometimes allowing a subfile sort to finish in O(N)
time. Preliminary testing says this is an improvement over the basic
Bentley & McIlroy code for many nonrandom inputs, and it costs almost
nothing when the input is random.

differ by more than the last directory component. Instead of insisting
that they match up to the last component, accept whatever common prefix
they have, and try to replace the non-matching part of bin_path with
the non-matching part of target_path in the actual executable's path.
In one way this is tighter than the old code, because it insists on
a match to the part of bin_path we want to substitute for, rather than
blindly stripping one directory component from the executable's path.

of special case for Windows port. Put a PG_TRY around most of createdb()
to ensure that we remove copied subdirectories on failure, even if the
failure happens while creating the pg_database row. (I think this explains
Oliver Siegmar's recent report.) Having done that, there's no need for
the fragile assumption that copydir() mustn't ereport(ERROR), so simplify
its API. Eliminate the old code that used system("cp ...") to copy
subdirectories, in favor of using copydir() on all platforms. This not
only should allow much better error reporting, but allows us to fsync
the created files before trusting that the copy has succeeded.
The first rule of portability for us is 'thou shalt have no other gods
before c.h', and a whole lot of these files were either not including
c.h at all, or including random system headers beforehand, either of

and doesn't process forward slashes in the same way as external

Win32 COPY works with quoted forward slashes in the first argument only if the

of '.' or '..'. Extend canonicalize_path() to trim off trailing occurrences

only after places where we trim the last path component, but maybe some
others will turn up). Fixes Josh's complaint that './initdb' does not

extensive change then what was suggested. I found the file path.c that
contained a lot of "Unix/Windows" agnostic functions so I added a function
there instead and removed the PATHSEP declaration in exec.c altogether. All
to keep things from scattering all over the code.
I also took the liberty of changing the name of the functions
"first_path_sep" and "last_path_sep". Where I come from (and I'm apparently
not alone given the former macro name PATHSEP), they should be called
"first_dir_sep" and "last_dir_sep". The new function I introduced, that
actually finds path separators, is now the "first_path_sep". The patch
contains changes on all affected places of course.
I also changed the documentation on dynamic_library_path to reflect the
chagnes.

all the code that looks for other binaries. I move FindExec into
port/exec.c (and renamed it to find_my_binary()). I also added
find_other_binary that looks for another binary in the same directory as
the calling program, and checks the version string.
The only behavior change was that initdb and pg_dump would look in the
hard-coded bindir directory if it can't find the requested binary in the
same directory as the caller. The new code throws an error. The old
behavior seemed too error prone for version mismatches.
conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

I added a comment to that part of the code:
/*

It works on the principle of turning sockets into non-blocking, and then
emulate blocking behaviour on top of that, while allowing signals to
run. Signals are now implemented using an event instead of APCs, thus
getting rid of the issue of APCs not being compatible with "old style"
sockets functions.
It also moves the win32 specific code away from pqsignal.h/c into
port/win32, and also removes the "thread style workaround" of the APC
issue previously in place.
In order to make things work, a few things are also changed in pgstat.c:
1) There is now a separate pipe to the collector and the bufferer. This
is required because the pipe will otherwise only be signalled in one of
the processes when the postmaster goes down. The MS winsock code for
select() must have some kind of workaround for this behaviour, but I
have found no stable way of doing that. You really are not supposed to
use the same socket from more than one process (unless you use
WSADuplicateSocket(), in which case the docs specifically say that only
one will be flagged).
2) The check for "postmaster death" is moved into a separate select()
call after the main loop. The previous behaviour select():ed on the
postmaster pipe, while later explicitly saying "we do NOT check for
postmaster exit inside the loop".
The issue was that the code relies on the same select() call seeing both
the postmaster pipe *and* the pgstat pipe go away. This does not always
happen, and it appears that useing WSAEventSelect() makes it even more
common that it does not.
Since it's only called when the process exits, I don't think using a
separate select() call will have any significant impact on how the stats
collector works.

I decided to go ahead with the required changes since no one else seems

Solaris header to define the byte order. Note that NetBSD sets this

i gave jolly my btree bulkload code a long, long time ago but never
gave him a bunch of my bugfixes. here's a diff against the 6.0
baseline.
for some reason, this code has slowed down somewhat relative to the
insertion-build code on very small tables. don't know why -- it used
to be within about 10%. anyway, here are some (highly unscientific!)
timings on a dec 3000/300 for synthetic tables with 10k, 100k and
1000k tuples (basically, 1mb, 10mb and 100mb heaps). 'c' means
clustered (pre-sorted) inputs and 'u' means unclustered (randomly
ordered) inputs. the 10k table basically fits in the buffer pool, but
the 100k and 1000k tables don't. as you can see, insertion build is
fine if you've sorted your heaps on your index key or if your heap
fits in core, but is absolutely horrible on unordered data (yes,
that's 7.5 hours to index 100mb of data...) because of the zillions of
random i/os.
if it doesn't work for you for whatever reason, you can always turn it
back off by flipping the FastBuild flag in nbtree.c. i don't have
time to maintain it.
good luck!
