The "check" target no longer needs to depend on "all", because it now
runs "install" directly, which in turn depends on "all". Doing both
will cause problems with parallel make, because two builds will run next
to each other.
Also remove the redirection of the temp-install output into a log file.
This was appropriate when this was done from within pg_regress, but now
it's just a regular make run, and especially with the above changes this
will now take the place of running the "all" target before the test
suites.

This provides a mechanism for specifying conversions between SQL data
types and procedural languages. As examples, there are transforms
for hstore and ltree for PL/Perl and PL/Python.

Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for
each test suite, which is slow and wasteful. Instead, we now create one
test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a
make run.
The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress
and handled in the makefiles. This allows for better control, and
unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress.

Prominent binaries already had this metadata. A handful of minor
binaries, such as pg_regress.exe, still lack it; efforts to eliminate
such exceptions are welcome.

Borrow the method already used by plpython. This is pretty ugly, but
it might fix the build failure exhibited by buildfarm member narwhal
since commit 846e91e022.

This means we can now construct a configure test for the library
presence. Previously these parameters were only figured out at
build time in plperl's GnuMakefile.
This was used in a time when a shared libperl or libpython was difficult
to come by. That is obsolete, and the idea behind the flag was never
fully portable anyway and will likely fail on more modern CPU
architectures.
When in SQL_ASCII encoding, strings passed around are not necessarily
UTF8-safe. We had already fixed this in some places, but it looks like
we missed some.
I had to backpatch Peter Eisentraut's a8b92b60 to 9.1 in order for this
patch to cherry-pick more cleanly.

Backpatch to 9.1 where it applies cleanly. A simple workaround is available for earlier
branches, and further effort doesn't seem warranted.
The $(PERL) macro will be set by configure if it finds perl at all,
but $(perl_privlibexp) isn't configured unless you said --with-perl.
This results in confusing error messages if someone cd's into
src/pl/plperl and tries to build there despite the configure omission,
as reported by Tomas Vondra in bug #6198. Add simple checks to
provide a more useful report, while not disabling other use of the
makefile such as "make clean".
Back-patch to 9.0, which is as far as the patch applies easily.
install-sh can install multiple files at once, so for loops are not
necessary. This was already changed for the rest of the code some
time ago, but pgxs.mk was apparently forgotten, and the obsolete
coding style has now been copied to the PLs as well.
This also fixes the problem that the for loops in question did not
catch errors.
This mostly just involves creating control, install, and
update-from-unpackaged scripts for them. However, I had to adjust plperl
and plpython to not share the same support functions between variants,
because we can't put the same function into multiple extensions.
catversion bump forced due to new contents of pg_pltemplate, and because
initdb now installs plpgsql as an extension not a bare language.
Add support for regression testing these as extensions not bare
languages.
Fix a couple of other issues that popped up while testing this: my initial
hack at pg_dump binary-upgrade support didn't work right, and we don't want
an extra schema permissions test after all.
Documentation changes still to come, but I'm committing now to see
whether the MSVC build scripts need work (likely they do).
More generally, arrays are turned in Perl array references, and row and
composite types are turned into Perl hash references. This is done
recursively, in a way that's natural to every Perl programmer.
To avoid a backwards compatibility hit, the string representation of
each structure is also available if the function requests it.

fundamentally insecure. Instead apply an opmask to the whole interpreter that
imposes restrictions on unsafe operations. These restrictions are much harder
to subvert than is Safe.pm, since there is no container to be broken out of.
Backported to release 7.4.
In releases 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 this also includes the necessary backporting of
the two interpreters model for plperl and plperlu adopted in release 8.2.
In versions 8.0 and up, the use of Perl's POSIX module to undo its locale
mangling on Windows has become insecure with these changes, so it is
replaced by our own routine, which is also faster.
Nice side effects of the changes include that it is now possible to use perl's
"strict" pragma in a natural way in plperl, and that perl's $a and
$b variables now work as expected in sort routines, and that function
compilation is significantly faster.

Split SPI.xs into two - SPI.xs now contains only SPI functions. Remainder
are in new Util.xs.
Some more code and documentation cleanup along the way, as well as
adding some CVS markers to files missing them.
Original patch from Tim Bunce, with a little editing from me.
- Changed MULTIPLICITY check from runtime to compiletime.
No loads the large Config module.
- Changed plperl_init_interp() to return new interp
and not alter the global interp_state
- Moved plperl_safe_init() call into check_interp().
- Removed plperl_safe_init_done state variable
as interp_state now covers that role.
- Changed plperl_create_sub() to take a plperl_proc_desc argument.
- Simplified return value handling in plperl_create_sub.
- Changed perl.com link in the docs to perl.org and tweaked
wording to clarify that require, not use, is what's blocked.
- Moved perl code in large multi-line C string literal macros
out to plc_*.pl files.
- Added a test2macro.pl utility to convert the plc_*.pl files to
macros in a perlchunks.h file which is #included
- Simplifed plperl_safe_init() slightly
- Optimized pg_verifymbstr calls to avoid unneeded strlen()s.

modules are built. Foremost, it creates a solid distinction between these two
types of targets based on what had already been implemented and duplicated in
ad hoc ways before. Specifically,
- Dynamically loadable modules no longer get a soname. The numbers previously
set in the makefiles were dummy numbers anyway, and the presence of a soname
upset a few packaging tools, so it is nicer not to have one.
- The cumbersome detour taken on installation (build a libfoo.so.0.0.0 and
then override the rule to install foo.so instead) is removed.
- Lots of duplicated code simplified.
implicit loading of modules, thereby breaking Safe rules.
We compile and call a tiny perl function on trusted interpreter init, after which
the problem does not occur.
pg_regress: there's no other way to cope with testing a relocated
installation. Seems better to call it --psqldir though, since the
only thing we need to find in that case is psql. It'd be better if
we could use find_other_exec, but that's not happening unless we are
willing to install pg_regress alongside psql, which seems unlikely
to happen.
This allows it to be used on Windows without installing mingw
(though you do still need 'diff'), and opens the door to future
improvements such as message localization.

plperl - the attached small patch remedies that omission, and adds a
small regression test for error and warning output - the new regression
input and expected output are in separate attached files.

pltcl may need this treatment as well, but we don't have the right path
conveniently available, so I'll leave it alone as long as there aren't
actual reports of trouble.
some of the bugs exposed thereby. The remaining 'might be used uninitialized'
warnings look like live bugs, but I am not familiar enough with Perl/C hacking
to tell how to fix them.
* perl_useshrplib gets set to "yes" and not to "true". I assume it's set
to "true" on unix, so I left both.
* Need to translate backslashes into slashes
* The linker config coming out of perl was for MSVC and not for mingw
