This was deemed unnecessary initially but in later discussion it was
agreed otherwise.

I had to clean up whitespace a bit per changes from Heikki.
Per previous experimentation, backtracking slows down lexing performance
significantly (by about a third). It's usually pretty easy to avoid, just
need to have rules that accept an incomplete construct and do whatever the
lexer would have done otherwise.
The backtracking was introduced by the patch that added quoted variable
substitution. Back-patch to 9.0 where that was added.
Rather than dumping out the raw array as PostgreSQL represents it
internally, we now print it out in a format similar to the one in
which the user input it, which seems a lot more user friendly.

For an empty index, the pgstatindex() function would compute 0.0/0.0 for
its avg_leaf_density and leaf_fragmentation outputs. On machines that
follow the IEEE float arithmetic standard with any care, that results in
a NaN. However, per report from Rushabh Lathia, Microsoft couldn't
manage to get this right, so you'd get a bizarre error on Windows.
Fix by forcing the results to be NaN explicitly, rather than relying on
the division operator to give that or the snprintf function to print it
correctly. I have some doubts that this is really the most useful
definition, but it seems better to remain backward-compatible with
those platforms for which the behavior wasn't completely broken.
Back-patch to 8.2, since the code is like that in all current releases.
The previous coding resulted in contrib modules unintentionally overriding
the use of CONTRIB_TESTDB. There seems no particularly good reason to
allow that (after all, the makefile can set CONTRIB_TESTDB if that's really
what it intends).
In passing, document REGRESS_OPTS where the other pgxs.mk options are
documented.
Back-patch to 9.1 --- in prior versions, there were no cases of contrib
modules setting REGRESS_OPTS without including the --dbname switch, so
while the coding was fragile there was no actual bug.
We'll have to settle for just listing the extensions' data types,
since function arguments seem to sort differently in different locales.
Per buildfarm results.
When we implemented extensions, we made findDependentObjects() treat
EXTENSION dependency links similarly to INTERNAL links. However, that
logic contained an implicit assumption that an object could have at most
one INTERNAL dependency, so it did not work correctly for objects having
both INTERNAL and DEPENDENCY links. This led to failure to drop some
extension member objects when dropping the extension. Furthermore, we'd
never actually exercised the case of recursing to an internally-referenced
(owning) object from anything other than a NORMAL dependency, and it turns
out that passing the incoming dependency's flags to the owning object is
the Wrong Thing. This led to sometimes dropping a whole extension silently
when we should have rejected the drop command for lack of CASCADE.
Since we obviously were under-testing extension drop scenarios, add some
regression test cases. Unfortunately, such test cases require some
extensions (duh), so we can't test for problems in the core regression
tests. I chose to add them to the earthdistance contrib module, which is
a good test case because it has a dependency on the cube contrib module.
Back-patch to 9.1. Arguably these are pre-existing bugs in INTERNAL
dependency handling, but since it appears that the cases can never arise
pre-9.1, I'll refrain from back-patching the logic changes further than
that.
When creating a new schema for a non-relocatable extension, we neglected
to check whether the calling user has permission to create schemas.
That didn't matter in the original coding, since we had already checked
superuserness, but in the new dispensation where users need not be
superusers, we should check it. Use CreateSchemaCommand() rather than
calling NamespaceCreate() directly, so that we also enforce the rules
about reserved schema names.
Per complaint from KaiGai Kohei, though this isn't the same as his patch.
set_append_rel_pathlist supposed that, while computing per-column width
estimates for the appendrel, it could ignore child rels for which the
translated reltargetlist entry wasn't a Var. This gave rise to completely
silly estimates in some common cases, such as constant outputs from some or
all of the arms of a UNION ALL. Instead, fall back on get_typavgwidth to
estimate from the value's datatype; which might be a poor estimate but at
least it's not completely wacko.
That problem was exposed by an Assert in set_subquery_size_estimates, which
unfortunately was still overoptimistic even with that fix, since we don't
compute attr_widths estimates for appendrels that are entirely excluded by
constraints. So remove the Assert; we'll just fall back on get_typavgwidth
in such cases.
Also, since set_subquery_size_estimates calls set_baserel_size_estimates
which calls set_rel_width, there's no need for set_subquery_size_estimates
to call get_typavgwidth; set_rel_width will handle it for us if we just
leave the estimate set to zero. Remove the unnecessary code.
Per report from Erik Rijkers and subsequent investigation.
The previous coding would result in deleting and not re-creating the
extension membership pg_depend rows, since there was no
CommandCounterIncrement that would allow recordDependencyOnCurrentExtension
to see that the deletion had happened. Make it work like the shell type
case, ie, keep the existing entries (and then throw an error if they're for
the wrong extension).
Per bug #6172 from Hitoshi Harada. Investigation and fix by Dimitri
Fontaine.
Due to tuple-slot mismanagement, evaluation of WHEN conditions for AFTER
ROW UPDATE triggers could crash if there had been a BEFORE ROW trigger
fired for the same update. Fix by not trying to overload the use of
estate->es_trig_tuple_slot. Per report from Yoran Heling.
Back-patch to 9.0, when trigger WHEN conditions were introduced.
As pointed out by Sergey Koposov, repeated invocations of tbm_lossify can
make building a large tidbitmap into an O(N^2) operation. To fix, make
sure we remove more than the minimum amount of information per call, and
add a fallback path to behave sanely if we're unable to fit the bitmap
within the requested amount of memory.
This has been wrong since the tidbitmap code was written, so back-patch
to all supported branches.
Eliminate dependencies on "which", as we don't really need that to be
installed for proper testing. Don't number the tests, as that increases
the footprint of every patch that wants to add or remove tests. Make
the test output more informative, so that it's a bit easier to see what
went right (or wrong). Spelling and grammar improvements.
contrib/xml2 can get by without libxslt; the relevant features just
won't work. But if doesn't have libxml2, or if sepgsql doesn't have
libselinux, the link succeeds but the module then fails to work at load
time. To avoid that, link the require libraries unconditionally, so
that it will be clear at link-time that there is a problem.
Per discussion with Tom Lane and KaiGai Kohei.
Now that we have a test that requires nondefault settings to pass, it seems
like we'd better mention that detail in the directions about how to run the
tests.
Also do some very minor copy-editing.
order of begin, prepare, and commit of three concurrent transactions that
have conflicts between them.
The test runs for a quite long time, and the expected output file is huge,
but this test caught some serious bugs during development, so seems
worthwhile to keep. The test uses prepared transactions, so it fails if the
server has max_prepared_transactions=0. Because of that, it's marked as
"ignore" in the schedule file.

Perhaps we ought to add some other kind of documentation here instead,
but for now let's get rid of this woefully obsolete description of the
sinval machinery.
Because of ABI tagging, the library version number might no longer be
exactly the Python version number, so do extra lookups. This affects
installations without a shared library, such as ActiveState's
installer.
Also update the way to detect the location of the 'config' directory,
which can also be versioned.

Module initialization functions in Python 3 must have external
linkage, because PyMODINIT_FUNC does dllexport on Windows-like
platforms. Without this change, the build with Python 3 fails on
Windows.
Dropped columns within a composite type were not handled correctly.
Also, we did not check for whether a composite result type had changed
since we cached the information about it.
