b09c248bdd Fix PGXS conventions so that extensions can be built against Postgres
installations whose pg_config program does not appear first in the PATH.
Per gripe from Eddie Stanley and subsequent discussions with Fabien Coelho
and others.

31edbadf4a Downgrade implicit casts to text to be assignment-only, except for the ones
from the other string-category types; this eliminates a lot of surprising
interpretations that the parser could formerly make when there was no directly
applicable operator.

Create a general mechanism that supports casts to and from the standard string
types (text,varchar,bpchar) for *every* datatype, by invoking the datatype's
I/O functions.  These new casts are assignment-only in the to-string direction,
explicit-only in the other, and therefore should create no surprising behavior.
Remove a bunch of thereby-obsoleted datatype-specific casting functions.

The "general mechanism" is a new expression node type CoerceViaIO that can
actually convert between *any* two datatypes if their external text
representations are compatible.  This is more general than needed for the
immediate feature, but might be useful in plpgsql or other places in future.

This commit does nothing about the issue that applying the concatenation
operator || to non-text types will now fail, often with strange error messages
due to misinterpreting the operator as array concatenation.  Since it often
(not always) worked before, we should either make it succeed or at least give
a more user-friendly error; but details are still under debate.

2afb01dbde Athough cube is a varlena type, nowhere was a detoasting of cube's value, so
fix it.  Add macroses DatumGetNDBOX, PG_GETARG_NDBOX and PG_RETURN_NDBOX.
Backpatch for 8.2 too.

Previous versions use version 0 calling conventions. And fmgr code detoast
values for user-defined functions.

234a02b2a8 Replace direct assignments to VARATT_SIZEP(x) with SET_VARSIZE(x, len).
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names.  Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught.  In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

796de9c1ed /contrib/cube improvements:
Update the calling convention for all external facing functions. By
external facing, I mean all functions that are directly referenced in
cube.sql. Prior to my update, all functions used the older V0 calling
convention. They now use V1.

New Functions:

cube(float[]), which makes a zero volume cube from a float array

cube(float[], float[]), which allows the user to create a cube from
two float arrays; one for the upper right and one for the lower left
coordinate.

cube_subset(cube, int4[]), to allow you to reorder or choose a subset of
dimensions from a cube, using index values specified in the array.

1f7ef548ec Changes
* new split algorithm (as proposed in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00254.php)
  * possible call pickSplit() for second and below columns
  * add spl_(l|r)datum_exists to GIST_SPLITVEC -
    pickSplit should check its values to use already defined
    spl_(l|r)datum for splitting. pickSplit should set
    spl_(l|r)datum_exists to 'false' (if they was 'true') to
    signal to caller about using spl_(l|r)datum.
  * support for old pickSplit(): not very optimal
    but correct split
* remove 'bytes' field from GISTENTRY: in any case size of
  value is defined by it's type.
* split GIST_SPLITVEC to two structures: one for using in picksplit
  and second - for internal use.
* some code refactoring
* support of subsplit to rtree opclasses

48fb696753 Fix a number of syntax errors in contrib modules' uninstall scripts.
Most of the changes add the mandatory USING clause to DROP OPERATOR
CLASS statements.  DROP TYPE is now DROP TYPE CASCADE; without
CASCADE a DROP TYPE fails due to the circular dependency on the
type's I/O functions.  The DROP FUNCTION statements for the I/O
functions have been removed, as DROP TYPE CASCADE removes them
automatically. Patch from Michael Fuhr.

fb51ad3419 Make all our flex and bison files use %option prefix or %name-prefix
(respectively) to rename yylex and related symbols.  Some were doing
it this way already, while others used not-too-reliable sed hacks in
the Makefiles.  It's all nice and consistent now.

8e5a10d46c This patch makes the error message strings throughout the backend
more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).

36ab600511 Cleanup of GiST extensions in contrib/: now that we always invoke GiST
methods in a short-lived memory context, there is no need for GiST methods
to do their own manual (and error-prone) memory management.

c891e05f26 Cleanup GiST header files. Since GiST extensions are often written as
external projects, we should be careful about what parts of the GiST
API are considered implementation details, and which are part of the
public API. Therefore, I've moved internal-only declarations into
gist_private.h -- future backward-incompatible changes to gist.h should
be made with care, to avoid needlessly breaking external GiST extensions.

Also did some related header cleanup: remove some unnecessary #includes
from gist.h, and remove some unused definitions: isAttByVal(), _gistdump(),
and GISTNStrategies.

fa96a5e15b Add %option nodefault to all our flex lexers. Fix a couple of rule gaps
exposed thereby.  AFAICT these would not lead to any worse problems than
junk emitted on the backend's stdout, but we should have the option to
catch possible worse errors in future.

5666462f2e Ensure that in all flex lexers that are part of the backend, a
yy_fatal_error() call results in elog(ERROR) not exit().  This was
already fixed in the main lexer and plpgsql, but extend same technique
to all the other dot-l files.  Also, on review of the possible calls
to yy_fatal_error(), it seems safe to use elog(ERROR) not elog(FATAL).
