Tom Lane f2386d7136 Fix configure's search for collateindex.pl.
PGAC_PATH_COLLATEINDEX supposed that it could use AC_PATH_PROGS to search
for collateindex.pl, but that macro will only accept files that are marked
executable, and at least some DocBook installations don't mark the script
executable (a case the docs Makefile was already prepared for).  Accept the
script if it's present and readable in $DOCBOOKSTYLE/bin, and otherwise
search the PATH as before.

Having fixed that up, we don't need the fallback case that was in the docs
Makefile, and instead can throw an understandable error if configure didn't
find the script.  Per recent trouble report from John Lumby.

Tom Lane 74e29162a4 Allow MinGW builds to use standardly-named OpenSSL libraries.
In the Fedora variant of MinGW, the openssl libraries have their normal
names, not libeay32 and libssleay32.  Adjust configure probes to allow
that, per bug #6486.

Robert Haas 4f658dc851 Support fls().
The immediate impetus for this is that Noah Misch's patch to elide
unnecessary table and index rebuilds when changing typmod for temporal
types uses it; and this is extracted from that patch, with some
further commentary by me.  But it seems logically separate from the
remainder of the patch, so I'm committing it separately; this is not
the first time someone has wanted fls() in the backend and probably
won't be the last.

If we end up using this in more performance-critical spots it may be
worthwhile to add some architecture-specific optimizations to our
src/port version of fls() - e.g. any x86 platform can implement this
using the assembly instruction BSRL.  But performance won't matter
a bit for assessing typmod changes, so I'm not worried about that
right now.

Tom Lane 0a41e86584 Use __sync_lock_test_and_set() for spinlocks on ARM, if available.
Historically we've used the SWPB instruction for TAS() on ARM, but this
is deprecated and not available on ARMv6 and later.  Instead, make use
of a GCC builtin if available.  We'll still fall back to SWPB if not,
so as not to break existing ports using older GCC versions.

Eventually we might want to try using __sync_lock_test_and_set() on some
other architectures too, but for now that seems to present only risk and
not reward.

Back-patch to all supported versions, since people might want to use any
of them on more recent ARM chips.

Tom Lane 5cfa8dd300 Use mutex hint bit in PPC LWARX instructions, where possible.
The hint bit makes for a small but measurable performance improvement
in access to contended spinlocks.

On the other hand, some PPC chips give an illegal-instruction failure.
There doesn't seem to be a completely bulletproof way to tell whether the
hint bit will cause an illegal-instruction failure other than by trying
it; but most if not all 64-bit PPC machines should accept it, so follow
the Linux kernel's lead and assume it's okay to use it in 64-bit builds.
Of course we must also check whether the assembler accepts the command,
since even with a recent CPU the toolchain could be old.

Patch by Manabu Ori, significantly modified by me.

Robert Haas 4af43ee3f1 Make pgbench use erand48() rather than random().
glibc renders random() thread-safe by wrapping a futex lock around it;
testing reveals that this limits the performance of pgbench on machines
with many CPU cores.  Rather than switching to random_r(), which is
only available on GNU systems and crashes unless you use undocumented
alchemy to initialize the random state properly, switch to our built-in
implementation of erand48(), which is both thread-safe and concurrent.

Since the list of reasons not to use the operating system's erand48()
is getting rather long, rename ours to pg_erand48() (and similarly
for our implementations of lrand48() and srand48()) and just always
use those.  We were already doing this on Cygwin anyway, and the
glibc implementation is not quite thread-safe, so pgbench wouldn't
be able to use that either.

Per discussion with Tom Lane.

Tom Lane cacd42d62c Rewrite libxml error handling to be more robust.
libxml reports some errors (like invalid xmlns attributes) via the error
handler hook, but still returns a success indicator to the library caller.
This causes us to miss some errors that are important to report.  Since the
"generic" error handler hook doesn't know whether the message it's getting
is for an error, warning, or notice, stop using that and instead start
using the "structured" error handler hook, which gets enough information
to be useful.

While at it, arrange to save and restore the error handler hook setting in
each libxml-using function, rather than assuming we can set and forget the
hook.  This should improve the odds of working nicely with third-party
libraries that also use libxml.

In passing, volatile-ize some local variables that get modified within
PG_TRY blocks.  I noticed this while testing with an older gcc version
than I'd previously tried to compile xml.c with.

Peter Eisentraut dbbba5279f Start using flexible array members
Flexible array members are a C99 feature that avoids "cheating" in the
declaration of variable-length arrays at the end of structs.  With
Autoconf support, this should be transparent for older compilers.

We start with one use in gist.h because gcc 4.6 started to raise a
warning there.  Over time, it can be expanded to other places in the
source, but they will likely need some review of sizeof and offsetof
usage.  The current change in gist.h appears to be safe in this
regard.

Tom Lane be4585b1c2 Replace use of credential control messages with getsockopt(LOCAL_PEERCRED).
It turns out the reason we hadn't found out about the portability issues
with our credential-control-message code is that almost no modern platforms
use that code at all; the ones that used to need it now offer getpeereid(),
which we choose first.  The last holdout was NetBSD, and they added
getpeereid() as of 5.0.  So far as I can tell, the only live platform on
which that code was being exercised was Debian/kFreeBSD, ie, FreeBSD kernel
with Linux userland --- since glibc doesn't provide getpeereid(), we fell
back to the control message code.  However, the FreeBSD kernel provides a
LOCAL_PEERCRED socket parameter that's functionally equivalent to Linux's
SO_PEERCRED.  That is both much simpler to use than control messages, and
superior because it doesn't require receiving a message from the other end
at just the right time.

Therefore, add code to use LOCAL_PEERCRED when necessary, and rip out all
the credential-control-message code in the backend.  (libpq still has such
code so that it can still talk to pre-9.1 servers ... but eventually we can
get rid of it there too.)  Clean up related autoconf probes, too.

This means that libpq's requirepeer parameter now works on exactly the same
platforms where the backend supports peer authentication, so adjust the
documentation accordingly.

Tom Lane 44404f3945 Adjust configure to use "+Olibmerrno" with HP-UX C compiler, if possible.
This is reported to be necessary on some versions of that OS.  In service

compiler warnings, since on yet other versions of that OS, the switch does
nothing except provoke a warning.

Peter Eisentraut 8dd2ede3f8 Improve compiler string shown in version()
With some compilers such as Clang and ICC emulating GCC, using a
version string of the form "GCC $version" can be quite misleading.
Also, a great while ago, the version output from gcc --version started
including the string "gcc", so it is redundant to repeat that.  In
order to support ancient GCC versions, we now prefix the result with
"GCC " only if the version output does not start with a letter.

Tom Lane 2ab0796d7a Fix char2wchar/wchar2char to support collations properly.
These functions should take a pg_locale_t, not a collation OID, and should
call mbstowcs_l/wcstombs_l where available.  Where those functions are not
available, temporarily select the correct locale with uselocale().

This change removes the bogus assumption that all locales selectable in
a given database have the same wide-character conversion method; in
particular, the collate.linux.utf8 regression test now passes with
LC_CTYPE=C, so long as the database encoding is UTF8.

I decided to move the char2wchar/wchar2char functions out of mbutils.c and
into pg_locale.c, because they work on wchar_t not pg_wchar_t and thus
don't really belong with the mbutils.c functions.  Keeping them where they
were would have required importing pg_locale_t into pg_wchar.h somehow,
which did not seem like a good plan.

Heikki Linnakangas 2746e5f21d Introduce latches. A latch is a boolean variable, with the capability to
wait until it is set. Latches can be used to reliably wait until a signal
arrives, which is hard otherwise because signals don't interrupt select()
on some platforms, and even when they do, there's race conditions.

On Unix, latches use the so called self-pipe trick under the covers to
implement the sleep until the latch is set, without race conditions. On
Windows, Windows events are used.

Use the new latch abstraction to sleep in walsender, so that as soon as
a transaction finishes, walsender is woken up to immediately send the WAL
to the standby. This reduces the latency between master and standby, which
is good.

Preliminary work by Fujii Masao. The latch implementation is by me, with
helpful comments from many people.

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.)

it took nearly two years for anyone to even notice, it seems that the
rationale for continuing to support such platforms has reached the point
of non-existence.  Rather than thrashing around to try to make it work
again, we'll just admit up front that this no longer works.

Tom Lane e97281c46c Write psql's ~/.psql_history file using history_truncate_file() and
append_history(), if libreadline is new enough to have those functions
(they seem to be present at least since 4.2; but libedit may not have them).
This gives significantly saner behavior when two or more sessions overlap in
their use of the history file; although having two sessions exit at just the
same time is still perilous to your history.  The behavior of \s remains
unchanged, ie, overwrite whatever was there.
Per bug #5052 from Marek Wójtowicz.

Tom Lane d69a419e68 Remove any -arch switches given in ExtUtils::Embed's ldopts from our
perl_embed_ldflags setting.  On OS X it seems that ExtUtils::Embed is
trying to force a universal binary to be built, but you need to specify
that a lot further upstream if you want Postgres built that way; the only
result of including -arch in perl_embed_ldflags is some warnings at the
plperl.so link step.  Per my complaint and Jan Otto's suggestion.

Tom Lane 59b9f3d36d Replace use of the long-deprecated Bonjour API DNSServiceRegistrationCreate
with the not-so-deprecated DNSServiceRegister.  This patch shouldn't change
any user-visible behavior, it just gets rid of a deprecation warning in
--with-bonjour builds.  The new code will fail on OS X releases before 10.3,
but it seems unlikely that anyone will want to run Postgres 8.5 on 10.2.

Peter Eisentraut 9d182ef002 Update of install-sh, mkinstalldirs, and associated configury
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).

Peter Eisentraut c29d7f02c2 Use DocBook XSL stylesheets for man page building
This switches the man page building process to use the DocBook XSL stylesheet
toolchain.  The previous targets for Docbook2X are removed. configure has been
updated to look for the new tools.  The Documentation appendix contains the
new build instructions.  There are also a few isolated tweaks in the
documentation to improve places that came out strangely in the man pages.

Andrew Dunstan dc7aa36521 Force use of our erand48 on Cygwin 2009-07-23 23:50:29 +00:00
Tom Lane c43feefa80 Add erand48() to the set of functions supported by our src/port/ library,
and extend configure to test for it properly instead of hard-wiring
an assumption that everybody but Windows has the rand48 functions.
(We do cheat to the extent of assuming that probing for erand48 will do
for the entire rand48 family.)

erand48() is unused as of this commit, but a followon patch will cause
GEQO to depend on it.

2009-04-04 21:55:50 +00:00
Tom Lane 3da36407c0 On Solaris, we should only force use of our own getopt(); it's okay to use
the system's getopt_long().  The previous coding was the result of a sloppy
discussion that failed to draw this distinction.  The result was that PG
programs don't handle options as users of that platform expect.  Per
gripe from Chuck McDevitt.

Although this is a pre-existing bug, I'm not backpatching since I think we
could do with a bit of beta testing before concluding this is really OK.

Peter Eisentraut a65ed83f8a Allow configure to deal with Python 3.0. Changes were:
print foo --> print(foo)
string.join(...) --> ' '.join(...)

These changes are backward compatible.

The actual plpython module appears to need significant updates to support
Python 3.0, though.  This change just relieves interested developers from
having to deal with Autoconf.

Tom Lane 623f8a0969 Modify the recently-added probe for -Wl,--as-needed some more, because RHEL-4

is the only reliable way to check whether this is really safe.  Per report
from Tatsuo.

2008-05-20 03:30:22 +00:00
Tom Lane 2dad10f467 Make another try at using -Wl,--as-needed to suppress linking of unnecessary
shared libraries.  We've tried this before and had problems with libreadline
not linking properly on some platforms, but that seems to be a libreadline
bug that may have been fixed by now.  In any case, it's early enough in the
8.4 devel cycle that we can afford to have some transient breakage while
we work out any portability problems.

On Darwin, we try -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs, which seems to be the equivalent
incantation there.
2008-05-18 20:13:12 +00:00
Andrew Dunstan d61eecb5a1 Provide for MSVC config equivalents of recently added configure options. Remove
any hardcoding of those options. Along the way, reorder the expression used to
calculate RELSEG_SIZE to make it slightly clearer. For now wal_segsize is only
allowed to have a value of 1 on Windows - we can relax that when we get full
large file support in the backend.
2008-05-03 00:24:06 +00:00
Tom Lane cf9f6c8d8e Extend yesterday's patch making BLCKSZ and RELSEG_SIZE configurable to also
let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure.  Per a proposal by
Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather
than "xlog".
2008-05-02 19:52:37 +00:00
Tom Lane 3c6248a828 Remove the recently added USE_SEGMENTED_FILES option, and indeed remove all
support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c.  Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to
segmenting with a suitably large segment size.  So instead provide a
configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes.
While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

Tom Lane 9c37aa291f Fix broken configure test for libxslt: it was probing for xsltLibxmlVersion,

an actual function instead.
2008-04-28 22:47:03 +00:00
Tom Lane 8472bf7a73 Allow float8, int8, and related datatypes to be passed by value on machines
where Datum is 8 bytes wide.  Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior.  Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

Zoltan Boszormenyi, plus configurability stuff by me.
2008-04-21 00:26:47 +00:00
Alvaro Herrera 7861d72ea2 Modify the float4 datatype to be pass-by-val. Along the way, remove the last
uses of the long-deprecated float32 in contrib/seg; the definitions themselves
are still there, but no longer used.  fmgr/README updated to match.

I added a CREATE FUNCTION to account for existing seg_center() code in seg.c
too, and some tests for it and the neighbor functions.  At the same time,
remove checks for NULL which are not needed (because the functions are declared
STRICT).

I had to do some adjustments to contrib's btree_gist too.  The choices for
representation there are not ideal for changing the underlying types :-(

Original patch by Zoltan Boszormenyi, with some adjustments by me.
2008-04-18 18:43:09 +00:00
Neil Conway 2169e42bef Enable 64-bit integer datetimes by default, per previous discussion.

back to the previous floating point-based datetime implementation.
2008-03-30 04:08:15 +00:00
Tom Lane fe83a3fdbd Use -fwrapv in CFLAGS if we are using a version of gcc that accepts this flag.
This prevents compiler optimizations that assume overflow won't occur, which
breaks numerous overflow tests that we need to have working.  It is known
that gcc 4.3 causes problems and possible that 4.1 does.  Per my proposal
of some time ago and a recent report from Kris Jurka.

Backpatch as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch conveniently goes.
7.x was pretty short of overflow tests anyway, so it may not matter there,
even assuming that anyone cares whether 7.x builds on recent gcc.
2008-03-10 21:50:16 +00:00
Tom Lane f0828b2fc3 Provide a build-time option to store large relations as single files, rather
