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.
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.

This upgrades the configure infrastructure to the latest Autoconf version.
Some notable news are:
- The workaround for the broken fseeko() test is gone.
- Checking for unknown options is now provided by Autoconf itself.
- Fixes for Mac OS X
we can get some buildfarm feedback about whether that function is still
problematic. (Note that the planned async-preread patch will not really
prove anything one way or the other in buildfarm testing, since it will
be inactive with default GUC settings.)
the * character at the beginning of a pattern, and it does not match
subdomains.
Since this means we no longer need fnmatch, remove the imported implementation
from port, along with the autoconf check for it.
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".
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.

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.

than dividing them into 1GB segments as has been our longtime practice. This
requires working support for large files in the operating system; at least for
the time being, it won't be the default.

- Change configure.in to use Autoconf 2.61 and update generated files.
- Update build system and documentation to support now directory variables
offered by Autoconf 2.61.
- Replace usages of PGAC_CHECK_ALIGNOF by AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF, now available
in Autoconf 2.61.
- Drop our patched version of AC_C_INLINE, as Autoconf now has the change.
OpenSSL libraries --- just don't call them if they're not there. This
might possibly lead to misleading error messages, but we'll just have
to live with that.
right, there seems precious little reason to have a pile of hand-maintained
endianness definitions in src/include/port/*.h. Get rid of those, and make
the couple of places that used them depend on WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead.
This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple
(without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields. While all available
regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and
cranny, especially in contrib.

include it if it links properly. It seems too risky to assume that
standard functions like pow() are not special-cased by the compiler.
Per report from Andreas Lange that build fails on Solaris cc compiler
with -fast. Even though we don't consider that a supported option,
I'm worried that similar issues will arise with other compilers.
max_stack_depth is not set to an unsafe value.
This commit also provides configure-time checking for <sys/resource.h>,
and cleans up some perhaps-unportable code associated with use of that
include file and getrlimit().
Buildfarm results from 'gazelle' show that there are indeed libedit
versions for which history.h is a needed header, even though it's
apparently been dropped entirely in other versions. Grumble.
Per Bob Friesenhahn's report, this file is not supplied by some versions
of libedit, and even when it is supplied it seems to be just a link to
readline.h, so we don't need to include it anyway.
Also, ensure that we won't try to use a too-old version of Bison.
The previous coding would bleat but then use it anyway; better to invoke
the 'missing' script if any grammar files need to be rebuilt.
for it. Hopefully will fix core dump evidenced by some buildfarm members
since fadvise patch went in. The actual definition of the function is not
ABI-compatible with compiler's default assumption in the absence of any
declaration, so it's clearly unsafe to try to call it without seeing a
declaration.
