David Rowley 0fe954c285 Add -Wshadow=compatible-local to the standard compilation flags
Since cd4e8caaa, we've been able to build the source tree with
-Wshadow=compatible-local without any warnings.  Lots of work was done by
Justin Pryzby and I (David) to get all our code to compile warning free
with that flag.  In that process, 2 bugs (16d69ec29 and af7d270dd) were
discovered and fixed.  Additionally, "git log --grep=shadow" shows that
there is no shortage of other bugs that have been fixed over the years
which were caused by variable shadowing.

In light of the above, it seems very much worthwhile to add at least
-Wshadow=compatible-local to our standard compilation flags.  We *may*
want to go further and take this to -Wshadow=local in the future, but
we're not ready for that today, so let's add -Wshadow=compatible-local now
to help make sure we don't introduce further local variable shadowing.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
