Tom Lane 43ac12c6e6 In type_sanity, check I/O functions of built-in types are not volatile.
We have a project policy that I/O functions must not be volatile, as per
commit aab353a60b, but we weren't doing
anything to enforce that.  In most usage the marking of the function
doesn't matter as long as its behavior is sane --- but I/O casts can
expose the marking as user-visible behavior, as per today's complaint
from Joe Van Dyk about contrib/ltree.

This test as such will only protect us against future errors in built-in
data types.  To catch the same error in contrib or third-party types,
perhaps we should make CREATE TYPE complain?  But that's a separate
issue from enforcing the policy for built-in types.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
