Tom Lane 595a0eab7f Rationalize snprintf.c's handling of "ll" formats.
Although all known platforms define "long long" as 64 bits, it still feels
a bit shaky to be using "va_arg(args, int64)" to pull out an argument that
the caller thought was declared "long long".  The reason it was coded like
this, way back in commit 3311c7669, was to work around the possibility that
the compiler had no type named "long long" --- and, at the time, that it
maybe didn't have 64-bit ints at all.  Now that we're requiring compilers
to support C99, those concerns are moot.  Let's make the code clearer and
more bulletproof by writing "long long" where we mean "long long".

This does introduce a hazard that we'd inefficiently use 128-bit arithmetic
to convert plain old integers.  The way to tackle that would be to provide
two versions of fmtint(), one for "long long" and one for narrower types.
Since, as of today, no platforms require that, we won't bother with the
extra code for now.

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/.
