David Rowley 6b423ec677 Improve performance of pg_strtointNN functions
Experiments have shown that modern versions of both gcc and clang are
unable to fully optimize the multiplication by 10 that we're doing in the
pg_strtointNN functions.  Both compilers seem to be making use of "imul",
which is not the most efficient way to multiply by 10.  This seems to be
due to the overflow checking that we're doing.  Without the overflow
checks, both those compilers switch to a more efficient method of
multiplying by 10.  In absence of overflow concern, integer multiplication
by 10 can be done by bit-shifting left 3 places to multiply by 8 and then
adding the original value twice.

To allow compilers this flexibility, here we adjust the code so that we
accumulate the number as an unsigned version of the type and remove the
use of pg_mul_sNN_overflow() and pg_sub_sNN_overflow().  The overflow
checking can be done simply by checking if the accumulated value has gone
beyond a 10th of the maximum *signed* value for the given type.  If it has
then the accumulation of the next digit will cause an overflow.  After
this is done, we do a final overflow check before converting the unsigned
version of the number back to its signed counterpart.

Testing has shown about an 8% speedup of a COPY into a table containing 2
INT columns.

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/.
