Tom Lane 83884682f4 psql: include intra-query "--" comments in what's sent to the server.
psql's lexer has historically deleted dash-dash (single-line) comments
from what's collected and sent to the server.  This is inconsistent
with what it does for slash-star comments, and people have complained
before that they wish such comments would be captured in the server log.
Undoing the decision completely seems like too big a behavioral change,
however.  In particular, comments on lines preceding the start of a
query are generally not thought of as being part of that query.

What we can do to improve the situation is to capture comments that
are clearly *within* a query, that is after the first non-whitespace,
non-comment token but before the query's ending semicolon or backslash
command.  This is a nearly trivial code change, and it affects only a
few regression test results.

(It is tempting to try to apply the same rule to slash-star comments.
But it's hard to see how to do that without getting strange history
behavior for comments that cross lines, especially if the user then
starts a new query on the same line as the star-slash.  In view of
the lack of complaints, let's leave that case alone.)

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
