Remove configure's checks for HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS, HAVE_SIGPROCMASK, and HAVE_SIGSETJMP. These APIs are required by the Single Unix Spec v2 (POSIX 1997), which we generally consider to define our minimum required set of Unix APIs. Moreover, no buildfarm member has reported not having them since 2012 or before, which means that even if the code is still live somewhere, it's untested --- and we've made plenty of signal-handling changes of late. So just take these APIs as given and save the cycles for configure probes for them. However, we can't remove as much C code as I'd hoped, because the Windows port evidently still uses the non-POSIX code paths for signal masking. Since we're largely emulating these BSD-style APIs for Windows anyway, it might be a good thing to switch over to POSIX-like notation and thereby remove a few more #ifdefs. But I'm not in a position to code or test that. In the meantime, we can at least make things a bit more transparent by testing for WIN32 explicitly in these places. |

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/.
