History

Tom Lane 91e79260f6 Remove no-longer-required function declarations. Remove a bunch of "extern Datum foo(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);" declarations that are no longer needed now that PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(foo) provides that. Some of these were evidently missed in commit `e7128e8dbb`, but others were cargo-culted in in code added since then. Possibly that can be blamed in part on the fact that we'd not fixed relevant documentation examples, which I've now done.		2015-05-24 12:20:23 -04:00

Snowball-Based Stemming
=======================

This module uses the word stemming code developed by the Snowball project,
http://snowball.tartarus.org/
which is released by them under a BSD-style license.

The files under src/backend/snowball/libstemmer/ and
src/include/snowball/libstemmer/ are taken directly from their libstemmer_c
distribution, with only some minor adjustments of file inclusions.  Note
that most of these files are in fact derived files, not master source.
The master sources are in the Snowball language, and are available along
with the Snowball-to-C compiler from the Snowball project.  We choose to
include the derived files in the PostgreSQL distribution because most
installations will not have the Snowball compiler available.

To update the PostgreSQL sources from a new Snowball libstemmer_c
distribution:

1. Copy the *.c files in libstemmer_c/src_c/ to src/backend/snowball/libstemmer
with replacement of "../runtime/header.h" by "header.h", for example

for f in libstemmer_c/src_c/*.c
do
    sed 's|\.\./runtime/header\.h|header.h|' $f >libstemmer/`basename $f`
done

(Alternatively, if you rebuild the stemmer files from the master Snowball
sources, just omit "-r ../runtime" from the Snowball compiler switches.)

2. Copy the *.c files in libstemmer_c/runtime/ to
src/backend/snowball/libstemmer, and edit them to remove direct inclusions
of system headers such as <stdio.h> --- they should only include "header.h".
(This removal avoids portability problems on some platforms where <stdio.h>
is sensitive to largefile compilation options.)

3. Copy the *.h files in libstemmer_c/src_c/ and libstemmer_c/runtime/
to src/include/snowball/libstemmer.  At this writing the header files
do not require any changes.

4. Check whether any stemmer modules have been added or removed.  If so, edit
the OBJS list in Makefile, the list of #include's in dict_snowball.c, and the
stemmer_modules[] table in dict_snowball.c.

5. The various stopword files in stopwords/ must be downloaded
individually from pages on the snowball.tartarus.org website.
Be careful that these files must be stored in UTF-8 encoding.
