Tom Lane ccf312a448 Remove return values of ConditionVariableSignal/Broadcast. In the wake of commit `aced5a92b`, the semantics of these results are a bit squishy: we can tell whether we signaled some other process(es), but we do not know which ones were real waiters versus mere sentinels for ConditionVariableBroadcast operations. It does not help much that ConditionVariableBroadcast will attempt to pass on the signal to the next real waiter, because (a) there might not be one, and (b) that will only happen awhile later, anyway. So these results could overstate how much effect the calls really had. However, no existing caller of either function pays any attention to its result value, so it seems reasonable to just define that as a required property of a correct algorithm. To encourage correctness and save some tiny number of cycles, change both functions to return void. Patch by me, per an observation by Thomas Munro. No back-patch, since if any third parties happen to be using these functions, they might not appreciate an API break in a minor release.

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/.
