Tom Lane fd85e9f78d Avoid statically allocating formatting.c's format string caches.
This eliminates circa 120KB of static data from Postgres' memory
footprint.  In some usage patterns that space will get allocated
anyway, but in many processes it never will be allocated.

We can improve matters further by allocating only as many cache
entries as we actually use, rather than allocating the whole array
on first use.  However, to avoid wasting lots of space due to
palloc's habit of rounding requests up to power-of-2 sizes, tweak
the maximum cacheable format string length to make the struct sizes
be powers of 2 or just less.  The sizes I chose make the maximums
a little bit less than they were before, but I doubt it matters much.

While at it, rearrange struct FormatNode to avoid wasting quite so
much padding space.  This change actually halves the size of that
struct on 64-bit machines.

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/.
