inet, cidr, and timetz indexes still cannot support index-only scans,
because they don't store the original unmodified value in the index, but a
derived approximate value.

The gbt_var_key_copy function was doing two different things depending on
the boolean argument. Seems cleaner to have two separate functions.

Remove unused argument from gbt_num_compress.

The macaddr opclass stores two macaddr structs (each of size 6) in an
index column that's declared as being of type gbtreekey16, ie 16 bytes.
In the original coding this led to passing a palloc'd value of size 12
to the index insertion code, so that data would be fetched past the
end of the allocated value during index tuple construction.  This makes
valgrind unhappy.  In principle it could result in a SIGSEGV, though
with the current implementation of palloc there's no risk since
the 12-byte request size would be rounded up to 16 bytes anyway.

To fix, add a field to struct gbtree_ninfo showing the declared size of
the index datums, and use that in the palloc requests; and use palloc0
to be sure that any wasted bytes are cleanly initialized.

Per report from Andres Freund.  No back-patch since there's no current
risk of a real problem.

Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically
loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration.  This is
meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files,
but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant.
Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of
compiler warnings in extension modules.

We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway.  That
makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where
the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that
functions have the right prototype.

Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.

This addresses only those cases that are easy to fix by adding or
moving a const qualifier or removing an unnecessary cast.  There are
many more complicated cases remaining.

remove from local *.h files.

Per suggestion from Alvaro.

This extends GiST's support for nearest-neighbor searches to many of the
standard data types.

optimization, so don't backpatch.

provided by Andrew.

This particular batch was just for *.c and *.h file.

The changes were made with the following 2 commands:

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | while read file ; do head -n 1 < $file | grep -q '^/\*' && echo $file; done | xargs -l sed -i -e '1s/^\// /' -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n *'

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | xargs -l sed -i -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n */'

where Datum is 8 bytes wide.  Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior.  Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

Zoltan Boszormenyi, plus configurability stuff by me.

"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion.  The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes.  In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.

Tom Lane, after an idea of Heikki's, and with some help from Teodor.

- Fix wrong index results on text, char, varchar for multibyte strings
- Fix some SIGFPE signals
- Add support for infinite timestamps
- Because of locale settings, btree_gist can not be a prefix index anymore (for text).
  Each node holds now just the lower and upper boundary.

- Add aligment for interval data types
- Avoid floating point overflow in penalty functions
Janko Richter <jankorichter@yahoo.de> and teodor

New version. Add support for int2, int8, float4, float8, timestamp with/without time zone, time with/without time zone, date, interval, oid, money and macaddr, char, varchar/text, bytea, numeric, bit, varbit, inet/cidr types for GiST
