For upcoming BRIN opclasses, it's convenient to have strategy numbers
defined in a single place.  Since there's nothing appropriate, create
it.  The StrategyNumber typedef now lives there, as well as existing
strategy numbers for B-trees (from skey.h) and R-tree-and-friends (from
gist.h).  skey.h is forced to include stratnum.h because of the
StrategyNumber typedef, but gist.h is not; extensions that currently
rely on gist.h for rtree strategy numbers might need to add a new

A few .c files can stop including skey.h and/or gist.h, which is a nice
side benefit.

(It's not clear to me why bootscanner.l has any #include lines at all.)

Several submitted and even committed patches have run into the problem
that C89, our baseline, does not provide minimum/maximum values for
various integer datatypes. C99's stdint.h does, but we can't rely on
it.

Several parts of the code defined limits locally, so instead centralize
the definitions to c.h.

This patch also changes the more obvious usages of literal limit values;
there's more places that could be changed, but it's less clear whether
it's beneficial to change those.

Where these checks were being done there was no code path which
could leave them NULL.

This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was
applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

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.

The Solaris Studio compiler warns about these instances, unlike more
mainstream compilers such as gcc.  But manual inspection showed that
the code is clearly not reachable, and we hope no worthy compiler will
complain about removing this code.

The latter was already the dominant use, and it's preferable because
in C the convention is that intXX means XX bits.  Therefore, allowing
mixed use of int2, int4, int8, int16, int32 is obviously confusing.

Remove the typedefs for int2 and int4 for now.  They don't seem to be
widely used outside of the PostgreSQL source tree, and the few uses
can probably be cleaned up by the time this ships.

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.

The array containment operators now behave per mathematical expectation
for empty arrays (ie, an empty array is contained in anything).
Both these operators and the query_int operators now work as expected in
GiST and GIN index searches, rather than having corner cases where the
index searches gave different answers.

Also, fix unexpected failures where the operators would claim that an array
contained nulls, when in fact there was no longer any null present (similar
to bug #5784).  The restriction to not have nulls is still there, as
removing it would take a lot of added code complexity and probably slow
things down significantly.

Also, remove the arbitrary restriction to 1-D arrays; unlike the other
restriction, this was buying us nothing performance-wise.

Assorted cosmetic improvements and marginal performance improvements, too.

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 */'

unnecessary #include lines in it.  Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
files.

For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.

While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more
consistent with our header style.

"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.

avoid this problem in the future.)

This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple
(without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields.  While all available
regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and
cranny, especially in contrib.

* new split algorithm (as proposed in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00254.php)
  * possible call pickSplit() for second and below columns
  * add spl_(l|r)datum_exists to GIST_SPLITVEC -
    pickSplit should check its values to use already defined
    spl_(l|r)datum for splitting. pickSplit should set
    spl_(l|r)datum_exists to 'false' (if they was 'true') to
    signal to caller about using spl_(l|r)datum.
  * support for old pickSplit(): not very optimal
    but correct split
* remove 'bytes' field from GISTENTRY: in any case size of
  value is defined by it's type.
* split GIST_SPLITVEC to two structures: one for using in picksplit
  and second - for internal use.
* some code refactoring
* support of subsplit to rtree opclasses

more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).

comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory.  Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).

Backpatch to 8.1.X.

paths in detail ...
