kwlist.h, to avoid having to link the backend object file into other programs
like pg_dump.  We can now simply symlink a single source file from the backend
(kwlookup.c, containing the shared routine ScanKeywordLookup) and compile it
locally, which is a lot cleaner.

amgettuple or only implement amgetbitmap, instead of the former assumption
that every AM supports both APIs.  Extracted with minor editorialization
from Teodor's fast-GIN-insert patch; whatever becomes of that, this seems
like a simple and reasonable generalization of the index AM interface spec.

attribute numbering.  Also, a parent whole-row reference should not require
select privilege on child columns that aren't inherited from the parent.
Problem diagnosed by KaiGai Kohei, though this isn't exactly his patch.

later than 7.3 on such cases, but they still exist, as per André Volpato's
report about AIX 5.3.

"syntax error", not the literal string.  I was previously confused on this
matter, but I have now verified that everything is translated properly.

cause confusion.

composite, enum and array types, as those are surely not binary-compatible
with anything else because of the embedded OIDs.

unused nonstandard error code that was perhaps intended for this but never

This avoids irritating kernel logs (if system overstep violations are enabled)
and also the grsecurity alert when starting PostgreSQL.

any other child process, but those two are the only ones running), send
SIGQUIT to the startup process using correct pid.

As pointed out by ITAGAKI Takahiro, we split SInvalLock into two in 8.4,
so to keep the numbers of the rest of the locks unchanged from 8.3, we
don't need a placeholder.

encoding conversion of any elog/ereport message being sent to the frontend.
This generalizes a patch that I put in last October, which suppressed
translation of only specific messages known to be associated with recursive
can't-translate-the-message behavior.  As shown in bug #4680, we need a more
general answer in order to have some hope of coping with broken encoding
conversion setups.  This approach seems a good deal less klugy anyway.

Patch in all supported branches.

- pg_wchar and wchar_t could have different size, so char2wchar
  doesn't call pg_mb2wchar_with_len to prevent out-of-bound
  memory bug
- make char2wchar/wchar2char symmetric, now they should not be
  called with C-locale because mbstowcs/wcstombs oftenly doesn't
  work correct with C-locale.
- Text parser uses pg_mb2wchar_with_len directly in case of
  C-locale and multibyte encoding

Backpatch up to 8.2 when multybyte support was implemented in tsearch.

fail on zero-length inputs.  This isn't an issue in normal use because the
conversion infrastructure skips calling the converters for empty strings.
However a problem was created by yesterday's patch to check whether the
right conversion function is supplied in CREATE CONVERSION.  The most
future-proof fix seems to be to make the converters safe for this corner case.

but testing shows that the case of both inputs NIL is common enough that
it saves something.  And this is used enough to be a hotspot.

to 100ms (from 1000).  This still seems to be comfortably larger than the
useful range of the parameter, and it should help discourage people from
picking uselessly large values.  Tweak the documentation to recommend small

the ON clause of an outer join.  Doing so is semantically correct but results
in de-optimizing queries that were structured to take advantage of the sublink
style of execution, as seen in recent complaint from Kevin Grittner.  Since
the user can get the other behavior by reorganizing his query, having the
flattening happen automatically is just a convenience, and that doesn't
justify breaking existing applications.  Eventually it would be nice to
re-enable this, but that seems to require a significantly different approach
to outer joins in the executor.

function for the specified source and destination encodings. We do that by
calling the function with an empty string. If it can't perform the requested
conversion, it will throw an error.

looks for a CaseTestExpr to figure out what the parser did, but it failed to
consider the possibility that an implicit coercion might be inserted above
the CaseTestExpr.  This could result in an Assert failure in some cases
