Gen_fmgrtab.pl creates a new file fmgrprotos.h, which contains
prototypes for all functions registered in pg_proc.h.  This avoids
having to manually maintain these prototypes across a random variety of
header files.  It also automatically enforces a correct function
signature, and since there are warnings about missing prototypes, it
will detect functions that are defined but not registered in
pg_proc.h (or otherwise used).

I'd supposed that people would do this manually when creating new operator
classes, but the folly of that was exposed today.  The tests seem fast
enough that we can just apply them during the normal regression tests.

contrib/isn fails the checks for lack of complete sets of cross-type
operators.  That's a nice-to-have policy rather than a functional
requirement, so leave it as-is, but insert ORDER BY in the query to
ensure consistent cross-platform output.

In commits 9ff60273 and dbe23289 I (tgl) fixed the
signatures of a bunch of contrib's GIN and GIST support functions so that
they would pass validation by the recently-added amvalidate functions.
The backend does not actually consult or check those signatures otherwise,
so I figured this was basically cosmetic and did not require an extension
version bump.  However, Alexander Korotkov pointed out that that would
leave us in a pretty messy situation if we ever wanted to redefine those
functions later, because there wouldn't be a unique way to name them.
Since we're going to be bumping these extensions' versions anyway for
parallel-query cleanups, let's take care of this now.

Andreas Karlsson, adjusted for more search-path-safety by me

Fix still another bug in commit 35fcb1b3: it failed to fully initialize
the SortSupport states it introduced to allow the executor to re-check
ORDER BY expressions containing distance operators.  That led to a null
pointer dereference if the sortsupport code tried to use ssup_cxt.  The
problem only manifests in narrow cases, explaining the lack of previous
field reports.  It requires a GiST-indexable distance operator that lacks
SortSupport and is on a pass-by-ref data type, which among core+contrib
seems to be only btree_gist's interval opclass; and it requires the scan
to be done as an IndexScan not an IndexOnlyScan, which explains how
btree_gist's regression test didn't catch it.  Per bug #14134 from
Jihyun Yu.

Report: <20160511154904.2603.43889@wrigleys.postgresql.org>

Buildfarm member skink failed with symptoms suggesting that an
auto-analyze had happened and changed the plan displayed for a
test query.  Although this is evidently of low probability,
regression tests that sometimes fail are no fun, so add commands
to force a bitmap scan to be chosen.

The conventions specified by the GiST SGML documentation were widely
ignored.  For example, the strategy-number argument for "consistent" and
"distance" functions is specified to be a smallint, but most of the
built-in support functions declared it as an integer, and for that matter
the core code passed it using Int32GetDatum not Int16GetDatum.  None of
that makes any real difference at runtime, but it's quite confusing for
newcomers to the code, and it makes it very hard to write an amvalidate()
function that checks support function signatures.  So let's try to instill
some consistency here.

Another similar issue is that the "query" argument is not of a single
well-defined type, but could have different types depending on the strategy
(corresponding to search operators with different righthand-side argument
types).  Some of the functions threw up their hands and declared the query
argument as being of "internal" type, which surely isn't right ("any" would
have been more appropriate); but the majority position seemed to be to
declare it as being of the indexed data type, corresponding to a search
operator with both input types the same.  So I've specified a convention
that that's what to do always.

Also, the result of the "union" support function actually must be of the
index's storage type, but the documentation suggested declaring it to
return "internal", and some of the functions followed that.  Standardize
on telling the truth, instead.

Similarly, standardize on declaring the "same" function's inputs as
being of the storage type, not "internal".

Also, somebody had forgotten to add the "recheck" argument to both
the documentation of the "distance" support function and all of their
SQL declarations, even though the C code was happily using that argument.
Clean that up too.

Fix up some other omissions in the docs too, such as documenting that
union's second input argument is vestigial.

So far as the errors in core function declarations go, we can just fix
pg_proc.h and bump catversion.  Adjusting the erroneous declarations in
contrib modules is more debatable: in principle any change in those
scripts should involve an extension version bump, which is a pain.
However, since these changes are purely cosmetic and make no functional
difference, I think we can get away without doing that.

Oskari Saarenmaa. Backpatch to stable branches where applicable.

In 83ff1618 we defined integer limits iff they're not provided by the
system. That turns out not to be the greatest idea because there's
different ways some datatypes can be represented. E.g. on OSX PG's 64bit
datatype will be a 'long int', but OSX unconditionally uses 'long
long'. That disparity then can lead to warnings, e.g. around printf
formats.

One way to fix that would be to back int64 using stdint.h's
int64_t. While a good idea it's not that easy to implement. We would
e.g. need to include stdint.h in our external headers, which we don't
today. Also computing the correct int64 printf formats in that case is
nontrivial.

Instead simply prefix the integer limits with PG_ and define them
unconditionally. I've adjusted all the references to them in code, but
not the ones in comments; the latter seems unnecessary to me.

The previous coding in get_const_expr() tried to avoid quoting integer,
float, and numeric literals if at all possible.  While that looks nice,
it means that dumped expressions might re-parse to something that's
semantically equivalent but not the exact same parsetree; for example
a FLOAT8 constant would re-parse as a NUMERIC constant with a cast to
FLOAT8.  Though the result would be the same after constant-folding,
this is problematic in certain contexts.  In particular, Jeff Davis
pointed out that this could cause unexpected failures in ALTER INHERIT
operations because of child tables having not-exactly-equivalent CHECK
expressions.  Therefore, favor correctness over legibility and dump
such constants in quotes except in the limited cases where they'll
be interpreted as the same type even without any casting.

This results in assorted small changes in the regression test outputs,
and will affect display of user-defined views and rules similarly.
The odds of that causing problems in the field seem non-negligible;
given the lack of previous complaints, it seems best not to change
this in the back branches.

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.

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.

gist_poly_compress() and gist_circle_compress() checked for a NULL-pointer
key argument, but that was dead code; the gist code never passes a
NULL-pointer to the "compress" method.

This commit also removes a documentation note added in commit a0a3883d,
about doing NULL-pointer checks in the "compress" method. It was added
based on the fact that some implementations were doing NULL-pointer
checks, but those checks were unnecessary in the first place.

The NULL-pointer check in gbt_var_same() function was also unnecessary.
The arguments to the "same" method come from the "compress", "union", or
"picksplit" methods, but none of them return a NULL pointer.

None of this is to be confused with SQL NULL values. Those are dealt with
by the gist machinery, and are never passed to the GiST opclass methods.

Up to now, PG has assumed that any given timezone abbreviation (such as
"EDT") represents a constant GMT offset in the usage of any particular
region; we had a way to configure what that offset was, but not for it
to be changeable over time.  But, as with most things horological, this
view of the world is too simplistic: there are numerous regions that have
at one time or another switched to a different GMT offset but kept using
the same timezone abbreviation.  Almost the entire Russian Federation did
that a few years ago, and later this month they're going to do it again.
And there are similar examples all over the world.

To cope with this, invent the notion of a "dynamic timezone abbreviation",
which is one that is referenced to a particular underlying timezone
(as defined in the IANA timezone database) and means whatever it currently
means in that zone.  For zones that use or have used daylight-savings time,
the standard and DST abbreviations continue to have the property that you
can specify standard or DST time and get that time offset whether or not
DST was theoretically in effect at the time.  However, the abbreviations
mean what they meant at the time in question (or most recently before that
time) rather than being absolutely fixed.

The standard abbreviation-list files have been changed to use this behavior
for abbreviations that have actually varied in meaning since 1970.  The
old simple-numeric definitions are kept for abbreviations that have not
changed, since they are a bit faster to resolve.

While this is clearly a new feature, it seems necessary to back-patch it
into all active branches, because otherwise use of Russian zone
abbreviations is going to become even more problematic than it already was.
This change supersedes the changes in commit 513d06de et al to modify the
fixed meanings of the Russian abbreviations; since we've not shipped that
yet, this will avoid an undesirably incompatible (not to mention incorrect)
change in behavior for timestamps between 2011 and 2014.

This patch makes some cosmetic changes in ecpglib to keep its usage of
datetime lookup tables as similar as possible to the backend code, but
doesn't do anything about the increasingly obsolete set of timezone
abbreviation definitions that are hard-wired into ecpglib.  Whatever we
do about that will likely not be appropriate material for back-patching.
Also, a potential free() of a garbage pointer after an out-of-memory
failure in ecpglib has been fixed.

This patch also fixes pre-existing bugs in DetermineTimeZoneOffset() that
caused it to produce unexpected results near a timezone transition, if
both the "before" and "after" states are marked as standard time.  We'd
only ever thought about or tested transitions between standard and DST
time, but that's not what's happening when a zone simply redefines their
base GMT offset.

In passing, update the SGML documentation to refer to the Olson/zoneinfo/
zic timezone database as the "IANA" database, since it's now being
maintained under the auspices of IANA.

Some of the many error messages introduced in 458857cc missed 'FROM
unpackaged'. Also e016b724 and 45ffeb7e forgot to quote extension
version numbers.

Backpatch to 9.1, just like 458857cc which introduced the messages. Do
so because the error messages thrown when the wrong command is copy &
pasted aren't easy to understand.

Prominent binaries already had this metadata.  A handful of minor
binaries, such as pg_regress.exe, still lack it; efforts to eliminate
such exceptions are welcome.

A couple of functions didn't bother to zero out pad bytes in datums that
would ultimately go to disk.  Harmless, but valgrind doesn't know that.

gbt_macad_union also allocated 12-byte structs where we really need 16.

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

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.

The code expands a varbit gist leaf key to a node key by copying the bit
data twice in a varlen datum, as both the lower and upper key. The lower key
was expanded to INTALIGN size, but the padding bytes were not initialized.
That's a problem because when the lower/upper keys are compared, the padding
bytes are used compared too, when the values are otherwise equal. That could
lead to incorrect query results.

REINDEX is advised for any btree_gist indexes on bit or bit varying data
type, to fix any garbage padding bytes on disk.

Per Valgrind, reported by Andres Freund. Backpatch to all supported
versions.

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.

This is the first run of the Perl-based pgindent script.  Also update
pgindent instructions.

The previous coding supposed that the first differing bytes in two varlena
datums must have the same sign difference as their overall comparison
result.  This is obviously bogus for text strings in non-C locales, and
probably wrong for numeric, and even for bytea I think it was wrong on
machines where char is signed.  When the assumption failed, the function
could deliver a zero or negative penalty in situations where such a result
is quite ridiculous, leading the core GiST code to make very bad page-split
decisions.

To fix, take the absolute values of the byte-level differences.  Also,
switch the code to using unsigned char not just char, so that the behavior
will be consistent whether char is signed or not.

Per investigation of a trouble report from Tomas Vondra.  Back-patch to all
supported branches.

gbt_var_bin_union() failed to do the right thing when the existing range
needed to be widened at both ends rather than just one end.  This could
result in an invalid index in which keys that are present would not be
found by searches, because the searches would not think they need to
descend to the relevant leaf pages.  This error affected all the varlena
datatypes supported by btree_gist (text, bytea, bit, numeric).

Per investigation of a trouble report from Tomas Vondra.  (There is also
an issue in gbt_var_penalty(), but that should only result in inefficiency
not wrong answers.  I'm committing this separately so that we have a git
state in which it can be tested that bad penalty results don't produce
invalid indexes.)  Back-patch to all supported branches.

Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers, these messages are too
chatty for most users.

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.

We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql.  Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension.  To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.

Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's.  Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.

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.

As per my recent proposal, this refactors things so that these typedefs and
macros are available in a header that can be included in frontend-ish code.
I also changed various headers that were undesirably including
utils/timestamp.h to include datatype/timestamp.h instead.  Unsurprisingly,
this showed that half the system was getting utils/timestamp.h by way of
xlog.h.

No actual code changes here, just header refactoring.

remove from local *.h files.

Per suggestion from Alvaro.

Added a new option --extra-install to pg_regress to arrange installing
the respective contrib directory into the temporary installation.
This is currently not yet supported for Windows MSVC builds.

Updated the .gitignore files for contrib modules to ignore the
leftovers of a temp-install check run.

Changed the exit status of "make check" in a pgxs build (which still
does nothing) to 0 from 1.

Added "make check" in contrib to top-level "make check-world".

Make use of the collation attached to the index column, instead of
hard-wiring DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID.  (Note: in theory this could require
reindexing btree_gist indexes on textual columns, but I rather doubt anyone
has one with a non-default declared collation as yet.)

Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function,
FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in
cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need
different collation settings.  Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData
instead.  In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp
not working).  This requires touching a bit more code than the original
method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive
patch...
