Fixed.

valgrind: a buffer passed to strncmp() had to be NUL-terminated. Original
report and patch from Dennis Bjorkland, some cleanup by Andrew Dunstan,
and finally some editorializing from Neil Conway.

Not sure how this mistake evaded detection for so long.

then release locks and loop over renaming to active file name.

 * configure + Makefile changes
 * shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent
cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only)
 * PATH env var separator differences
 * missing win32 rand functions added
 * placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h


To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached
patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some
definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to
first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking
for a patch :-):

        * child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to
put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)

        * dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls

        * dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro

        * slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir
(fixed by next version of MingW)

Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start,
and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just
don't expect too much else from it at this point...

some time ago and recent patch from Gavin Sherry.  Update documentation
to point out that trailing spaces are insignificant in char(n).

with
    appendStringInfoString(buf, str);
as the latter form is slightly faster.

cosmetic cleanup in nearby code.

Change PG_USLEEP to use SleepEx() for signal interuptability.

whereToSendOutput instead because they are really inquiring about
the correct client communication protocol.  Update some comments.
This is pointing towards supporting regular FE/BE client protocol
in a standalone backend, per discussion a month or so back.

unnecessary checks for complex grouping expressions: we cannot check
whether the expressions are simple Vars until after we apply
flatten_join_alias_vars, because in the case of FULL JOIN that routine
can introduce non-Var expressions.  Per example from Joel Knight.

composite types, because TupleTableSlots aren't Datums and can't be
stored in Const nodes.  We can remove this restriction if we ever
adopt a cleaner runtime representation for whole-tuple results, but
at the moment it's broken.  Per example from Thomas Hallgren.

against the latest shapshot. It also includes the replacement of kill()
with pqkill() and sigsetmask() with pqsigsetmask().

Passes all tests fine on my linux machine once applied. Still doesn't
link completely on Win32 - there are a few things still required. But
much closer than before.

At Bruce's request, I'm goint to write up a README file about the method
of signals delivery chosen and why the others were rejected (basically a
summary of the mailinglist discussions). I'll finish that up once/if the
patch is accepted.

of close-time failures on some filesystems.  There is a TODO item for
this, too.

IN (sub-SELECT) constructs.  We must force a clauseless join of the
sub-select member relations, but it wasn't happening because the code
thought it would be able to use the join clause arising from the IN.

that it's good to join where there are join clauses rather than where there
are not.  Also enable it to generate bushy plans at need, so that it doesn't
fail in the presence of multiple IN clauses containing sub-joins.  These
changes appear to improve the behavior enough that we can substantially reduce
the default pool size and generations count, thereby decreasing the runtime,
and yet get as good or better plans as we were getting in 7.4.  Consequently,
adjust the default GEQO parameters.  I also modified the way geqo_effort is
used so that it affects both population size and number of generations;
it's now useful as a single control to adjust the GEQO runtime-vs-plan-quality
tradeoff.  Bump geqo_threshold to 12, since even with these changes GEQO
seems to be slower than the regular planner at 11 relations.

patch: a 3-value enum was mistakenly assigned directly to a 'bool'
in transformCreateStmt(). Along the way, change makeObjectName()
to be static, as it isn't used outside analyze.c

default value for geqo_effort is supposed to be 40, not 1.  The actual
'genetic' component of the GEQO algorithm has been practically disabled
since 7.1 because of this mistake.  Improve documentation while at it.

should not be too eager to reject paths involving unknown schemas, since
it can't really tell whether the schemas exist in the target database.
(Also, when reading pg_dumpall output, it could be that the schemas
don't exist yet, but eventually will.)  ALTER USER SET has a similar issue.
So, reduce the normal ERROR to a NOTICE when checking search_path values
for these commands.  Supporting this requires changing the API for GUC
assign_hook functions, which causes the patch to touch a lot of places,
but the changes are conceptually trivial.

we have detected that an IN subquery must return unique results.

UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT (without ALL).  This adds on to the previous

dynamically loaded C functions).  Some limited testing suggests that
this puts the lookup speed for external functions just about on par
with built-in functions.  Per discussion with Eric Ridge.
