mainloop.c. This ensures that postgres_fe.h is read before including
any system headers, which is necessary to avoid problems on some platforms
where we make nondefault selections of feature macros for stdio.h or
other headers. We have had this policy for flex modules in the backend
for many years, but for some reason it was not applied to psql.

results (ie, an empty "broken" buffer) if memory overrun occurs anywhere
along the way to filling the buffer. The previous coding would just silently
discard portions of the intended buffer contents, as exhibited in trouble
report from Sam Mason. Also, tweak psql's main loop to correctly detect
and report such overruns. There's probably much more that should be done
in this line, but this is a start.
Basically just reuse the same text that psql emitted as part of
its startup banner in prior versions, and make some whitespace
more consistent with the conventions in other psql command output.
existing for backend GUC variables, and use this to eliminate repeated
fetching/parsing of psql variables in psql's inner loops. In a trivial
test with lots of 'select 1;' commands, psql's CPU time went down almost
10%, although of course the effect on total elapsed time was much less.
Per discussion about how to ensure the upcoming FETCH_COUNT patch doesn't
cost any performance when not being used.
places --- that risks corrupting data structures, losing sync with the
backend, etc. We now longjmp only from calls to readline, fgets, and
fread, which we assume are coded to protect themselves against interrupts
at undesirable times. This requires adding explicit tests for
cancel_pressed in long-running loops, but on the whole it's far cleaner.

Currently, while \e saves a single statement as one entry, interactive
statements are saved one line at a time. Ideally all statements
would be saved like \e does.

recent discussion. The lexer is used for both SQL command text and
backslash commands. The purpose of this change is to make it easier to
track the behavior of the backend's SQL lexer --- essentially identical
flex rules are now used by psql. Also, this cleans up a lot of very
squirrelly code in mainloop.c and command.c. The flex code is somewhat
bulkier than the removed code, but should be lots easier to maintain.
little more sane. Some parts of the code was using a static function
xmalloc() that did safe memory allocation (where "safe" means "bail
out on OOM"), but most of it was just invoking calloc() or malloc()
directly. Now almost everything invokes xmalloc() or xcalloc().
now, my changes seem to work. Some possible minor bugs got squished
on the way but I can't be sure without more feedback from people who
really put the code to the test.
The new patch mostly simplifies variable handling and reduces code
duplication. Changes in the command parser eliminate some redundant
variables (boolean state + depth counter), replaces some
"else if" constructs with switches, and so on. It is meant to be
applied together with my previous patch, although I hope they don't
conflict; I went back to the CVS version for this one.
One more thing I thought should perhaps be changed: an IGNOREEOF
value of n will ignore only n-1 EOFs. I didn't want to touch this
for fear of breaking existing applications, but it does seem a tad
illogical.

7.3.2). It removes some code duplication and #ifdeffing, and some
unstructured ugliness such as tacky breaks and an unneeded continue.
Breaks up a large function into smaller functions and reduces required
nesting levels, and kills a variable or two.
