We've long used "--strip-unneeded" for shared libraries but plain
"-x" for static libraries when stripping symbols with GNU strip.
There doesn't seem to be any really good reason for that though,
since --strip-unneeded produces smaller output (as "-x" alone
does not remove debug symbols). Moreover it seems that
llvm-strip, although it identifies as GNU strip, misbehaves when
given "-x" for this purpose. It's unclear whether that's
intentional or a bug in llvm-strip, but in any case it seems like
changing to use --strip-unneeded in all cases should be a win.
Note that this doesn't change our behavior when dealing with
non-GNU strip.
Per gripes from Ed Maste and Palle Girgensohn. Back-patch,
in case anyone wants to use llvm-strip with stable branches.

Generate a Makefile.global that's complete enough for PGXS to work for some
extensions. It is likely that this compatibility layer will not suffice for
every extension and not all platforms - we can expand it over time.
This allows extensions to use a single buildsystem across all the supported

this required exporting with_gnu_ld. The determination of with_gnu_ld would be
nontrivial to copy for meson PGXS compatibility. It's also nice to delete

This way we don't need RANLIB anymore, making it a bit simpler for the meson
build to generate Makefile.global for PGXS compatibility.
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, the only platforms where we didn't use AROPT=crs,

On macOS we ran ranlib after installing a static library. This was added a

macOS versions. This is removed now.
Based on discussion with Tom, I left the 'touch' at the end of static

When building a shared library with exports.txt there's no need to build an
intermediary static library, we can just pass -Wl,-bE:... when generating the
.so.
When building a shared library without exports.txt, there's no need to call
mkldexport.sh to export all symbols, because all symbols are exported anyway,
and we don't need the export file on the import side (like we do for
postgres.imp).
This makes building .so's on aix a lot more similar to building on other
platforms. In particular, we don't create and remove a .a of the same name but
different contents anymore.

Not passing -shared to gcc when building a shared library triggers linking to
the wrong libgcc (libgcc.a instead of libgcc_s.a) and prevents emitting
correct unwind information. It's somewhat surprising that this hasn't caused
known problems so far.
Doing so requires adding path to libgcc to libpath, or linking statically to
libgcc - as the latter increases .so size substantially (for not entirely
obvious reasons), shared linking seems preferrable. It likely is worth
building executables with -shared-libgcc too, but I've not done that here.

Until now postgres built extension libraries with global visibility, i.e.
exporting all symbols. On the one platform where that behavior is not
natively available, namely windows, we emulate it by analyzing the input files
to the shared library and exporting all the symbols therein.
Not exporting all symbols is actually desirable, as it can improve loading
speed, reduces the likelihood of symbol conflicts and can improve intra
extension library function call performance. It also makes the non-windows
builds more similar to windows builds.
Additionally, with meson implementing the export-all-symbols behavior for
windows, turns out to be more verbose than desirable.
This patch adds support for hiding symbols by default and, to counteract that,
explicit symbol visibility annotation for compilers that support
__attribute__((visibility("default"))) and -fvisibility=hidden. That is
expected to be most, if not all, compilers except msvc (for which we already
support explicit symbol export annotations).
Now that extension library symbols are explicitly exported, we don't need to
export all symbols on windows anymore, hence remove that behavior from
src/tools/msvc. The supporting code can't be removed, as we still need to
export all symbols from the main postgres binary.

macOS has traditionally used extension .dylib for shared libraries
(used at build time) and .so for dynamically loaded modules (used by
dlopen()). This complicates the build system a bit. Also, Meson uses
.dylib for both, so it would be worth unifying this in order to be
able to get equal build output.
There doesn't appear to be any reason to use any particular extension
for dlopened modules, since dlopen() will accept anything and
PostgreSQL is well-factored to be able to deal with any extension.
Other software packages that I have handy appear to be about 50/50
split on which extension they use for their plugins. So it seems
possible to change this safely.

On a couple of platforms this might save a few microseconds of build

Backpatch-through: 9.4
It's important for link commands to list *.o input files before -l
switches for libraries, as library code may not get pulled into the link
unless referenced by an earlier command-line entry. This is certainly
necessary for static libraries (.a style). Apparently on some platforms
it is also necessary for shared libraries, as reported by Donald Dong.
We often put -l switches for within-tree libraries into LDFLAGS, meaning
that link commands that list *.o files after LDFLAGS are hazardous.
Most of our link commands got this right, but a few did not. In
particular, places that relied on gmake's default implicit link rule
failed, because that puts LDFLAGS first. Fix that by overriding the
built-in rule with our own. The implicit link rules in
src/makefiles/Makefile.* for single-.o-file shared libraries mostly
got this wrong too, so fix them. I also changed the link rules for the
backend and a couple of other places for consistency, even though they
are not (currently) at risk because they aren't adding any -l switches
to LDFLAGS.
Arguably, the real problem here is that we're abusing LDFLAGS by
putting -l switches in it and we should stop doing that. But changing
that would be quite invasive, so I'm not eager to do so.
Perhaps this is a candidate for back-patching, but so far it seems
that problems can only be exhibited in test code we don't normally
build, and at least some of the problems are new in HEAD anyway.
So I'll refrain for now.

Commit be54b3777 failed on gmake 3.80 due to a chained conditional,
which on closer examination could be removed entirely with some
refactoring elsewhere for a net simplification and more robustness
against empty expansions. Along the way, add some more comments.
Also make explicit in the documentation and comments that built
headers are not removed by 'make clean', since we don't typically want
that for headers generated by a separate ./configure step, and it's
much easier to add your own 'distclean' rule or use EXTRA_CLEAN than
to try and override a deletion rule in pgxs.mk.
Per buildfarm member prariedog and comments by Michael Paquier, though
all the actual changes are my fault.
Commit df163230b overlooked the case that an out-of-tree extension
might need to build its header files (e.g. via ./configure). If it is
also doing a VPATH build, the HEADERS_* rules in the original commit
would then fail to find the files, since they would be looking only
under $(srcdir) and not in the build directory.
Fix by adding HEADERS_built and HEADERS_built_$(MODULE) which behave
like DATA_built in that they look in the build dir rather than the
source dir (and also make the files dependencies of the "all" target).
No Windows support appears to be needed for this, since it is only
relevant to out-of-tree builds (no support exists in Mkvcbuild.pm to
build extension header files in any case).
Now that we have TAP tests, a contrib module may have something useful
to do in "make check" even if it has no pg_regress-style regression
scripts, and hence no REGRESS setting. But the TAP tests will fail,
or else test the wrong installed files, unless we install the contrib
module into the temp installation. So move the bit about adding to
EXTRA_INSTALL so that it applies regardless.
We might want this in back branches in future, but for the moment
I only risked adding it to v11.

We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.
To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS. This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order. For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)
This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable. And likewise for PG_LIBS.
Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.
In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common". Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them. In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.
This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

This provides infrastructure to allow JITed code to inline code
implemented in C. This e.g. can be postgres internal functions or
extension code.
This already speeds up long running queries, by allowing the LLVM
optimizer to optimize across function boundaries. The optimization
potential currently doesn't reach its full potential because LLVM
cannot optimize the FunctionCallInfoData argument fully away, because
it's allocated on the heap rather than the stack. Fixing that is
beyond what's realistic for v11.
To be able to do that, use CLANG to convert C code to LLVM bitcode,
and have LLVM build a summary for it. That bitcode can then be used to
to inline functions at runtime. For that the bitcode needs to be
installed. Postgres bitcode goes into $pkglibdir/bitcode/postgres,
extensions go into equivalent directories. PGXS has been modified so
that happens automatically if postgres has been compiled with LLVM
support.
Currently this isn't the fastest inline implementation, modules are
reloaded from disk during inlining. That's to work around an apparent
LLVM bug, triggering an apparently spurious error in LLVM assertion
enabled builds. Once that is resolved we can remove the superfluous
read from disk.
Docs will follow in a later commit containing docs for the whole JIT
feature.

On some platforms, -fpic fails for sufficiently large shared libraries.
We've mostly not hit that boundary yet, but there are some extensions

Remove configure's checks for HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS, HAVE_SIGPROCMASK, and
HAVE_SIGSETJMP. These APIs are required by the Single Unix Spec v2
(POSIX 1997), which we generally consider to define our minimum required
set of Unix APIs. Moreover, no buildfarm member has reported not having
them since 2012 or before, which means that even if the code is still live
somewhere, it's untested --- and we've made plenty of signal-handling
changes of late. So just take these APIs as given and save the cycles for
configure probes for them.
However, we can't remove as much C code as I'd hoped, because the Windows
port evidently still uses the non-POSIX code paths for signal masking.
Since we're largely emulating these BSD-style APIs for Windows anyway, it
might be a good thing to switch over to POSIX-like notation and thereby
remove a few more #ifdefs. But I'm not in a position to code or test that.
In the meantime, we can at least make things a bit more transparent by
testing for WIN32 explicitly in these places.
Commit 0ffc201a51 included this object
unconditionally. Being unprepared for that, most external, single-file
modules failed to build. This better aligns the GNU make build system
with the heuristic in the MSVC build's Project::AddDirResourceFile().
In-tree, installed modules set PGFILEDESC, so they will see no change.
Also, under PGXS, omit the nonfunctioning rule to build win32ver.rc.
Back-patch to 9.5, where the aforementioned commit first appeared.
The PGXS-case directory does not exist in the non-PGXS case, and vice
versa. Add one or the other, not both. This is essentially cosmetic.
It makes Makefile.win32 more like the similar Makefile.global code.
Responsibility was formerly split between Makefile.global and pgxs.mk.
As a result of commit b58233c71b, in the
PGXS case, these variables were unset while parsing Makefile.global and
callees. Inclusion of Makefile.custom did not work from PGXS, and the
subtle difference seemed like a recipe for future bugs. Back-patch to
9.4, where that commit first appeared.
The "check" target no longer needs to depend on "all", because it now
runs "install" directly, which in turn depends on "all". Doing both
will cause problems with parallel make, because two builds will run next
to each other.
Also remove the redirection of the temp-install output into a log file.
This was appropriate when this was done from within pg_regress, but now
it's just a regular make run, and especially with the above changes this
will now take the place of running the "all" target before the test
suites.
