differ by more than the last directory component. Instead of insisting
that they match up to the last component, accept whatever common prefix
they have, and try to replace the non-matching part of bin_path with
the non-matching part of target_path in the actual executable's path.
In one way this is tighter than the old code, because it insists on
a match to the part of bin_path we want to substitute for, rather than
blindly stripping one directory component from the executable's path.
Per gripe from Martin Pitt and subsequent discussion.
Also make the code more robust by searching for target encoding
in the internal charset map.
Problem reported by Sagi Bashari on 2005/12/21.

equal: if strcoll claims two strings are equal, check it with strcmp, and
sort according to strcmp if not identical. This fixes inconsistent
behavior under glibc's hu_HU locale, and probably under some other locales
as well. Also, take advantage of the now-well-defined behavior to speed up
texteq, textne, bpchareq, bpcharne: they may as well just do a bitwise
comparison and not bother with strcoll at all.
NOTE: affected databases may need to REINDEX indexes on text columns to be
sure they are self-consistent.
Per my recent proposal. I ended up basing the implementation on the
existing mechanism for enforcing valid join orders of IN joins --- the
rules for valid outer-join orders are somewhat similar.
file. The original code probed the PGPROC array separately for each PID,
which was not good for large numbers of backends: not only is the runtime
O(N^2) but most of it is spent holding ProcArrayLock. Instead, take the
lock just once and copy the active PIDs into an array, then use qsort
and bsearch so that the lookup time is more like O(N log N).
messages, when client attempts to execute these outside a transaction (start
one) or in a failed transaction (reject message, except for COMMIT/ROLLBACK
statements which we can handle). Per report from Francisco Figueiredo Jr.
reduce contention for the former single LockMgrLock. Per my recent
proposal. I set it up for 16 partitions, but on a pgbench test this
gives only a marginal further improvement over 4 partitions --- we need
to test more scenarios to choose the number of partitions.
that simplify_boolean_equality() may leave behind. This is only relevant
if the user writes something a bit silly, like CASE x=y WHEN TRUE THEN.
Per example from Michael Fuhr; may or may not explain bug #2106.
the data defining the semantics of a lock method (ie, conflict resolution
table and ancillary data, which is all constant) and the hash tables
storing the current state. The only thing we give up by this is the
ability to use separate hashtables for different lock methods, but there
is no need for that anyway. Put some extra fields into the LockMethod
definition structs to clean up some other uglinesses, like hard-wired
tests for DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD and USER_LOCKMETHOD. This commit doesn't
do anything about the performance issues we were discussing, but it clears
away some of the underbrush that's in the way of fixing that.

I have the problem, when building by MS-VC6.
An error occurs in the 8.1.0 present source codes.
nmake -f win32.mak
..\..\port\getaddrinfo.c(244) : error C2065: 'WSA_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY'
..\..\port\getaddrinfo.c(342) : error C2065: 'WSATYPE_NOT_FOUND'
This is used by winsock2.h. However, Construction of a windows base is
winsock.h.
Then, Since MinGW has special environment, this is right. but, it is not
found in VC6.
Furthermore, in getaddrinfo.c, IPV6-API is used by
LoadLibraryA("ws2_32");
Referring to of dll the external memory generates this violation by VC6
specification.
I considered whether the whole should have been converted into winsock2.
However, Now, DLL of MinGW creation operates wonderfully as it is.
That's right, it has pliability by replacement of simple DLL.
Then, I propose the system using winsock(non IPV6) in construction of
VC6.

_bt_checkkeys(), instead of checking it in the top-level nbtree.c routines
as formerly. This saves a little bit of loop overhead, but more importantly
it lets us skip performing the index key comparisons for dead tuples.
checks, which were once needed because PageGetMaxOffsetNumber would
fail on empty pages, but are now just redundant. Also, don't set up
local variables that aren't needed in the fast path --- most of the
time, we only need to advance offnum and not step across a page boundary.
Motivated by noticing _bt_step at the top of OProfile profile for a
pgbench run.
SLRU area. The number of slots is still a compile-time constant (someday
we might want to change that), but at least it's a different constant for
each SLRU area. Increase number of subtrans buffers to 32 based on
experimentation with a heavily subtrans-bashing test case, and increase
number of multixact member buffers to 16, since it's obviously silly for
it not to be at least twice the number of multixact offset buffers.
lock, not exclusive, if the desired page is already in memory. This can
be demonstrated to be a significant win on the pg_subtrans cache when there
is a large window of open transactions. It should be useful for pg_clog
as well. I didn't try to make GetMultiXactIdMembers() use the code, as
that would have taken some restructuring, and what with the local cache
for multixact contents it probably wouldn't really make a difference.
Per my recent proposal.
clauses even if it's an outer join. This is a corner case since such
clauses could only arise from weird OUTER JOIN ON conditions, but worth
fixing. Per example from Ron at cheapcomplexdevices.com.
incorrect implementation of argument reordering, arbitrary limit of output
size for sprintf and fprintf, willingness to access more bytes than "%.Ns"
specification allows, wrong formatting of LONGLONG_MIN, various field-padding
bugs and omissions. I believe it now accurately implements a subset of
the Single Unix Spec requirements (remaining unimplemented features are
documented, too). Bruce Momjian and Tom Lane.
