The vertical tightness settings collapse vertical whitespace between
opening and closing brackets (parentheses, square brakets and braces).
This can make data structures in particular harder to read, and is not
very consistent with our style in non-Perl code. This patch restricts
that setting to parentheses only, and reformats all the perl code
accordingly. Not applying this to parentheses has some unfortunate
effects, so the consensus is to keep the setting for parentheses and not
for the others.
The diff for this patch does highlight some places where structures
should have trailing commas. They can be added manually, as there is no
automatic tool to do so.

We need to use a stamp file to record the runs of these scripts, as
is done on the Unix side. I think I got it right, but can't test.
While at it, extend this handmade dependency logic to also check the
generating script files, as the makefiles do.

Make these scripts emit just one log message when they run, not one
per output file. The latter is way too verbose in the wake of
commit 372728b0d. The specific wording used is what already existed
in the MSVC scripts.

Historically, the initial catalog data to be installed during bootstrap
has been written in DATA() lines in the catalog header files. This had
lots of disadvantages: the format was badly underdocumented, it was
very difficult to edit the data in any mechanized way, and due to the
lack of any abstraction the data was verbose, hard to read/understand,
and easy to get wrong.
Hence, move this data into separate ".dat" files and represent it in a way
that can easily be read and rewritten by Perl scripts. The new format is
essentially "key => value" for each column; while it's a bit repetitive,
explicit labeling of each value makes the data far more readable and less
error-prone. Provide a way to abbreviate entries by omitting field values
that match a specified default value for their column. This allows removal
of a large amount of repetitive boilerplate and also lowers the barrier to
adding new columns.
Also teach genbki.pl how to translate symbolic OID references into
numeric OIDs for more cases than just "regproc"-like pg_proc references.
It can now do that for regprocedure-like references (thus solving the
problem that regproc is ambiguous for overloaded functions), operators,
types, opfamilies, opclasses, and access methods. Use this to turn
nearly all OID cross-references in the initial data into symbolic form.
This represents a very large step forward in readability and error
resistance of the initial catalog data. It should also reduce the
difficulty of renumbering OID assignments in uncommitted patches.
Also, solve the longstanding problem that frontend code that would like to
use OID macros and other information from the catalog headers often had
difficulty with backend-only code in the headers. To do this, arrange for
all generated macros, plus such other declarations as we deem fit, to be
placed in "derived" header files that are safe for frontend inclusion.
(Once clients migrate to using these pg_*_d.h headers, it will be possible
to get rid of the pg_*_fn.h headers, which only exist to quarantine code
away from clients. That is left for follow-on patches, however.)
The now-automatically-generated macros include the Anum_xxx and Natts_xxx
constants that we used to have to update by hand when adding or removing
catalog columns.
Replace the former manual method of generating OID macros for pg_type
entries with an automatic method, ensuring that all built-in types have
OID macros. (But note that this patch does not change the way that
OID macros for pg_proc entries are built and used. It's not clear that
making that match the other catalogs would be worth extra code churn.)
Add SGML documentation explaining what the new data format is and how to
work with it.
Despite being a very large change in the catalog headers, there is no
catversion bump here, because postgres.bki and related output files
haven't changed at all.

Although configure-based builds correctly define HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT when
appropriate (in both pg_config.h and ecpg_config.h), builds using the MSVC
scripts failed to do so. This currently has no impact on the backend,
since it uses that symbol nowhere; but it does prevent ecpg from
supporting "long long int". Fix that.
Also, adjust Solution.pm so that in the constructed ecpg_config.h file,
the "#if (_MSC_VER > 1200)" covers only the LONG_LONG_INT-related
#defines, not the whole file. AFAICS this was a thinko on somebody's
part: ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY should always be defined in Windows builds,
and in branches using USE_INTEGER_DATETIMES, the setting of that shouldn't
depend on the compiler version either. If I'm wrong, I imagine the
buildfarm will say so.

For performance reasons a larger segment size than the default 16MB
can be useful. A larger segment size has two main benefits: Firstly,
in setups using archiving, it makes it easier to write scripts that
can keep up with higher amounts of WAL, secondly, the WAL has to be
written and synced to disk less frequently.
But at the same time large segment size are disadvantageous for
smaller databases. So far the segment size had to be configured at
compile time, often making it unrealistic to choose one fitting to a
particularly load. Therefore change it to a initdb time setting.
This includes a breaking changes to the xlogreader.h API, which now
requires the current segment size to be configured. For that and
similar reasons a number of binaries had to be taught how to recognize
the current segment size.

In commit 9d6b160d7, I tweaked pg_config.h.win32 to use
"#define HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 1" rather than defining it as empty,

But Solution.pm injects another definition of that macro into

Per discussion, the time has come to do this. The handwriting has been
on the wall at least since 9.0 that this would happen someday, whenever
it got to be too much of a burden to support the float-timestamp option.
The triggering factor now is the discovery that there are multiple bugs
in the code that attempts to implement use of integer timestamps in the
replication protocol even when the server is built for float timestamps.
The internal float timestamps leak into the protocol fields in places.
While we could fix the identified bugs, there's a very high risk of
introducing more. Trying to build a wall that would positively prevent
mixing integer and float timestamps is more complexity than we want to
undertake to maintain a long-deprecated option. The fact that these
bugs weren't found through testing also indicates a lack of interest
in float timestamps.
This commit disables configure's --disable-integer-datetimes switch
(it'll still accept --enable-integer-datetimes, though), removes direct
references to USE_INTEGER_DATETIMES, and removes discussion of float
timestamps from the user documentation. A considerable amount of code is
rendered dead by this, but removing that will occur as separate mop-up.

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).

Solution.pm mistakenly believed that the xml option requires the xslt
option, when actually the dependency is the other way around; and it
believed that libxml requires libiconv, which is not necessarily so,
so we shouldn't enforce it here. Fix the option cross-checking logic.
Also, since AddProject already takes care of adding libxml and libxslt
include and library dependencies to every project, there's no need
for the custom code that did that in mkvcbuild. While at it, let's
handle the similar dependencies for uuid in a similar fashion.
Given the lack of field complaints about these overly strict build
dependency requirements, there seems no need for a back-patch.

This is a good bit more complicated than the average new-version stamping

the regression tests, at least in Unix builds.

Modern Perl has removed psed from its core distribution, so it might not
be readily available on some build platforms. We therefore replace its
use with a Perl script generated by s2p, which is equivalent to the sed

new hard dependency on Perl for non-Windows tarball builds.

This is a long-standing inconsistency that was probably just missed when
we got 64 bit MSVC builds. This brings the platform into line with all
other systems.
Code like
open(P, "cl /? 2>&1 |") || die "cl command not found";
does not actually catch any errors, because the exit status of the
command before the pipe is ignored. The fix is to look at $?.
This also gave the opportunity to clean up the logic of this code a bit.
This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL
implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines,
USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which
is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is
the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is
supposed to be used for implementation-independent code.
The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw
I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it
possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids
a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance
difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the
effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring.

Alvaro Herrera, Andreas Karlsson, Jeff Janes.
Unlike "make" itself, the MSVC build process recognized a continuation
even with whitespace after the backslash. (Due to a typo, some code
sites accepted the letter "s" instead of whitespace). Also, it would
consume any number of newlines following a single backslash. This is
mere cleanup; those behaviors were unlikely to cause bugs.

In the MSVC build system we've never separated krb5 from gss,
and always built them both. Since the removal of native krb5
support, this parameter only controls GSSAPI, so rename it
accordingly.
krb5 has been deprecated since 8.3, and the recommended way to do
Kerberos authentication is using the GSSAPI authentication method
(which is still fully supported).
libpq retains the ability to identify krb5 authentication, but only
gives an error message about it being unsupported. Since all authentication
is initiated from the backend, there is no need to keep it at all
in the backend.
