Print the actual value of each function result that's expected to be exact,
rather than merely emitting a NULL if it's not right. Although we print
these with extra_float_digits = 3, we should not trust that the platform
will produce a result visibly different from the expected value if it's off
only in the last place; hence, also include comparisons against the exact
values as before. This is a bit bulkier and uglier than the previous
printout, but it will provide more information and be easier to interpret
if there's a test failure.
Discussion: <18241.1461073100@sss.pgh.pa.us>
The implementations go to some lengths to deliver exact results for values
where an exact result can be expected, such as sind(30) = 0.5 exactly.

This reverts commit 500cf66d55. As was
more or less expected, a small minority of platforms won't accept
denormalized input even with the recent changes. It doesn't seem
especially helpful to test this if we're going to have to provide an
alternate expected-file to allow failure.
This was submitted with the previous patch, but I'm committing it
separately to ease backing it out if these results prove too unportable.

the fact that NetBSD/mips is currently broken, as per buildfarm member pika.
Also add regression tests to ensure that get_float8_nan and get_float4_nan
are exercised even on platforms where they are not needed by
float8in/float4in.

as well as the existing pg_catalog entries for prefix and postfix %.
These have never been documented, though they did appear in one old
regression test. This avoids surprising behavior in cases like
"SELECT -25 % -10". Per recent discussion.
Note: although there is a catalog change here, I did not force initdb
since there's no harm in leaving the inaccessible entries in one's
copy of pg_operator.
in UPDATE. We also now issue a NOTICE if a query has _any_ implicit
range table entries -- in the past, we would only warn about implicit
RTEs in SELECTs with at least one explicit RTE.
As a result of the warning change, 25 of the regression tests had to
be updated. I also took the opportunity to remove some bogus whitespace
differences between some of the float4 and float8 variants. I believe
I have correctly updated all the platform-specific variants, but let
me know if that's not the case.
Original patch for DELETE ... USING from Euler Taveira de Oliveira,
reworked by Neil Conway.
Regression tests and documentation have both been updated.
SQL2003 requires that both ceiling() and ceil() be present, so I have
documented both spellings. SQL2003 doesn't mention pow() as far as I
can see, so I decided to replace pow() with power() in the documentation:
there is little reason to encourage the continued usage of a function
that isn't compliant with the standard, given a standard-compliant
alternative.
RELEASE NOTES: should state that pow() is considered deprecated
(although I don't see the need to ever remove it.)

this. Remove the UNSAFE_FLOATS #ifdef.
This is only half the story: we still unconditionally reject
floating point operations that result in +/- infinity. See
recent thread on -hackers for more information.
any amount of leading or trailing whitespace (where "whitespace"
is defined by isspace()). This is for SQL conformance, as well
as consistency with other numeric types (e.g. oid, numeric).
Also refactor pg_atoi() to avoid looking at errno where not
necessary, and add a bunch of regression tests for the input
to these types.
specifically ceil(), floor(), and sign(). There may be other functions
that need to be added, but this is a start. I've included some simple
regression tests.

cases in the union test and actually removes a special case for the
numerology test. Thus, following the strategy outlined below is a
definite improvement over the previous situation.
