it was using too soon. In a situation where pg_do_encoding_conversion is
a no-op, this led to garbage data returned.
In HEAD, also modify the code that's ensuring null termination to make it
a tad more obvious what's happening.
citext-to-and-from-xml tests, since those caused variation between
installations with or without libxml without really proving much. Instead
repurpose citext_1.out as the expected results in glibc en_US (and probably
other) locales.
and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al
(which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary
char values). Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions,
reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones.
We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still
contain many instances of the old coding style.

functions into one ReadBufferExtended function, that takes the strategy
and mode as argument. There's three modes, RBM_NORMAL which is the default
used by plain ReadBuffer(), RBM_ZERO, which replaces ZeroOrReadBuffer, and
a new mode RBM_ZERO_ON_ERROR, which allows callers to read corrupt pages
without throwing an error. The FSM needs the new mode to recover from
corrupt pages, which could happend if we crash after extending an FSM file,
and the new page is "torn".
Add fork number to some error messages in bufmgr.c, that still lacked it.
backwards scan could actually happen. In particular, pass a flag to
materialize-mode SRFs that tells them whether they need to require random
access. In passing, also suppress unneeded backward-scan overhead for a
Portal's holdStore tuplestore. Per my proposal about reducing I/O costs for
tuplestores.
via a tuplestore instead of value-per-call. Refactor a few things to reduce
ensuing code duplication with nodeFunctionscan.c. This represents the
reasonably noncontroversial part of my proposed patch to switch SQL functions
over to returning tuplestores. For the moment, SQL functions still do things
the old way. However, this change enables PL SRFs to be called in targetlists
(observe changes in plperl regression results).

by regression testing, but for some reason buildfarm member spoonbill
doesn't like it.
relation forks. While the file names are not visible to users, for those
that do peek into the data directory, it's nice to have more descriptive
names. Per Greg Stark's suggestion.
large enough for block numbers higher than 2^31. The old pre-FSM-rewrite
pg_freespacemap implementation got this right. While we're at it, remove
some unnecessary #includes.
free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each
relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM).
This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any
trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation.
Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also
introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in
contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and
a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.
conninfo string *before* trying to connect to the remote server, not after.
As pointed out by Marko Kreen, in certain not-very-plausible situations
this could result in sending a password from the postgres user's .pgpass file,
or other places that non-superusers shouldn't have access to, to an
untrustworthy remote server. The cleanest fix seems to be to expose libpq's
conninfo-string-parsing code so that dblink can check for a password option
without duplicating the parsing logic.
Joe Conway, with a little cleanup by Tom Lane
during parsing. Formerly the parser's stack was allocated with malloc
and so wouldn't be reclaimed; this patch makes it use palloc instead,
so that flushing the current context will reclaim the memory. Per
Marko Kreen.
1. -i option should run vacuum analyze only on pgbench tables, not *all*
tables in database.
2. pre-run cleanup step was DELETE FROM HISTORY then VACUUM HISTORY.
This is just a slow version of TRUNCATE HISTORY.

of the STRING type category, thereby opening up the mechanism for user-defined
types. This is mainly for the benefit of citext, though; there aren't likely
to be a lot of types that are all general-purpose character strings.
Per discussion with David Wheeler.
by putting it into the standard string category, we cause casts from citext
to text to be recognized as "preferred" casts. This eliminates the need
for creation of alias functions and operators that only serve to prevent
ambiguous-function errors; get rid of the ones that were in the original
commit.
pains to pass the ERROR message components locally, including
using the passed SQLSTATE. Also wrap the passed info in an
appropriate CONTEXT message. Addresses complaint by Henry
Combrinck. Joe Conway, with much good advice from Tom Lane.
corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including
certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just
relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less
unnecessary dependencies.
by installing an error context subroutine that will provide the file name
and line number for all errors detected while reading a config file.
Some of the reader routines were already doing that in an ad-hoc way for
errors detected directly in the reader, but it didn't help for problems
detected in subroutines, such as encoding violations.
Back-patch to 8.3 because 8.3 is where people will be trying to debug
configuration files.
calling convention. cube_inter and cube_distance could attempt to pfree
their input arguments, and cube_dim returned a value from a struct it
might have just pfree'd (which would only really cause a problem in a
debug build, but it's still wrong). Per bug #4208 and additional code
reading.
In HEAD and 8.3, I also made a batch of cosmetic changes to bring these
functions into line with the preferred coding style for V1 functions,
ie declare and fetch all the arguments at the top so readers can easily
see what they are.
unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
files.
For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.
While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more
consistent with our header style.

file is deleted too early when starting the recovery of a warm standby server.
Also add a sanity check in pg_standby so that it will refuse to delete anything
earlier than the file being restored, and improve the debug message in case
nothing is deleted.
Simon Riggs. Backpatch to 8.3, which is where %r was introduced.
These changes assume that the varchar and xml data types are represented
the same as text. (I did not, however, accept the portions of the proposed
patch that wanted to assume bytea is the same as text --- tgl.)

and version-1 if USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL. This might seem a bit pointless, but the
idea is to have at least one regression test that will fail if we ever
accidentally break version-0 functions that return float8. However, they're
already broken, or at least hopelessly unportable, in the USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL
case.
Per a recent suggestion from Greg Stark.
where Datum is 8 bytes wide. Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior. Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

uses of the long-deprecated float32 in contrib/seg; the definitions themselves
are still there, but no longer used. fmgr/README updated to match.
I added a CREATE FUNCTION to account for existing seg_center() code in seg.c
too, and some tests for it and the neighbor functions. At the same time,
remove checks for NULL which are not needed (because the functions are declared
STRICT).
I had to do some adjustments to contrib's btree_gist too. The choices for
representation there are not ideal for changing the underlying types :-(
Original patch by Zoltan Boszormenyi, with some adjustments by me.
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes. In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.

results to contain uninitialized, unpredictable values. While this was okay
as far as the datatypes themselves were concerned, it's a problem for the
parser because occurrences of the "same" literal might not be recognized as
equal by datumIsEqual (and hence not by equal()). It seems sufficient to fix
this in the input functions since the only critical use of equal() is in the
parser's comparisons of ORDER BY and DISTINCT expressions.
Per a trouble report from Marc Cousin.
Patch all the way back. Interestingly, array_in did not have the bug before
8.2, which may explain why the issue went unnoticed for so long.
