functions.
Note that because this patch changes FmgrInfo, any external C functions
you might be testing with 8.4 will need to be recompiled.
Patch by Martin Pihlak, some editorialization by me (principally, removing
tracking of getrusage() numbers)
file portability/instr_time.h, and add a couple more macros to eliminate
some abstraction leakage we formerly had. Also update psql to use this
header instead of its own copy of nearly the same code.
This commit in itself is just code cleanup and shouldn't change anything.
It lays some groundwork for the upcoming function-stats patch, though.
modes, replacing it with a call to a function that derives it from the
sync_method variable, now that it has distinct values for these two cases.
This means that assign_xlog_sync_method() no longer changes any settings,
thus fixing the bug introduced in the change to use a guc enum for
wal_sync_method.
asked for anything other than RUSAGE_SELF, since it's not supported.
This is never called anywhere in the code today, but might be in
the future.
Not backpatching, since it's not called anywhere today.
HINT fields to a user-thrown error message, and to specify the SQLSTATE
error code to use. The syntax has also been tweaked so that the
Oracle-compatible case "RAISE exception_name" works (though you won't get a
very nice error message if you just write that much). Lastly, support
the Oracle-compatible syntax "RAISE" with no parameters to re-throw
the current error from within an EXCEPTION block.
In passing, allow the syntax SQLSTATE 'nnnnn' within EXCEPTION lists,
so that there is a way to trap errors with custom SQLSTATE codes.

Provides for better code readability, but mainly this is infrastructure changes
to allow further changes such as arbitrary footers on printed tables. Also,
the translation status of each element in the table is more easily customized.
Brendan Jurd, with some editorialization by me.
There are two ways to track a snapshot: there's the "registered" list, which
is used for arbitrary long-lived snapshots; and there's the "active stack",
which is used for the snapshot that is considered "active" at any time.
This also allows users of snapshots to stop worrying about snapshot memory
allocation and freeing, and about using PG_TRY blocks around ActiveSnapshot
assignment. This is all done automatically now.
As a consequence, this allows us to reset MyProc->xmin when there are no
more snapshots registered in the current backend, reducing the impact that
long-running transactions have on VACUUM.
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.
output column are not emitted. (That change already caused more noise in
the regression test output files than I would like.) Provide some needed
editorial help for comments, clean up code formatting.
as those for inherited columns; that is, it's no longer allowed for a child
table to not have a check constraint matching one that exists on a parent.
This satisfies the principle of least surprise (rows selected from the parent
will always appear to meet its check constraints) and eliminates some
longstanding bogosity in pg_dump, which formerly had to guess about whether
check constraints were really inherited or not.
The implementation involves adding conislocal and coninhcount columns to
pg_constraint (paralleling attislocal and attinhcount in pg_attribute)
and refactoring various ALTER TABLE actions to be more like those for
columns.

parameter. This fixes bug 4137 reported by Wojciech Strzalka, where a WAL
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.
