Some of the many error messages introduced in 458857cc missed 'FROM
unpackaged'. Also e016b724 and 45ffeb7e forgot to quote extension
version numbers.
Backpatch to 9.1, just like 458857cc which introduced the messages. Do
so because the error messages thrown when the wrong command is copy &
pasted aren't easy to understand.
Prominent binaries already had this metadata. A handful of minor
binaries, such as pg_regress.exe, still lack it; efforts to eliminate
such exceptions are welcome.

Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically
loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is
meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files,
but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant.
Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of
compiler warnings in extension modules.
We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That
makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where
the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that
functions have the right prototype.
Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.
When extracting trigrams from a regular expression for search of a GIN or
GIST trigram index, it's useful to penalize (preferentially discard)
trigrams that contain whitespace, since those are typically far more common
in the index than trigrams not containing whitespace. Of course, this
should only be a preference not a hard rule, since we might otherwise end
up with no trigrams to search for. The previous coding tended to produce
fairly inefficient trigram search sets for anchored regexp patterns, as
reported by Erik Rijkers. This patch penalizes whitespace-containing
trigrams, and also reduces the target number of extracted trigrams, since
experience suggests that the original coding tended to select too many
trigrams to search for.

Allow for the possibility that folding a string to lower case makes it
longer (due to replacing a character with a longer multibyte character).
This doesn't change the number of trigrams that will be extracted, but
it does affect the required size of an intermediate buffer in
generate_trgm(). Per bug #8821 from Ufuk Kayserilioglu.
Also install some checks that the input string length is not so large
as to cause overflow in the calculations of palloc request sizes.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
The initial coding just descended the index if any of the target trigrams
were possibly present at the next level down. But actually we can apply
trigramsMatchGraph() so as to take advantage of AND requirements when there
are some. The input data might contain false positive matches, but that
can only result in a false positive result, not false negative, so it's
safe to do it this way.
Alexander Korotkov
This wasn't addressed in the original patch, but it doesn't take very
much additional code to cover the case, so let's get it done.
Since pg_trgm 1.1 hasn't been released yet, I just changed the definition
of what's in it, rather than inventing a 1.2.
This works by extracting trigrams from the given regular expression,
in generally the same spirit as the previously-existing support for
LIKE searches, though of course the details are far more complicated.
Currently, only GIN indexes are supported. We might be able to make
it work with GiST indexes later.
The implementation includes adding API functions to backend/regex/
to provide a view of the search NFA created from a regular expression.
These functions are meant to be generic enough to be supportable in
a standalone version of the regex library, should that ever happen.
Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Heikki Linnakangas and Tom Lane
contrib/pg_trgm's make_trigrams() was coded to ignore multibyte character
boundaries and just make trigrams from bytes if USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER wasn't
defined. This is a bit odd, since there's no obvious reason why trigram
compaction rules should depend on the presence of towlower() and friends.
What's more, there was an Assert() that would fail if that code path was
fed any multibyte characters.
We need to do something about this since the pending regex-indexing patch
has an assumption that you get just one "trgm" from any three characters.
The best solution seems to be to remove the USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER
dependency, which shouldn't really have been there in the first place.
The second loop in make_trigrams() is now just a fast path and not a
potentially incompatible algorithm.
If there is anybody still using Postgres on machines without wcstombs() or
towlower(), and they have non-ASCII data indexed by pg_trgm, they'll need
to REINDEX those indexes after pg_upgrade to 9.3, else searches may fail
incorrectly. It seems likely that there are no such installations, though.
In passing, rename cnt_trigram to compact_trigram, which seems to better
describe its functionality, and improve make_trigrams' test for whether it
has to use the slow path or not (per a suggestion from Alexander Korotkov).
Cases such as similarity('', '') produced a NaN result due to computing
0/0. Per discussion, make it return zero instead.
This appears to be the basic cause of bug #7867 from Michele Baravalle,
although it remains unclear why her installation doesn't think Cyrillic
letters are letters.
Back-patch to all active branches.
Extraction of trigrams did not process LIKE escape sequences properly,
leading to possible misidentification of trigrams near escapes, resulting
in incorrect index search results.

The latter was already the dominant use, and it's preferable because
in C the convention is that intXX means XX bits. Therefore, allowing
mixed use of int2, int4, int8, int16, int32 is obviously confusing.
Remove the typedefs for int2 and int4 for now. They don't seem to be
widely used outside of the PostgreSQL source tree, and the few uses
can probably be cleaned up by the time this ships.
We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.
Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
Since gtrgm_penalty() is usually called many times in a row with the same
"newval" (to determine which item on an index page newval fits into best),
the makesign() calculation is repetitious. It's expensive enough to make
it worth caching the result, so do so. On my machine this is good for
more than a 40% savings in the time needed to build a trigram index on
/usr/share/dict/words. This is all per a suggestion of Heikki's.
In passing, make some mostly-cosmetic improvements in the caching logic in
the other functions in this file that rely on caching info in fn_extra.
This addresses only those cases that are easy to fix by adding or
moving a const qualifier or removing an unnecessary cast. There are
many more complicated cases remaining.
Added a new option --extra-install to pg_regress to arrange installing
the respective contrib directory into the temporary installation.
This is currently not yet supported for Windows MSVC builds.
Updated the .gitignore files for contrib modules to ignore the
leftovers of a temp-install check run.
Changed the exit status of "make check" in a pgxs build (which still
does nothing) to 0 from 1.
Added "make check" in contrib to top-level "make check-world".
Take care of some loose ends in the update-from-unpackaged script, and
apply some ugly hacks to ensure that it produces the same catalog state
as the fresh-install script. Per discussion, this seems like a safer
plan than having two different catalog states that both call themselves
"pg_trgm 1.0", even if it's not immediately clear that the subtle
differences would ever matter.
Also, fix the stub function gin_extract_trgm() so that it works instead
of just bleating. Needed because this function will get called during a
regular dump and reload, if there are any indexes using its opclass.
The user won't have an opportunity to update the extension till later,
so telling him to do so is unhelpful.
From first pass of testing. Notably, there seems to be no need for
adminpack--unpackaged--1.0.sql because none of the objects that the
old module creates would ever be dumped by pg_dump anyway (they are
all in pg_catalog).
It was never terribly consistent to use OR REPLACE (because of the lack of
comparable functionality for data types, operators, etc), and
experimentation shows that it's now positively pernicious in the extension
world. We really want a failure to occur if there are any conflicts, else
it's unclear what the extension-ownership state of the conflicted object
ought to be. Most of the time, CREATE EXTENSION will fail anyway because
of conflicts on other object types, but an extension defining only
functions can succeed, with bad results.
This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.

Unlike Btree-based LIKE optimization, this works for non-left-anchored
search patterns. The effectiveness of the search depends on how many
trigrams can be extracted from the pattern. (The worst case, with no
trigrams, degrades to a full-table scan, so this isn't a panacea. But
it can be very useful.)

method to pass extra data to the consistent() and comparePartial() methods.
This is the core infrastructure needed to support the soon-to-appear
contrib/btree_gin module. The APIs are still upward compatible with the
definitions used in 8.3 and before, although *not* with the previous 8.4devel
function definitions.
catversion bump for changes in pg_proc entries (although these are just
cosmetic, since GIN doesn't actually look at the function signature before
calling it...)

"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.
