Tom Lane	7b416c8c1a	Change the declaration of struct varlena so that the length word is ... represented as "char ...[4]" not "int32". Since the length word is never supposed to be accessed via this struct member anyway, this won't break any existing code that is following the rules. The advantage is that C compilers will no longer assume that a pointer to struct varlena is word-aligned, which prevents incorrect optimizations in TOAST-pointer access and perhaps other places. gcc doesn't seem to do this (at least not at -O2), but the problem is demonstrable on some other compilers. I changed struct inet as well, but didn't bother to touch a lot of other struct definitions in which it wouldn't make any difference because there were other fields forcing int alignment anyway. Hopefully none of those struct definitions are used for accessing unaligned Datums.	18 years ago
Bruce Momjian	ca65da88d5	Correct XML markup typo, <book> -> </book> ... XMLPARSE (DOCUMENT '<?xml version="1.0"?><book><title>Manual</title><chapter>...</chapter></book>') Backpatch to 8.3.X.	18 years ago
Tom Lane	745e6edaae	Fix SPI_cursor_open() and SPI_is_cursor_plan() to push the SPI stack before ... doing anything interesting, such as calling RevalidateCachedPlan(). The necessity of this is demonstrated by an example from Willem Buitendyk: during a replan, the planner might try to evaluate SPI-using functions, and so we'd better be in a clean SPI context. A small downside of this fix is that these two functions will now fail outright if called when not inside a SPI-using procedure (ie, a SPI_connect/SPI_finish pair). The documentation never promised or suggested that that would work, though; and they are normally used in concert with other functions, mainly SPI_prepare, that always have failed in such a case. So the odds of breaking something seem pretty low. In passing, make SPI_is_cursor_plan's error handling convention clearer, and fix documentation's erroneous claim that SPI_cursor_open would return NULL on error. Before 8.3 these functions could not invoke replanning, so there is probably no need for back-patching.	18 years ago

Bruce Momjian	d9c7f63244	Add "automatically" to HOT release note description.	18 years ago
Magnus Hagander	8d363727f4	Fix very broken clean.bat for msvc install. The way we used subroutines ... in .bat simply did not work, and it called them in the wrong order, some several times, and some not at all. So this unrolls all subroutine calls. This should fix the issues with clean deleting the wrong files reported by Dave Page. While at it, add the "clean dist" option to act like "make distclean", and no longer remove the flex/bison output files by default. This shuold fix the problem reported by Pavel Golub in bug #3909.	18 years ago

Tom Lane	73d9544e27	Remove the old table of "supported platforms" in favor of a link to the ... buildfarm plus a narrative description of the CPU types and operating systems on which Postgres is likely to work. Now that we've almost completely decoupled CPU and OS considerations, the former tabular style isn't all that enlightening anyway. Perhaps more importantly, no one seems particularly interested in maintaining the table by hand when we have the buildfarm.	18 years ago
Tom Lane	7c15b10a9a	Improve pg_autovacuum documentation to clarify that the enabled field cannot ... prevent anti-wraparound vacuuming, and to caution against setting unreasonably small values of freeze_max_age. Also put in a notice that this catalog is likely to disappear entirely in some future release. Per discussion of bug #3898 from Steven Flatt.	18 years ago
