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.

so long as all the trailing arguments are of the same (non-array) type.
The function receives them as a single array argument (which is why they
have to all be the same type).
It might be useful to extend this facility to aggregates, but this patch
doesn't do that.
This patch imposes a noticeable slowdown on function lookup --- a follow-on
patch will fix that by adding a redundant column to pg_proc.

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.
strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

a trigger's target table. The rowtype could change from one call to the
next, so cope in such cases, while avoiding doing repetitive catalog lookups.
Per bug #3847 from Mark Reid.
Backpatch to 8.2.x. Likely this fix should go further back, but I can't test
it because I no longer have a machine with a pre-2.5 Python installation.
(Maybe we should rethink that idea about not supporting Python 2.5 in the
older branches.)
from old versions of gcc. It's not clear to me that this is really
necessary for correctness, but less warnings are always good.
Per buildfarm results and local testing.
It removes last remaining casts inside struct definitions.
Such usage is bad practice, as it hides problems from compiler.
Reason for the cast is popular practice in some circles
to define functions as foo(MyObj *) instead of foo(PyObject *)
thus avoiding a local variable inside functions and make
direct calling easier. As pl/python does not use such style,
the casts were unnecessary from the start.

keeping private state in each backend that has inserted and deleted the same
tuple during its current top-level transaction. This is sufficient since
there is no need to be able to determine the cmin/cmax from any other
transaction. This gets us back down to 23-byte headers, removing a penalty
paid in 8.0 to support subtransactions. Patch by Heikki Linnakangas, with
minor revisions by moi, following a design hashed out awhile back on the
pghackers list.
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."
Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
python 2.5. This involves fixing several violations of the published
spec for creating PyTypeObjects, and adding another regression test
expected output for yet another variation of error message spelling.
Fix all the standard PLs to be able to return tuples from FOO_RETURNING
statements as well as utility statements that return tuples. Also,
fix oversight that SPI_processed wasn't set for a utility statement
returning tuples. Per recent discussion.
loaded libraries: call functions _PG_init() and _PG_fini() if the library
defines such symbols. Hence we no longer need to specify an initialization
function in preload_libraries: we can assume that the library used the
_PG_init() convention, instead. This removes one source of pilot error
in use of preloaded libraries. Original patch by Ralf Engelschall,
preload_libraries changes by me.
Studio 2005. Basically MS defined errcode in the headers with a typedef,
so we have to #define it out of the way.
While at it, fix a function declaration in plpython that didn't match
the implementation (volatile missing).

After updating to the latest cvs, and also building most of the addons
(like PLs), the following patch is neededf for win32 + Visual C++.
* Switch to use the new win32 semaphore code
* Rename win32_open to pgwin32_open. win32_open collides with symbols
defined in Perl. MingW didn't detect ig, MSVC did. And it's a bit too
generic a name to export globally, imho...
* Python defines some partially broken #pragmas in the headers when
doing a debug build. Workaround.

by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time
ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving
lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is
only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need
to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go
away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context.

functions are not strict, they will be called (passing a NULL first parameter)
during any attempt to input a NULL value of their datatype. Currently, all
our input functions are strict and so this commit does not change any
behavior. However, this will make it possible to build domain input functions
that centralize checking of domain constraints, thereby closing numerous holes
in our domain support, as per previous discussion.
While at it, I took the opportunity to introduce convenience functions
InputFunctionCall, OutputFunctionCall, etc to use in code that calls I/O
functions. This eliminates a lot of grotty-looking casts, but the main
motivation is to make it easier to grep for these places if we ever need
to touch them again.
during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages.
This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic
infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors
involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could
be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also
moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq,
which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this
is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.
more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).
(I didn't use his patch, however). A void-returning PL/Python function
must return None (from Python), which is translated into a void datum
(and *not* NULL) for Postgres. I also added some regression tests for
this functionality.
in leaking memory when invoking a PL/Python procedure that raises an
exception. Unfortunately this still leaks memory, but at least the
largest leak has been plugged.
This patch also fixes a reference counting mistake in PLy_modify_tuple()
for 8.0, 8.1 and HEAD: we don't actually own a reference to `platt', so
we shouldn't Py_DECREF() it.
one argument at a time and then inserting the argument into a Python
list via PyList_SetItem(). This "steals" the reference to the argument:
that is, the reference to the new list member is now held by the Python
list itself. This works fine, except if an elog occurs. This causes the
function's PG_CATCH() block to be invoked, which decrements the
reference counts on both the current argument and the list of arguments.
If the elog happens to occur during the second or subsequent iteration
of the loop, the reference count on the current argument will be
decremented twice.
The fix is simple: set the local pointer to the current argument to NULL
immediately after adding it to the argument list. This ensures that the
Py_XDECREF() in the PG_CATCH() block doesn't double-decrement.
- use "bool" rather than "int" for boolean variables
- use "PLy_malloc" rather than "malloc" in two places
- define "PLy_strdup", and use it rather than malloc() + strcpy() in
two places (which should have been memcpy(), anyway).
- remove a bunch of redundant parentheses from expressions that do not
need the parentheses for code clarity
