Per the letter of the C11 standard, one must #define
__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ as 1 before including <string.h> in order to
have access to memset_s(). It appears that many platforms are lenient
about this, because we weren't doing it and yet the code appeared to
work anyway. But we now find that with -std=c11, macOS is strict and
doesn't declare memset_s, leading to compile failures since we try to
use it anyway. (Given the lack of prior reports, perhaps this is new
behavior in the latest SDK? No matter, we're clearly in the wrong.)
In addition to the immediate problem, which could be fixed merely by
adding the needed #define to explicit_bzero.c, it seems possible that
our configure-time probe for memset_s() could fail in case a platform
implements the function in some odd way due to this spec requirement.
This concern can be fixed in largely the same way that we dealt with
strchrnul() in 6da2ba1d8: switch to using a declaration-based
configure probe instead of a does-it-link probe.
Back-patch to v13 where we started using memset_s().

As of 15.4, macOS has strchrnul(), but access to it is blocked behind
a check for MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET >= 15.4. But our does-it-link
configure check finds it, so we try to use it, and fail with the
present default deployment target (namely 15.0). This accounts for
today's buildfarm failures on indri and sifaka.
This is the identical problem that we faced some years ago when Apple
introduced preadv and pwritev in the same way. We solved that in
commit f014b1b9b by using AC_CHECK_DECLS instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS
to check the functions' availability. So do the same now for
strchrnul(). Interestingly, we already had a workaround for
"the link check doesn't agree with <string.h>" cases with glibc,
which we no longer need since only the header declaration is being
checked.
Testing this revealed that the meson version of this check has never
worked, because it failed to use "-Werror=unguarded-availability-new".
(Apparently nobody's tried to build with meson on macOS versions that
lack preadv/pwritev as standard.) Adjust that while at it. Also,
we had never put support for "-Werror=unguarded-availability-new"
into v13, but we need that now.

On ARM platforms where the baseline CPU target lacks CRC instructions,
we need to supply a -march flag to persuade the compiler to compile
such instructions. It turns out that our existing choice of
"-march=armv8-a+crc" has not worked for some time, because recent gcc
will interpret that as selecting software floating point, and then
will spit up if the platform requires hard-float ABI, as most do
nowadays. The end result was to silently fall back to software CRC,
which isn't very desirable since in practice almost all currently
produced ARM chips do have hardware CRC.
We can fix this by using "-march=armv8-a+crc+simd" to enable the
correct ABI choice. (This has no impact on the code actually
generated, since neither of the files we compile with this flag
does any floating-point stuff, let alone SIMD.) Keep the test for
"-march=armv8-a+crc" since that's required for soft-float ABI,
but try that second since most platforms we're likely to build on
use hard-float.
Since this isn't working as-intended on the last several years'
worth of gcc releases, back-patch to all supported branches.

Previously we checked "for <stdbool.h> that conforms to C99" using
autoconf's AC_HEADER_STDBOOL macro. We've required C99 since PostgreSQL
12, so the test was redundant, and under C23 it was broken: autoconf
2.69's implementation doesn't understand C23's new empty header (the
macros it's looking for went away, replaced by language keywords).
Later autoconf versions fixed that, but let's just remove the
anachronistic test.
HAVE_STDBOOL_H and HAVE__BOOL will no longer be defined, but they
weren't directly tested in core or likely extensions (except in 11, see
below). PG_USE_STDBOOL (or USE_STDBOOL in 11 and 12) is still defined
when sizeof(bool) is 1, which should be true on all modern systems.
Otherwise we define our own bool type and values of size 1, which would
fail to compile under C23 as revealed by the broken test. (We'll
probably clean that dead code up in master, but here we want a minimal
back-patchable change.)
This came to our attention when GCC 15 recently started using using C23
by default and failed to compile the replacement code, as reported by
Sam James and build farm animal alligator.
Back-patch to all supported releases, and then two older versions that
also know about <stdbool.h>, per the recently-out-of-support policy[1].
12 requires C99 so it's much like the supported releases, but 11 only
assumes C89 so it now uses AC_CHECK_HEADERS instead of the overly picky
AC_HEADER_STDBOOL. (I could find no discussion of which historical
systems had <stdbool.h> but failed the conformance test; if they ever
existed, they surely aren't relevant to that policy's goals.)

If the executable's .o files were produced by a compiler (probably gcc)
not using -moutline-atomics, and the corresponding .bc files were
produced by clang using -moutline-atomics (probably by default), then
the generated bitcode functions would have the target attribute
"+outline-atomics", and could fail at runtime when inlined. If the
target ISA at bitcode generation time was armv8-a (the most conservative
aarch64 target, no LSE), then LLVM IR atomic instructions would generate
calls to functions in libgcc.a or libclang_rt.*.a that switch between
LL/SC and faster LSE instructions depending on a runtime AT_HWCAP check.
Since the corresponding .o files didn't need those functions, they
wouldn't have been included in the executable, and resolution would
fail.
At least Debian and Ubuntu are known to ship gcc and clang compilers
that target armv8-a but differ on the use of outline atomics by default.
Fix, by suppressing the outline atomics attribute in bitcode explicitly.
Inline LL/SC instructions will be generated for atomic operations in
bitcode built for armv8-a. Only configure scripts are adjusted for now,
because the meson build system doesn't generate bitcode yet.
This doesn't seem to be a new phenomenon, so real cases of functions
using atomics that are inlined by JIT must be rare in the wild given how
long it took for a bug report to arrive. The reported case could be
reduced to:
postgres=# set jit_inline_above_cost = 0;
SET
postgres=# set jit_above_cost = 0;
SET
postgres=# select pg_last_wal_receive_lsn();

1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING
and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with
RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new
file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide
to add more in the future.
2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for
stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect,
stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors.
3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the
requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before
pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall
back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is
available.
This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only. The
problem has apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a
few complaints. Proposed patches trigger it more often, which led to

We should have done it this way all along, but we accidentally got

Calling fseek() or ftello() on a handle to a non-seeking device such as
a pipe or a communications device is not supported. Unfortunately,
MSVC's flavor of these routines, _fseeki64() and _ftelli64(), do not
return an error when given a pipe as handle. Some of the logic of
pg_dump and restore relies on these routines to check if a handle is
seekable, causing failures when passing the contents of pg_dump to
pg_restore through a pipe, for example.
This commit introduces wrappers for fseeko() and ftello() on MSVC so as
any callers are able to properly detect the cases of non-seekable
handles. This relies mainly on GetFileType(), sharing a bit of code
with the MSVC port for fstat(). The code in charge of getting a file
type is refactored into a new file called win32common.c, shared by
win32stat.c and the new win32fseek.c. It includes the MSVC ports for
fseeko() and ftello().
Like 765f5df, this is backpatched down to 14, where the fstat()
implementation for MSVC is able to understand about files larger than
4GB in size. Using a TAP test for that is proving to be tricky as
IPC::Run handles the pipes by itself, still I have been able to check
the fix manually.

OpenSSL 1.1.1 and newer versions have added support for RSA-PSS
certificates, which requires the use of a specific routine in OpenSSL to
determine which hash function to use when compiling it when using
channel binding in SCRAM-SHA-256. X509_get_signature_nid(), that is the
original routine the channel binding code has relied on, is not able to
determine which hash algorithm to use for such certificates. However,
X509_get_signature_info(), new to OpenSSL 1.1.1, is able to do it. This
commit switches the channel binding logic to rely on
X509_get_signature_info() over X509_get_signature_nid(), which would be
the choice when building with 1.1.1 or newer.
The error could have been triggered on the client or the server, hence
libpq and the backend need to have their related code paths patched.
Note that attempting to load an RSA-PSS certificate with OpenSSL 1.1.0
or older leads to a failure due to an unsupported algorithm.
The discovery of relying on X509_get_signature_info() comes from Jacob,
the tests have been written by Heikki (with few tweaks from me), while I
have bundled the whole together while adding the bits needed for MSVC
and meson.
This issue exists since channel binding exists, so backpatch all the way
down. Some tests are added in 15~, triggered if compiling with OpenSSL
1.1.1 or newer, where the certificate and key files can easily be
generated for RSA-PSS.

There doesn't seem to be any good ABI-preserving way to silence
clang 15's -Wdeprecated-non-prototype warnings about our tree-walk

In OpenLDAP 2.5 and later, libldap itself is always thread-safe and
there's never a libldap_r. Our existing coding dealt with that
by assuming it wouldn't find libldap_r if libldap is thread-safe.
But that rule fails to cope if there are multiple OpenLDAP versions
visible, as is likely to be the case on macOS in particular. We'd
end up using shiny new libldap in the backend and a hoary libldap_r
in libpq.
Instead, once we've found libldap, check if it's >= 2.5 (by
probing for a function introduced then) and don't bother looking
for libldap_r if so. While one can imagine library setups that
this'd still give the wrong answer for, they seem unlikely to
occur in practice.

GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of

reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug);

We use "clang" to compile bitcode files for LLVM inlining. That might
be different from the build's main C compiler, so it needs its own set
of compiler flags. To simplify configure, we don't bother adding any
-W switches to that flag set; there's little need since the main build
will show us any warnings. However, if we don't want to see unwanted
warnings, we still have to add any -Wno-warning switches we'd normally
use with clang.
This escaped notice before commit 9ff47ea41, which tried to add
-Wno-compound-token-split-by-macro; buildfarm animals using mismatched
CC and CLANG still showed those warnings. I'm not sure why we never
saw any effects from the lack of -Wno-unused-command-line-argument
