in Turkish locale. Keywords are now checked under pure ASCII case-folding
rules ('A'-'Z'->'a'-'z' and nothing else). However, once a word is
determined not to be a keyword, it will be case-folded under the current
locale, same as before. See pghackers discussion 20-Feb-01.
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
are treated more like 'cancel' interrupts: the signal handler sets a
flag that is examined at well-defined spots, rather than trying to cope
with an interrupt that might happen anywhere. See pghackers discussion
of 1/12/01.
and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause
instead, per recent discussion in pghackers. Also fix implementation
of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze(). See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just
after a SET TIMEZONE command. gram.y really has to be an invariant
transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that
can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) <object files> <extra-libraries> $(LIBS) -o $@
This form seemed to be the most portable, readable, and logical, but in any
case it's better than having a dozen different ones in the tree.
source directory. This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".". (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)
Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS). Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.
illegal call to pg_mbclipen() that is for backend only. However I
have not remove the entire part of the problem, rather mark it with
#ifdef MULTIBYTE_NOTUSED since we should come back with a long range
solution someday.
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.
DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because
a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.
b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.
(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print
instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that
users can continue building anyway.
