With OpenLDAP versions 2.4.24 through 2.4.31, inclusive, PostgreSQL
backends can crash at exit. Raise a warning during "configure" based on
the compile-time OpenLDAP version number, and test the crash scenario in
the dblink test suite. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
This function is pervasive on free software operating systems; import
NetBSD's implementation. Back-patch to 8.4, like the commit that will
harness it.
Usually the search would find plain "tclsh" without any trouble,
but some installations might only have the version-numbered flavor
of that program.
No compatibility problems have been reported with 8.6, so we might
as well back-patch this to all active branches.

This test used to just define an unused static inline function and check
whether that causes a warning. But newer clang versions warn about
unused static inline functions when defined inside a .c file, but not
when defined in an included header, which is the case we care about.
Change the test to cope.
Andres Freund
The configure script's test for <sys/ucred.h> did not work on OpenBSD,
because on that platform <sys/param.h> has to be included first.
As a result, socket peer authentication was disabled on that platform.
Problem introduced in commit be4585b1c27ac5dbdd0d61740d18f7ad9a00e268.
Andres Freund, slightly simplified by me.
Some versions of libedit expose bogus definitions of setproctitle(),
optreset, and perhaps other symbols that we don't want configure to pick up
on. There was a previous report of similar problems with strlcpy(), which
we addressed in commit 59cf88da91bc88978b05275ebd94ac2d980c4047, but the
problem has evidently grown in scope since then. In hopes of not having to
deal with it again in future, rearrange configure's tests for supplied
functions so that we ignore libedit/libreadline except when probing
specifically for functions we expect them to provide.
Per report from Christoph Berg, though this is slightly more aggressive
than his proposed patch.
We previously supposed that any given platform would supply both or neither
of these functions, so that one configure test would be sufficient. It now
appears that at least on AIX this is not the case ... which is likely an
AIX bug, but nonetheless we need to cope with it. So use separate tests.
Per bug #6758; thanks to Andrew Hastie for doing the followup testing
needed to confirm what was happening.
Backpatch to 9.1, where we began using these functions.
We had put a test for libxml2's xmlStructuredErrorContext variable in
configure, but of course that doesn't work on Windows builds. The next
best alternative seems to be to test the LIBXML_VERSION symbol provided
by xmlversion.h.
Per report from Talha Bin Rizwan, though this fixes it in a different way
than his proposed patch.
The BSD-ish members of the buildfarm all seem to think removing this
was a bad idea. It looks to me like it resulted in omitting the system
header inclusion necessary to detect the fields of struct tm correctly.

TM_IN_SYS_TIME never used, obsolescent per Autoconf documentation
These were apparently never used. The AC_SUBST was probably just
added in a copy-and-paste manner. (The shell variables continue to be
used inside configure. The change is just that we don't need them
outside of configure.)
Remove the following ports:
- dgux
- nextstep
- sunos4
- svr4
- ultrix4
- univel
These are obsolete and not worth rescuing. In most cases, there is
circumstantial evidence that they wouldn't work anymore anyway.
PGAC_PATH_COLLATEINDEX supposed that it could use AC_PATH_PROGS to search
for collateindex.pl, but that macro will only accept files that are marked
executable, and at least some DocBook installations don't mark the script
executable (a case the docs Makefile was already prepared for). Accept the
script if it's present and readable in $DOCBOOKSTYLE/bin, and otherwise
search the PATH as before.
Having fixed that up, we don't need the fallback case that was in the docs
Makefile, and instead can throw an understandable error if configure didn't
find the script. Per recent trouble report from John Lumby.
In the Fedora variant of MinGW, the openssl libraries have their normal
names, not libeay32 and libssleay32. Adjust configure probes to allow
that, per bug #6486.

The immediate impetus for this is that Noah Misch's patch to elide
unnecessary table and index rebuilds when changing typmod for temporal
types uses it; and this is extracted from that patch, with some
further commentary by me. But it seems logically separate from the
remainder of the patch, so I'm committing it separately; this is not
the first time someone has wanted fls() in the backend and probably
won't be the last.
If we end up using this in more performance-critical spots it may be
worthwhile to add some architecture-specific optimizations to our
src/port version of fls() - e.g. any x86 platform can implement this
using the assembly instruction BSRL. But performance won't matter
a bit for assessing typmod changes, so I'm not worried about that
right now.
Historically we've used the SWPB instruction for TAS() on ARM, but this
is deprecated and not available on ARMv6 and later. Instead, make use
of a GCC builtin if available. We'll still fall back to SWPB if not,
so as not to break existing ports using older GCC versions.
Eventually we might want to try using __sync_lock_test_and_set() on some
other architectures too, but for now that seems to present only risk and
not reward.
Back-patch to all supported versions, since people might want to use any
of them on more recent ARM chips.
Martin Pitt
The hint bit makes for a small but measurable performance improvement
in access to contended spinlocks.
On the other hand, some PPC chips give an illegal-instruction failure.
There doesn't seem to be a completely bulletproof way to tell whether the
hint bit will cause an illegal-instruction failure other than by trying
it; but most if not all 64-bit PPC machines should accept it, so follow
the Linux kernel's lead and assume it's okay to use it in 64-bit builds.
Of course we must also check whether the assembler accepts the command,
since even with a recent CPU the toolchain could be old.
Patch by Manabu Ori, significantly modified by me.
All supported platforms support the C89 standard function atexit()
(SunOS 4 probably being the last one not to), and supporting both
makes the code clumsy.
Suggested solution from Tom Lane. Problem discovered, probably not
for the first time, while testing the mingw-w64 32 bit compiler.
Backpatched to all live branches.
Original patch by Lars Kanis, reviewed by Nishiyama Tomoaki and tweaked some by me.
This compiler, or at least the latest version of it, is currently broken, and
only passes the regression tests if built with -O0.
Add __attribute__ decorations for printf format checking to the places that
were missing them. Fix the resulting warnings. Add
-Wmissing-format-attribute to the standard set of warnings for GCC, so these
don't happen again.
The warning fixes here are relatively harmless. The one serious problem
discovered by this was already committed earlier in
cf15fb5cabfbc71e07be23cfbc813daee6c5014f.
on Windows. ecpglib doesn't link with libpgport, but picks and compiles
the .c files it needs individually. To cope with that, move the setlocale()
wrapper from chklocale.c to a separate setlocale.c file, and include that
in ecpglib.
Because of ABI tagging, the library version number might no longer be
exactly the Python version number, so do extra lookups. This affects
installations without a shared library, such as ActiveState's
installer.
Also update the way to detect the location of the 'config' directory,
which can also be versioned.

glibc renders random() thread-safe by wrapping a futex lock around it;
testing reveals that this limits the performance of pgbench on machines
with many CPU cores. Rather than switching to random_r(), which is
only available on GNU systems and crashes unless you use undocumented
alchemy to initialize the random state properly, switch to our built-in
implementation of erand48(), which is both thread-safe and concurrent.
Since the list of reasons not to use the operating system's erand48()
is getting rather long, rename ours to pg_erand48() (and similarly
for our implementations of lrand48() and srand48()) and just always
use those. We were already doing this on Cygwin anyway, and the
glibc implementation is not quite thread-safe, so pgbench wouldn't
be able to use that either.
Per discussion with Tom Lane.
libxml reports some errors (like invalid xmlns attributes) via the error
handler hook, but still returns a success indicator to the library caller.
This causes us to miss some errors that are important to report. Since the
"generic" error handler hook doesn't know whether the message it's getting
is for an error, warning, or notice, stop using that and instead start
using the "structured" error handler hook, which gets enough information
to be useful.
While at it, arrange to save and restore the error handler hook setting in
each libxml-using function, rather than assuming we can set and forget the
hook. This should improve the odds of working nicely with third-party
libraries that also use libxml.
In passing, volatile-ize some local variables that get modified within
PG_TRY blocks. I noticed this while testing with an older gcc version
than I'd previously tried to compile xml.c with.
