Before Bison 3.4, the generated parser implementation files run afoul of -Wmissing-variable-declarations (in spite of commit ab61c40bfa2) because declarations for yylval and possibly yylloc are missing. The generated header files contain an extern declaration, but the implementation files don't include the header files. Since Bison 3.4, the generated implementation files automatically include the generated header files, so then it works. To make this work with older Bison versions as well, include the generated header file from the .y file. (With older Bison versions, the generated implementation file contains effectively a copy of the header file pasted in, so including the header file is redundant. But we know this works anyway because the core grammar uses this arrangement already.) Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/e0a62134-83da-4ba4-8cdb-ceb0111c95ce@eisentraut.org
The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database, you can simply do CREATE EXTENSION module_name; See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
