In commit 1d97c19a0f748e94 and later c1d9579dd8bf3c92, we extended pull_var_clause's API by adding enum-type arguments. That's sort of a pain to maintain, though, because it means every time we add a new behavior we must touch every last one of the call sites, even if there's a reasonable default behavior that most of them could use. Let's switch over to using a bitmask of flags, instead; that seems more maintainable and might save a nanosecond or two as well. This commit changes no behavior in itself, though I'm going to follow it up with one that does add a new behavior. In passing, remove flatten_tlist(), which has not been used since 9.1 and would otherwise need the same API changes. Removing these enums means that optimizer/tlist.h no longer needs to depend on optimizer/var.h. Changing that caused a number of C files to need addition of #include "optimizer/var.h" (probably we can thank old runs of pgrminclude for that); but on balance it seems like a good change anyway.
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.
