Robert Haas ea9df812d8 Relax the requirement that all lwlocks be stored in a single array.
This makes it possible to store lwlocks as part of some other data
structure in the main shared memory segment, or in a dynamic shared
memory segment.  There is still a main LWLock array and this patch does
not move anything out of it, but it provides necessary infrastructure
for doing that in the future.

This change is likely to increase the size of LWLockPadded on some
platforms, especially 32-bit platforms where it was previously only
16 bytes.

Patch by me.  Review by Andres Freund and KaiGai Kohei.

pgindent
========

This can format all PostgreSQL *.c and *.h files, but excludes *.y, and
*.l files.

1) Install pg_bsd_indent (see below for details).

2) Install entab (src/tools/entab/).

3) Change directory to the top of the build tree.

4) Remove all derived files (pgindent has trouble with one of the flex macros):

	gmake maintainer-clean

   Or:

	git clean -fdx

5) Download the typedef file from the buildfarm:

	wget -O src/tools/pgindent/typedefs.list http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/typedefs.pl

6) Run pgindent:

	src/tools/pgindent/pgindent

7) Remove any files that generate errors and restore their original
   versions.

8) Indent the Perl code:

	(
		find . -name \*.pl -o -name \*.pm

		find . -type f -exec file {} \; |
		egrep -i ':.*perl[0-9]*\>' |
		cut -d: -f1
	) |
	sort -u |
	xargs perltidy --profile=src/tools/pgindent/perltidyrc

9) Do a full test build:

	> run configure
	# stop is only necessary if it's going to install in a location with an
	# already running server
	pg_ctl stop
	gmake -C src install
	gmake -C contrib install
	pg_ctl start
	gmake installcheck-world

10) Remove Perl backup files after testing

BSD indent
----------

We have standardized on NetBSD's indent, and renamed it pg_bsd_indent.
We have fixed a few bugs which requre the NetBSD source to be patched
with indent.bsd.patch patch.  A fully patched version is available at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/dev.

GNU indent, version 2.2.6, has several problems, and is not recommended.
These bugs become pretty major when you are doing >500k lines of code.
If you don't believe me, take a directory and make a copy.  Run pgindent
on the copy using GNU indent, and do a diff -r. You will see what I
mean. GNU indent does some things better, but mangles too.  For details,
see:

	http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2003-10/msg00374.php
	http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-04/msg01436.php

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes about excluded files
--------------------------

src/include/storage/s_lock.h is excluded because it contains assembly code
that pgindent tends to mess up.

src/include/snowball/libstemmer/ and src/backend/snowball/libstemmer/
are excluded because those files are imported from an external project,
not maintained locally, and are machine-generated anyway.

src/interfaces/ecpg/test/expected/ is excluded to avoid breaking the ecpg
regression tests.  Several *.h files are included in regression output so
should not be changed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obsolete typedef list creation instructions
-------------------------------------------

To use pgindent:

1) Build the source tree with _debug_ symbols and all possible configure options

2) Install to /usr/local/pgsql

3) Install all contrib modules

4) Save a list of typedefs by running:

	src/tools/find_typedef /usr/local/pgsql/bin /usr/local/pgsql/lib > /tmp/pgtypedefs
