example from Rod Taylor.  On reflection the correct test here is for any
polymorphic type, not specifically ANYARRAY as in the original coding.

shared libraries.  We've tried this before and had problems with libreadline
not linking properly on some platforms, but that seems to be a libreadline
bug that may have been fixed by now.  In any case, it's early enough in the
8.4 devel cycle that we can afford to have some transient breakage while
we work out any portability problems.

On Darwin, we try -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs, which seems to be the equivalent
incantation there.

that we are doing tty detection on Windows the kluge is unnecessary and wrong.

spoonbill, though one wonders why it didn't misbehave everywhere.
In passing remove some unnecessary modulo calculations.

Formerly, the default value of wal_sync_method was determined inside xlog.c,
but now it is determined inside guc.c.  guc.c was reading xlogdefs.h
without having read <fcntl.h>, leading to wrong determination of
DEFAULT_SYNC_METHOD.  Obviously xlogdefs.h needs to include <fcntl.h>
for itself to ensure stable results.

This particular batch was just for *.c and *.h file.

The changes were made with the following 2 commands:

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | while read file ; do head -n 1 < $file | grep -q '^/\*' && echo $file; done | xargs -l sed -i -e '1s/^\// /' -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n *'

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | xargs -l sed -i -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n */'

sequence.  This seems an obvious extension to the recent patch, and it
makes the code noticeably cleaner and more orthogonal.

sequence to be reset to its original starting value.  This requires adding the
original start value to the set of parameters (columns) of a sequence object,
which is a user-visible change with potential compatibility implications;
it also forces initdb.

Also add hopefully-SQL-compatible RESTART/CONTINUE IDENTITY options to
TRUNCATE TABLE.  RESTART IDENTITY executes ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART for all
sequences "owned by" any of the truncated relations.  CONTINUE IDENTITY is
a no-op option.

getting rid of.)

should always succeed, but in the likely event of a failure we would
previously fall through *without locking* - the new code will exit(1).

Printing the error message on stderr will not work for all applications, but
it's better than nothing at all - and our API doesn't provide a way to return
the error to the caller.

Add a few "help" entries.

Move \g help entry into "General".

Note that because this patch changes FmgrInfo, any external C functions
you might be testing with 8.4 will need to be recompiled.

some abstraction leakage we formerly had.  Also update psql to use this

This commit in itself is just code cleanup and shouldn't change anything.
It lays some groundwork for the upcoming function-stats patch, though.

modes, replacing it with a call to a function that derives it from the
sync_method variable, now that it has distinct values for these two cases.

This means that assign_xlog_sync_method() no longer changes any settings,
thus fixing the bug introduced in the change to use a guc enum for
wal_sync_method.
