';' operators.

entries in template selection rules.  Also, change alpha-dec-osf pattern
to cope with version info attached to the 'alpha' part.

command, the entries in template/.similar can really be regular
expressions.  This isn't a new feature, just an observation of what the
code already did.

incorrect use of StrNCpy.

leading to postmaster accepting args 1 shorter than it had room for.

Fix inadequate parenthesization in several other macros.

Makefiles now), there's no reason for os2client to maintain its own
copy of c.h just to change #define PORTNAME.  Simplify Makefile
accordingly.  Get rid of horribly-out-of-date modified copy of c.h,
which should never have been in the distribution to start with,
since it's actually a derived file.  Now it's not needed anyway.

had already been transformed.  This led to failure in examples like
UPDATE table SET fld = (SELECT ...).  Repair this, and revise the
comments to explain that transformExpr has to be robust against this
condition.  Someday we might want to fix the callers so that
transformExpr is never invoked on its own output, but that someday
is not today.

user, so it doesn't need to be translated from the number to the name.

also ``create database ...'' does not take numbers for the encoding, so
the ENCODING variable does not need to be translated to a number, but left
as the text representation.  a patch is supplied to make the changes i
have found to work.  i was successful dumping and reloading my database
after these changes.

incorrect descriptions of a couple of log-related functions.
I will not force an initdb for this, but log() on a numeric won't
work until you do one...

In function parsing, try for an actual function of the given name and
input types before trying to interpret the function call as a type
coercion request, rather than after.  Before, a function that had the
same name as a type and operated on a binary-compatible type wouldn't
get invoked.  Also, cross-pollinate between func_select_candidates and
oper_select_candidates to ensure that they use as nearly the same
resolution rules as possible.  A few other minor code cleanups too.

actually returns the type it is named for.

problem could be lack of parentheses.  This addresses cases like
X UserOp UserOp Y, which will be parsed as (X UserOp) UserOp Y,
whereas what likely was wanted was X UserOp (UserOp Y).

16-Mar-00: trailing + or - is not part of the operator unless the operator
also contains characters not present in SQL92-defined operators.  This
solves the 'X=-Y' problem without unduly constraining users' choice of
operator names --- in particular, no existing Postgres operator names
become invalid.

Also, remove processing of // comments, as agreed in the same thread.

prefix operator :-(.  Bad enough that we have no implementation of
unary plus, but at least with this fix the grammar will take it.

which is not ANSI C, even though some compilers will take it...

a config.h #define, and the runtime value can be controlled via SET.

running gcc and HP's cc with warnings cranked way up.  Signed vs unsigned
comparisons, routines declared static and then defined not-static,
that kind of thing.  Tedious, but perhaps useful...
