Per bug #5352, this helps to provide a useful error message if the user
tries to do something presently unsupported, namely use a rowtype variable
as a member of a multiple-item INTO list.

but not in cells).

formats; a null string must not be formatted as a numeric. The more exotic
formats latex and troff also incorrectly formatted all strings as numerics
when numericlocale was on.

Backpatch to 8.1 where numericlocale option was added.

This fixes bug #5355 reported by Andy Lester.

This involves modifying the module to have a stable ABI, that is, the
xslt_process() function still exists even without libxslt.  It throws a
runtime error if called, but doesn't prevent executing the CREATE FUNCTION
call.  This is a good thing anyway to simplify cross-version upgrades.

since we released a version without it, so remove the comment that
says we might want to do that.

These are unnecessary and probably dangerous.  I don't see any immediate
risk situations in the core XML support or contrib/xml2 itself, but there
could be issues with external uses of libxml2, and in any case it's an
accident waiting to happen.

Get rid of the code that attempted to funnel libxml2's memory allocations
into palloc.   We already knew from experience with the core xml datatype
that trying to do this is simply not reliable.  Unlike the core code, I
did not bother adding a lot of PG_TRY/PG_CATCH logic to try to ensure that
everything is cleaned up on error exit.  Hence, we might leak some memory
if one of these functions fails partway through.  Given the deprecated
status of this contrib module and the fact that errors partway through
the functions shouldn't be too common, it doesn't seem worth worrying about.

Also fix a separate bug in xpath_table, that it did the wrong things
if given a result tuple descriptor with less than 2 columns.  While
such a case isn't very useful in practice, we shouldn't fail or stomp
memory when it occurs.

Add some simple regression tests based on all the reported crash cases
that I have on hand.

This should be back-patched, but let's see if the buildfarm likes it first.

Second try at fsyncing directories in CREATE DATABASE. Let's see what the build farm says of opening directories read-only and ignoring EBADF from fsync of directories

just make it a bit less ugly in places.

the fact that NetBSD/mips is currently broken, as per buildfarm member pika.

Also add regression tests to ensure that get_float8_nan and get_float4_nan
are exercised even on platforms where they are not needed by
float8in/float4in.
