snprintf format for uint64 items.

subroutine in src/port/pgsleep.c.  Remove platform dependencies from
miscadmin.h and put them in port.h where they belong.  Extend recent
vacuum cost-based-delay patch to apply to VACUUM FULL, ANALYZE, and
non-btree index vacuuming.

By the way, where is the documentation for the cost-based-delay patch?

the relcache, and so the notion of 'blind write' is gone.  This should
improve efficiency in bgwriter and background checkpoint processes.
Internal restructuring in md.c to remove the not-very-useful array of
MdfdVec objects --- might as well just use pointers.
Also remove the long-dead 'persistent main memory' storage manager (mm.c),
since it seems quite unlikely to ever get resurrected.

Natoli and Bruce Momjian (and some cosmetic fixes from Neil Conway).
Changes:

    - remove duplicate signal definitions from pqsignal.h

    - replace pqkill() with kill() and redefine kill() in Win32

    - use ereport() in place of fprintf() in some error handling in
      pqsignal.c

    - export pg_queue_signal() and make use of it where necessary

    - add a console control handler for Ctrl-C and similar handling
      on Win32

    - do WaitForSingleObjectEx() in CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() on Win32;
      query cancelling should now work on Win32

    - various other fixes and cleanups

is asked to assign a variable to itself, it will result in doing a
memcpy() on an entirely-overlapping memory range, which results in
undefined behavior according to ANSI C. That said, it is unlikely to
actually do anything bad on any sane libc, but this keeps valgrind quiet.

Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints
use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit.
Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their
old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.

> * Make pg_restore continue after errors, so it acts more like pg_dump scripts

a series of numbers, optionally using an explicit step size other
than the default value (one). Use function in the information_schema
to replace hard-wired knowledge of INDEX_MAX_KEYS. initdb forced due
to pg_proc change. Documentation update still needed -- will be
committed separately.

Fixed.

valgrind: a buffer passed to strncmp() had to be NUL-terminated. Original
report and patch from Dennis Bjorkland, some cleanup by Andrew Dunstan,
and finally some editorializing from Neil Conway.

run.

-fno-strict-aliasing.

Not sure how this mistake evaded detection for so long.

apparently corrupt the Tcl runtime. Per suggestion from Michael
Brusser <michael@synchronicity.com>

then release locks and loop over renaming to active file name.

 * configure + Makefile changes
 * shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent
cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only)
 * PATH env var separator differences
 * missing win32 rand functions added
 * placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h


To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached
patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some
definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to
first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking
for a patch :-):

        * child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to
put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)

        * dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls

        * dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro

        * slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir
(fixed by next version of MingW)

Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start,
and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just
don't expect too much else from it at this point...


Claudio Natoli

some time ago and recent patch from Gavin Sherry.  Update documentation
to point out that trailing spaces are insignificant in char(n).

silence a valgrind warning.

    appendStringInfo(buf, "%s", str);
with
    appendStringInfoString(buf, str);
as the latter form is slightly faster.
