represented as "char ...[4]" not "int32".  Since the length word is never
supposed to be accessed via this struct member anyway, this won't break
any existing code that is following the rules.  The advantage is that C
compilers will no longer assume that a pointer to struct varlena is
word-aligned, which prevents incorrect optimizations in TOAST-pointer
access and perhaps other places.  gcc doesn't seem to do this (at least
not at -O2), but the problem is demonstrable on some other compilers.

I changed struct inet as well, but didn't bother to touch a lot of other
struct definitions in which it wouldn't make any difference because there
were other fields forcing int alignment anyway.  Hopefully none of those
struct definitions are used for accessing unaligned Datums.

make it a bit clearer what it is, and get rid of duplicate definitions
in initdb and pg_ctl.

non-default settings for the postmaster's port number.  The code to parse
command line options and postgresql.conf entries wasn't quite right about
whitespace or quotes, and it was coded in a not-very-readable way too.
Per bug #3969 from Itagaki Takahiro, though this is more extensive than his
proposed patch (which fixed only the whitespace problem).
This code has been broken since it was put in in 8.0, so patch all the way
back.

OID or new relfilenode.  If the existing OIDs are sufficiently densely
populated, this could take a long time (perhaps even be an infinite loop),
so it seems wise to allow the system to respond to a cancel interrupt here.
Per a gripe from Jacky Leng.

Backpatch as far as 8.1.  Older versions just fail on OID collision,
instead of looping.

and RI_FKey_keyequal_upd_fk, as well as no-longer-needed calls of
ri_BuildQueryKeyFull.  Aside from saving a few cycles, this avoids needless
deadlock risks when an update is not changing the columns that participate
in an RI constraint.  Per a gripe from Alexey Nalbat.

Back-patch to 8.3.  Earlier releases did have a need to open the other
relation due to the way in which they retrieved information about the RI
constraint, so this problem unfortunately can't easily be improved pre-8.3.

reorganize code for NetBSD/BSDi port/fseeko.c usage, and make code more
modular.

- Changed INFORMIX mode symbol definition yet again because the old way didn't work on NetBSD. Hopefully this one does.

- Change configure.in to use Autoconf 2.61 and update generated files.
- Update build system and documentation to support now directory variables
  offered by Autoconf 2.61.
- Replace usages of PGAC_CHECK_ALIGNOF by AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF, now available
  in Autoconf 2.61.
- Drop our patched version of AC_C_INLINE, as Autoconf now has the change.

data structures and backend internal APIs.  This solves problems we've seen
recently with inconsistent layout of pg_control between machines that have
32-bit time_t and those that have already migrated to 64-bit time_t.  Also,
we can get out from under the problem that Windows' Unix-API emulation is not
consistent about the width of time_t.

There are a few remaining places where local time_t variables are used to hold
the current or recent result of time(NULL).  I didn't bother changing these
since they do not affect any cross-module APIs and surely all platforms will
have 64-bit time_t before overflow becomes an actual risk.  time_t should
be avoided for anything visible to extension modules, however.

outside the 32-bit-time_t range.  Also, refer to Olson's tz database
as the 'zoneinfo' database, a name that upstream sometimes uses, not
'zic database' which they never use.

this adds support for 64-bit tzdata files, which is needed to support DST
calculations beyond 2038.  Add a regression test case to give some minimal
confidence that that really works.

This seems as close as we can get to the standard's syntax without a
great deal of thrashing.  Original patch by Hiroshi Saito, amended by me.

This was probably protecting some implementation limitation when it was
put in, but as far as I can tell the planner and executor have no such
assumption anymore; the case seems to work fine.  Per a gripe from
Grzegorz Jaskiewicz.

was Tcl 8.4.8.  The main changes are to remove the never-fully-implemented
code for multi-character collating elements, and to const-ify some stuff a
bit more fully.  In combination with the recent security patch, this commit
brings us into line with Tcl 8.5.0.

Note that I didn't make any effort to duplicate a lot of cosmetic changes
that they made to bring their copy into line with their own style
guidelines, such as adding braces around single-line IF bodies.  Most of
those we either had done already (such as ANSI-fication of function headers)
or there is no point because pgindent would undo the change anyway.

- Changed regression test accordingly.

The only correct change was:
- Added SQLSTATE macro closing bug #3961.
