The trouble with this is that the platform value is hugely variable,

Values of more than a dozen or two have no practical use and slow down
the initialization of the argtypes array. Worse, they cause snprintf.c

Make some fixes to allow building Postgres on macOS 10.14 ("Mojave").
Apple's latest rearrangements of the system-supplied headers have broken
building of PL/Perl and PL/Tcl. The only practical way to fix PL/Tcl is to
start using the "-isysroot" compiler flag to point to SDK-supplied headers,
as Apple expects. We must also start distinguishing where to find Perl's
headers from where to find its shared library; but that seems like good
cleanup anyway.
Extensions that formerly did something like -I$(perl_archlibexp)/CORE
should now do -I$(perl_includedir)/CORE instead. perl_archlibexp
is still the place to look for libperl.so, though.
If for some reason you don't like the default -isysroot setting, you can
override that by setting PG_SYSROOT in configure's arguments. I don't
currently think people would need to do so, unless maybe for cross-version
build purposes.
In addition, teach configure where to find tclConfig.sh. Our traditional
method of searching $auto_path hasn't worked for the last couple of macOS
releases, and it now seems clear that Apple's not going to change that.
The workaround of manually specifying --with-tclconfig was annoying

has to be included as well. Let's just wire the knowledge into configure
instead. To avoid breaking builds against non-default Tcl installations

Fix failure in WHERE CURRENT OF after rewinding the referenced cursor.
In a case where we have multiple relation-scan nodes in a cursor plan,

given scan node, then rewind the cursor and fetch some row from an
earlier scan node. In such a case, execCurrent.c mistakenly thought
that the later scan node was still active, because ExecReScan hadn't
done anything to make it look not-active. We'd get some sort of

scan node types we'd actually return a valid tuple TID to the caller,
resulting in updating or deleting a tuple that shouldn't have been
considered current. To fix, forcibly clear the ScanTupleSlot in
ExecScanReScan.
Another issue here, which seems only latent at the moment but could
easily become a live bug in future, is that rewinding a cursor does
not necessarily lead to *immediately* applying ExecReScan to every
scan-level node in the plan tree. Upper-level nodes will think that
they can postpone that call if their child node is already marked
with chgParam flags. I don't see a way for that to happen today in
a plan tree that's simple enough for execCurrent.c's search_plan_tree
to understand, but that's one heck of a fragile assumption. So, add
some logic in search_plan_tree to detect chgParam flags being set on
nodes that it descended to/through, and assume that that means we

ReScan call hasn't actually happened yet.

Fix some probably-minor oversights in readfuncs.c.
The system expects TABLEFUNC RTEs to have coltypes, coltypmods, and
colcollations lists, but outfuncs doesn't dump them and readfuncs doesn't
restore them. This doesn't cause obvious failures, because the only things
that look at those fields are expandRTE() and get_rte_attribute_type(),
which are mostly used during parse analysis, before anything would've
passed the parsetree through outfuncs/readfuncs. But expandRTE() is used
in build_physical_tlist(), which means that that function will return a
wrong answer for a TABLEFUNC RTE that came from a view. Very accidentally,
this doesn't cause serious problems, because what it will return is NIL
which callers will interpret as "couldn't build a physical tlist because
of dropped columns". So you still get a plan that works, though it's
marginally less efficient than it could be. There are also some other
expandRTE() calls associated with transformation of whole-row Vars in
the planner. I have been unable to exhibit misbehavior from that, and
it may be unreachable in any case that anyone would care about ... but
I'm not entirely convinced, so this seems like something we should back-
patch a fix for. Fortunately, we can fix it without forcing a change
of stored rules and a catversion bump, because we can just copy these
lists from the subsidiary TableFunc object.
readfuncs.c was also missing support for NamedTuplestoreScan plan nodes.
This accidentally fails to break parallel query because a query using
a named tuplestore would never be considered parallel-safe anyway.
However, project policy since parallel query came in is that all plan
node types should have outfuncs/readfuncs support, so this is clearly
an oversight that should be repaired.

Fix failure with initplans used conditionally during EvalPlanQual rechecks.
The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that any initplans (that is,
uncorrelated sub-selects) used during an EPQ recheck would have already
been evaluated during the main query; this is implicit in the fact that
execPlan pointers are not copied into the EPQ estate's es_param_exec_vals.
But it's possible for that assumption to fail, if the initplan is only
reached conditionally. For example, a sub-select inside a CASE expression
could be reached during a recheck when it had not been previously, if the
CASE test depends on a column that was just updated.
This bug is old, appearing to date back to my rewrite of EvalPlanQual in
commit 9f2ee8f28, but was not detected until Kyle Samson reported a case.
To fix, force all not-yet-evaluated initplans used within the EPQ plan
subtree to be evaluated at the start of the recheck, before entering the
EPQ environment. This could be inefficient, if such an initplan is
expensive and goes unused again during the recheck --- but that's piling
one layer of improbability atop another. It doesn't seem worth adding
more complexity to prevent that, at least not in the back branches.

Fix ALTER/TYPE on columns referenced by FKs in partitioned tables
When ALTER TABLE ... SET DATA TYPE affects a column referenced by
constraints and indexes, it drop those constraints and indexes and
recreates them afterwards, so that the definitions match the new data
type. The original code did this by dropping one object at a time
(commit 077db40fa1f3 of May 2004), which worked fine because the
dependencies between the objects were pretty straightforward, and
ordering the objects in a specific way was enough to make this work.
However, when there are foreign key constraints in partitioned tables,
the dependencies are no longer so straightforward, and we were getting
errors when attempted:
ERROR: cache lookup failed for constraint 16398
This can be fixed by doing all the drops in one pass instead, using
performMultipleDeletions (introduced by df18c51f2955 of Aug 2006). With
this change we can also remove the code to carefully order the list of
objects to be deleted.

Remove ruleutils.c's special case for BIT [VARYING] literals.
Up to now, get_const_expr() insisted on prefixing BIT and VARBIT

Moreover, it's subtly wrong for VARBIT, because the parser will
interpret B'...' as '...'::"bit"; see make_const() which explicitly
assigns type BITOID for a T_BitString literal. So what had been
a simple VARBIT literal is reconstructed as ('...'::"bit")::varbit,

Prevent mis-linking of src/port and src/common functions on *BSD.
On ELF-based platforms (and maybe others?) it's possible for a shared
library, when dynamically loaded into the backend, to call the backend
versions of src/port and src/common functions rather than the frontend
versions that are actually linked into the shlib. This is the cause
of bug #15367 from Jeremy Evans, and is likely to lead to more problems
in future; it's accidental that we've failed to notice any bad effects
up to now.
The recommended way to fix this on ELF-based platforms is to use a
linker "version script" that makes the shlib's versions of the functions
local. (Apparently, -Bsymbolic would fix it as well, but with other
side effects that we don't want.) Doing so has the additional benefit
that we can make sure the shlib only exposes the symbols that are meant
to be part of its API, and not ones that are just for cross-file
references within the shlib. So we'd already been using a version
script for libpq on popular platforms, but it's now apparent that it's
necessary for correctness on every ELF-based platform.
Hence, add appropriate logic to the openbsd, freebsd, and netbsd stanzas
of Makefile.shlib; this is just a copy-and-paste from the linux stanza.

Save/restore SPI's global variables in SPI_connect() and SPI_finish().

Chapman Flack pointed out that xml.c's query_to_xml_internal() expects

re-entrant use of SPI. It seems likely that there are similar hazards
elsewhere, if not in the core code then in third-party SPI users.
Previously SPI_finish() reset SPI's API globals to zeroes/nulls, which
would typically make for a crash in such a situation. Restoring them
to the values they had at SPI_connect() seems like a considerably more
useful behavior, and it still meets the design goal of not leaving any
dangling pointers to tuple tables of the function being exited.
Also, cause SPI_connect() to reset these variables to zeroes/nulls after
saving them. This prevents interference in the opposite direction: it's
possible that a SPI-using function that's only ever been tested standalone
contains assumptions that these variables start out as zeroes. That was

Fix longstanding recursion hazard in sinval message processing.
LockRelationOid and sibling routines supposed that, if our session already
holds the lock they were asked to acquire, they could skip calling
AcceptInvalidationMessages on the grounds that we must have already read
any remote sinval messages issued against the relation being locked.
This is normally true, but there's a critical special case where it's not:
processing inside AcceptInvalidationMessages might attempt to access system
relations, resulting in a recursive call to acquire a relation lock.
Hence, if the outer call had acquired that same system catalog lock, we'd
fall through, despite the possibility that there's an as-yet-unread sinval
message for that system catalog. This could, for example, result in
failure to access a system catalog or index that had just been processed
by VACUUM FULL. This is the explanation for buildfarm failures we've been
seeing intermittently for the past three months. The bug is far older
than that, but commits a54e1f158 et al added a new recursion case within
AcceptInvalidationMessages that is apparently easier to hit than any
previous case.
To fix this, we must not skip calling AcceptInvalidationMessages until
we have *finished* a call to it since acquiring a relation lock, not
merely acquired the lock. (There's already adequate logic inside
AcceptInvalidationMessages to deal with being called recursively.)
Fortunately, we can implement that at trivial cost, by adding a flag
to LOCALLOCK hashtable entries that tracks whether we know we have
completed such a call.
There is an API hazard added by this patch for external callers of
LockAcquire: if anything is testing for LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_HELD,
it might be fooled by the new return code LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_CLEAR

Make argument names of pg_get_object_address consistent, and fix docs.
pg_get_object_address and pg_identify_object_as_address are supposed
to be inverses, but they disagreed as to the names of the arguments
representing the textual form of an object address. Moreover, the
documented argument names didn't agree with reality at all, either
for these functions or pg_identify_object.
In HEAD and v11, I think we can get away with renaming the input
arguments of pg_get_object_address to match the outputs of
pg_identify_object_as_address. In theory that might break queries
using named-argument notation to call pg_get_object_address, but
it seems really unlikely that anybody is doing that, or that they'd
have much trouble adjusting if they were. In older branches, we'll
just live with the lack of consistency.
Aside from fixing the documentation of these functions to match reality,
I couldn't resist the temptation to do some copy-editing.
Per complaint from Jean-Pierre Pelletier. Back-patch to 9.5 where these
functions were introduced. (Before v11, this is a documentation change
only.)
In the original code, we were storing the pg_inherits row for a
partitioned table too early: enough that we had a hack for relcache to
avoid falling flat on its face while reading such a partial entry. If
we finish the pg_class creation first and *then* store the pg_inherits
entry, we don't need that hack.
Also recognize that pg_class.relpartbound is not marked NOT NULL and
therefore it's entirely possible to read null values, so having only
Assert() protection isn't enough. Change those to if/elog tests
instead. This qualifies as a robustness fix, so backpatch to pg11.
In passing, remove one access that wasn't actually needed, and reword
one message to be like all the others that check for the same thing.

Fully enforce uniqueness of constraint names.
It's been true for a long time that we expect names of table and domain
constraints to be unique among the constraints of that table or domain.
However, the enforcement of that has been pretty haphazard, and it missed
some corner cases such as creating a CHECK constraint and then an index
constraint of the same name (as per recent report from André Hänsel).
Also, due to the lack of an actual unique index enforcing this, duplicates
could be created through race conditions.
Moreover, the code that searches pg_constraint has been quite inconsistent
about how to handle duplicate names if one did occur: some places checked
and threw errors if there was more than one match, while others just
processed the first match they came to.
To fix, create a unique index on (conrelid, contypid, conname). Since
either conrelid or contypid is zero, this will separately enforce
uniqueness of constraint names among constraints of any one table and any
one domain. (If we ever implement SQL assertions, and put them into this
catalog, more thought might be needed. But it'd be at least as reasonable
to put them into a new catalog; having overloaded this one catalog with
two kinds of constraints was a mistake already IMO.) This index can replace
the existing non-unique index on conrelid, though we need to keep the one
on contypid for query performance reasons.
Having done that, we can simplify the logic in various places that either
coped with duplicates or neglected to, as well as potentially improve
lookup performance when searching for a constraint by name.
Also, as per our usual practice, install a preliminary check so that you
get something more friendly than a unique-index violation report in the
case complained of by André. And teach ChooseIndexName to avoid choosing
autogenerated names that would draw such a failure.
While it's not possible to make such a change in the back branches,
it doesn't seem quite too late to put this into v11, so do so.

Fix memory leak in TRUNCATE decoding
When decoding a TRUNCATE record, the relids array was being allocated in
the main ReorderBuffer memory context, but not released with the change

The array was also ignored when serializing/deserializing the change,
assuming all the information is stored in the change itself. So when
spilling the change to disk, we've only we have serialized only the
pointer to the relids array. Thanks to never releasing the array,
the pointer however remained valid even after loading the change back
to memory, preventing an actual crash.
This fixes both the memory leak and (de)serialization. The relids array
is still allocated in the main ReorderBuffer memory context (none of the

like an overkill). The allocation is wrapped in a new ReorderBuffer API

Avoid using potentially-under-aligned page buffers.
There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local
or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or
malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's
been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got
away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use
platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the
variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not
something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump,
we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses.
To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock
that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use
those in place of plain char arrays.
I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a
misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make
kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where
we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style
uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead.

Ensure correct minimum consistent point on standbys
Startup process has improved its calculation of incorrect minimum
consistent point in 8d68ee6, which ensures that all WAL available gets
replayed when doing crash recovery, and has introduced an incorrect
calculation of the minimum recovery point for non-startup processes,
which can cause incorrect page references on a standby when for example
the background writer flushed a couple of pages on-disk but was not
updating the control file to let a subsequent crash recovery replay to
where it should have.
The only case where this has been reported to be a problem is when a
standby needs to calculate the latest removed xid when replaying a btree
deletion record, so one would need connections on a standby that happen
just after recovery has thought it reached a consistent point. Using a
background worker which is started after the consistent point is reached
would be the easiest way to get into problems if it connects to a
database. Having clients which attempt to connect periodically could
also be a problem, but the odds of seeing this problem are much lower.
The fix used is pretty simple, as the idea is to give access to the
minimum recovery point written in the control file to non-startup
processes so as they use a reference, while the startup process still
initializes its own references of the minimum consistent point so as the
original problem with incorrect page references happening post-promotion
with a crash do not show up.

Disable support for partitionwise joins in problematic cases.
Commit f49842d, which added support for partitionwise joins, built the
child's tlist by applying adjust_appendrel_attrs() to the parent's. So in
the case where the parent's included a whole-row Var for the parent, the
child's contained a ConvertRowtypeExpr. To cope with that, that commit
added code to the planner, such as setrefs.c, but some code paths still
assumed that the tlist for a scan (or join) rel would only include Vars
and PlaceHolderVars, which was true before that commit, causing errors:
* When creating an explicit sort node for an input path for a mergejoin
path for a child join, prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() threw the 'could not
find pathkey item to sort' error.
* When deparsing a relation participating in a pushed down child join as a
subquery in contrib/postgres_fdw, get_relation_column_alias_ids() threw
the 'unexpected expression in subquery output' error.
* When performing set_plan_references() on a local join plan generated by
contrib/postgres_fdw for EvalPlanQual support for a pushed down child
join, fix_join_expr() threw the 'variable not found in subplan target
lists' error.
To fix these, two approaches have been proposed: one by Ashutosh Bapat and
one by me. While the former keeps building the child's tlist with a
ConvertRowtypeExpr, the latter builds it with a whole-row Var for the
child not to violate the planner assumption, and tries to fix it up later,
But both approaches need more work, so refuse to generate partitionwise
join paths when whole-row Vars are involved, instead. We don't need to
handle ConvertRowtypeExprs in the child's tlists for now, so this commit
also removes the changes to the planner.
Previously, partitionwise join computed attr_needed data for each child
separately, and built the child join's tlist using that data, which also
required an extra step for adding PlaceHolderVars to that tlist, but it
would be more efficient to build it from the parent join's tlist through
the adjust_appendrel_attrs() transformation. So this commit builds that
list that way, and simplifies build_joinrel_tlist() and placeholder.c as
well as part of set_append_rel_size() to basically what they were before
partitionwise join went in.
