was modified for IPv6.  Use a robust definition of struct sockaddr_storage,
do a proper configure test to see if ss_len exists, don't assume that
getnameinfo() will handle AF_UNIX sockets, don't trust getaddrinfo to
return the protocol we ask for, etc.  This incorporates several outstanding
patches from Kurt Roeckx, but I'm to blame for anything that doesn't
work ...

Along the way, fix some logic problems in pgstat_initstats, notably the
bogus assumption that malloc returns zeroed memory.

I had inadvertently omitted it while rearranging things to support
length-counted incoming messages.  Also, change the parser's API back
to accepting a 'char *' query string instead of 'StringInfo', as the
latter wasn't buying us anything except overhead.  (I think when I put
it in I had some notion of making the parser API 8-bit-clean, but
seeing that flex depends on null-terminated input, that's not really
ever gonna happen.)

field is signed.  Clean up casting.

pgstat_vacuum_tabstat().  Assume that caller (namely, VACUUM) has done
the appropriate state checking beforehand.

ProcKill instead, where we still have a PGPROC with which to wait on
LWLocks.  This fixes 'can't wait without a PROC structure' failures
occasionally seen during backend shutdown (I'm surprised they weren't
more frequent, actually).  Add an Assert() to LWLockAcquire to help
catch any similar mistakes in future.  Fix failure to update MyProcPid
for standalone backends and pgstat processes.

recvfrom(), not void*.)

because c.h has sys/types.h.

(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask,
per earlier discussion.  Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple
header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place).  Don't try to
clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there.  Don't
try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either.  Get rid
of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which
has already caused one recent failure.  Improve documentation.

the statistics collector and makes a number of corrections to the
documentation for SET, SHOW, and COPY.

bitmap, if present).

Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid
or not is carried in the tuple descriptor.  For debugging reasons
tdhasoid is of type char, not bool.  There are predefined values for
WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID.

This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week
and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources.  While I
post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a
current snapshot.  (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to
catch up some day ...)

This is a long patch;  if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it
in smaller pieces:

Part 1:  Accessor macros
Part 2:  tdhasoid in TupDesc
Part 3:  Regression test
Part 4:  Parameter withoid to heap_addheader
Part 5:  Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader

Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and
even in the parser;  the other parts are straightforward.

Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to
databases created with an unpatched version.  Part 5 is small (100
lines) and finally breaks compatibility.

yesterday's proposal to pghackers.  Also remove unnecessary parameters
to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan.  I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the
new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not
force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.

As proof of concept, provide an alternate implementation based on POSIX
semaphores.  Also push the SysV shared-memory implementation into a
separate file so that it can be replaced conveniently.

per recent discussion on pghackers.  Also, fix PGSTAT code to report
errors via elog, not scribbling directly on stderr.

o  Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING.  We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.

o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.

o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.

o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.

Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.

Regression passed.

Patch from sugita@sra.co.jp.

member offset.

tests pass.

environment strings need to be moved around, do so when called from
initial startup (main.c), not in init_ps_status.  This eliminates the
former risk of invalidating saved environment-string pointers, since
no code has yet had a chance to grab any such pointers when main.c
is running.

per suggestion from Peter.  Simplify several APIs by transmitting the
original argv location directly from main.c to ps_status.c, instead of
passing it down through several levels of subroutines.

readability.  Bizarre '(long *) TRUE' return convention is gone,
in favor of just raising an error internally in dynahash.c when
we detect hashtable corruption.  HashTableWalk is gone, in favor
of using hash_seq_search directly, since it had no hope of working
with non-LONGALIGNable datatypes.  Simplify some other code that was
made undesirably grotty by promixity to HashTableWalk.

Partial support for BEOS (not sure whether second fork of grandchild
process needs these extra calls or not; someone who has BEOS will need
to test it).

portability issues).  Caller-visible data structures are now allocated
on MAXALIGN boundaries, allowing safe use of datatypes wider than 'long'.
Rejigger hash_create API so that caller specifies size of key and
total size of entry, not size of key and size of rest of entry.
This simplifies life considerably since each number is just a sizeof(),
and padding issues etc. are taken care of automatically.

(TransactionIdPrecedes, TransactionIdFollows, etc).  First step on the
way to transaction ID wrap solution ...

Make sure it exits immediately when collector process dies --- in old code,
buffer process would hang around and compete with the new buffer process
for packets.  Make sure it doesn't block on writing the pipe when the
collector falls more than a pipeload behind.  Avoid leaking pgstats FDs
into every backend.

platforms system(2) gets confused unless the signal handler is set to
SIG_DFL, not SIG_IGN.  pgstats.c now uses pqsignal() as it should,
not signal().  Also, arrange for the stats collector process to show
a reasonable ID in 'ps', rather than looking like a postmaster.
