for it. Hopefully will fix core dump evidenced by some buildfarm members
since fadvise patch went in. The actual definition of the function is not
ABI-compatible with compiler's default assumption in the absence of any
declaration, so it's clearly unsafe to try to call it without seeing a
declaration.
o remove many WIN32_CLIENT_ONLY defines
o add WIN32_ONLY_COMPILER define
o add 3rd argument to open() for portability
o add include/port/win32_msvc directory for
system includes

no evidence that any currently-supported platform needs this, and good
reason to think that any platform that did need it couldn't use the static
libraries anyway --- libpq, at least, has circular references. Removing
the code shuts up tsort warnings about the circular references on some
platforms.
MemSet on AIX by setting MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT to zero.
Add optimization to skip MemSet tests in MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT == 0 case and
just call memset() directly.
It seems that recent gcc versions can optimize away calls to these functions
even when the functions do not exist on the platform, resulting in a bogus
positive result. Avoid this by using a non-constant argument and ensuring
that the function result is not simply discarded. Per report from
François Laupretre.
Windows. The test itself is bypassed in configure as discussed, and
libpq has been updated appropriately to allow it to build in thread-safe
mode.

to 'Size' (that is, size_t), and install overflow detection checks in it.
This allows us to remove the former arbitrary restrictions on NBuffers
etc. It won't make any difference in a 32-bit machine, but in a 64-bit
machine you could theoretically have terabytes of shared buffers.
(How efficiently we could manage 'em remains to be seen.) Similarly,
num_temp_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem can be set above
2Gb on a 64-bit machine. Original patch from Koichi Suzuki, additional
work by moi.
of special case for Windows port. Put a PG_TRY around most of createdb()
to ensure that we remove copied subdirectories on failure, even if the
failure happens while creating the pg_database row. (I think this explains
Oliver Siegmar's recent report.) Having done that, there's no need for
the fragile assumption that copydir() mustn't ereport(ERROR), so simplify
its API. Eliminate the old code that used system("cp ...") to copy
subdirectories, in favor of using copydir() on all platforms. This not
only should allow much better error reporting, but allows us to fsync
the created files before trusting that the copy has succeeded.
