There's three prongs to achieve greater efficiency here: 1) Allow reusing a stringbuffer across pq_beginmessage/endmessage, with the new pq_beginmessage_reuse/endmessage_reuse. This can be beneficial both because it avoids allocating the initial buffer, and because it's more likely to already have an correctly sized buffer. 2) Replacing pq_sendint() with pq_sendint$width() inline functions. Previously unnecessary and unpredictable branches in pq_sendint() were needed. Additionally the replacement functions are implemented more efficiently. pq_sendint is now deprecated, a separate commit will convert all in-tree callers. 3) Add pq_writeint$width(), pq_writestring(). These rely on sufficient space in the StringInfo's buffer, avoiding individual space checks & potential individual resizing. To allow this to be used for strings, expose mbutil.c's MAX_CONVERSION_GROWTH. Followup commits will make use of these facilities.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
