The authors of bbe0a81db hadn't quite got the idea that macros named like SOMETHING_4B_C were only meant for internal endianness-related details in postgres.h. Choose more legible names for macros that are intended to be used elsewhere. Rearrange postgres.h a bit to clarify the separation between those internal macros and ones intended for wider use. Also, avoid using the term "rawsize" for true decompressed size; we've used "extsize" for that, because "rawsize" generally denotes total Datum size including header. This choice seemed particularly unfortunate in tests that were comparing one of these meanings to the other. This patch includes a couple of not-purely-cosmetic changes: be sure that the shifts aligning compression methods are unsigned (not critical today, but will be when compression method 2 exists), and fix broken definition of VARATT_EXTERNAL_GET_COMPRESSION (now VARATT_EXTERNAL_GET_COMPRESS_METHOD), whose callers worked only accidentally.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. 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. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
