There were a number of useless casts in format arguments, either
where the input to the cast was already in the right type, or
seemingly uselessly casting between types instead of just using the
right format placeholder to begin with.

This commit rewrites a good chunk of the command arrays in TAP tests
with a grammar based on the following rules:
- Fat commas are used between option names and their values, making it
clear to both humans and perltidy that values and names are bound
together. This is particularly useful for the readability of multi-line
command arrays, and there are plenty of them in the TAP tests. Most of
the test code is updated to use this style. Some commands used
parenthesis to show the link, or attached values and options in a single
string. These are updated to use fat commas instead.
- Option names are switched to use their long names, making them more
self-documented. Based on a suggestion by Andrew Dunstan.
- Add some trailing commas after the last item in multi-line arrays,
which is a common perl style.
Not all the places are taken care of, but this covers a very good chunk
of them.

Several places treat MyStartTime as a "long", which is only 32 bits
wide on some platforms. In reality, MyStartTime is a pg_time_t,
i.e., a signed 64-bit integer. This will lead to interesting bugs
on the aforementioned systems in 2038 when signed 32-bit integers
are no longer sufficient to store Unix time (e.g., "pg_ctl start"
hanging). To fix, ensure that MyStartTime is handled as a 64-bit
value everywhere. (Of course, users will need to ensure that
time_t is 64 bits wide on their system, too.)

If pg_ctl tries to start the postmaster, but the postmaster shuts down
because it completed a point-in-time recovery, pg_ctl used to report
a message that indicated a failure. It's not really a failure, so
instead say "server shut down because of recovery target settings".

This acts as a revert of b83747a8a65b and 9886744a361b. As pointed out
by Noah, HEAD and REL_17_STABLE are in a weird state where the code
paths adding /D would limit the spawn of child processes, but we still
have code paths where the spawn of more than one child process(es) would
be possible.
Let's remove these /D switches for now, to bring back the code into a
state consistent with how autorun is configured on a Windows host.

Files in common/ and fe_utils/ that contain translatable strings need
to be listed in the nls.mk files of the programs that use them. (Not
great, but that's the way it works for now.) This usually requires
some manual analysis which is done about once during each major
release beta period. This time, I wrote a hackish script that figures
some of this out more automatically, so this update is a bit larger as
it also includes some files that were missed in the past.

warnings
This checks that certain I/O-related Perl functions properly check
their return value. Some parts of the PostgreSQL code had been a bit
sloppy about that. The new perlcritic warnings are fixed here. I
didn't design any beautiful error messages, mostly just used "or die
$!", which mostly matches existing code, and also this is
developer-level code, so having the system error plus source code
reference should be ok.
Initially, we only activate this check for a subset of what the
perlcritic check would warn about. The effective list is
chmod flock open read rename seek symlink system
The initial set of functions is picked because most existing code
already checked the return value of those, so any omissions are
probably unintended, or because it seems important for test
correctness.
The actual perlcritic configuration is written as an exclude list.
That seems better so that we are clear on what we are currently not
checking. Maybe future patches want to investigate checking some of
the other functions. (In principle, we might eventually want to check
all of them, but since this is test and build support code, not
production code, there are probably some reasonable compromises to be
made.)

Most callers of strerror() are removed from the backend code. The
remaining callers require special handling with a saved errno from a
previous system call. The frontend code still needs strerror() where
error states need to be handled outside of fprintf.
Note that pg_regress is not changed to use %m as the TAP output may
clobber errno, since those functions call fprintf() and friends before
evaluating the format string.
Support for %m in src/port/snprintf.c has been added in d6c55de1f99a,
hence all the stable branches currently supported include it.

On Windows, cmd.exe is used to launch the postmaster process to ease its
redirection setup. However, cmd.exe may execute other programs at
startup due to autorun configurations, which could influence the
postmaster startup. This patch adds /D flag to the launcher cmd.exe
command line to disable autorun settings written in the registry.
This is arguably a bug, but no backpatch is done now out of caution.

There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation
and TAP tests. Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings. These
are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make
a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests
when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine
definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a
lot of output in a verbose build.
This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing
use warnings;
by
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
in all Perl files.

A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation. We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.
Now this has at least two problems:
One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.
Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.
The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.
This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.
(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now.
The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)
The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):
- bison
- flex
- perl

Since C99, there can be a trailing comma after the last value in an
enum definition. A lot of new code has been introducing this style on
the fly. Some new patches are now taking an inconsistent approach to
this. Some add the last comma on the fly if they add a new last
value, some are trying to preserve the existing style in each place,
some are even dropping the last comma if there was one. We could
nudge this all in a consistent direction if we just add the trailing
commas everywhere once.
I omitted a few places where there was a fixed "last" value that will
always stay last. I also skipped the header files of libpq and ecpg,
in case people want to use those with older compilers. There were
also a small number of cases where the enum type wasn't used anywhere
(but the enum values were), which ended up confusing pgindent a bit,
so I left those alone.

Run pgindent, pgperltidy, and reformat-dat-files.
This set of diffs is a bit larger than typical. We've updated to
pg_bsd_indent 2.1.2, which properly indents variable declarations that
have multi-line initialization expressions (the continuation lines are
now indented one tab stop). We've also updated to perltidy version
20230309 and changed some of its settings, which reduces its desire to
add whitespace to lines to make assignments etc. line up. Going
forward, that should make for fewer random-seeming changes to existing
code.

Some callers didn't check the return value of pclose() or
ClosePipeStream() correctly. Either they didn't check it at all or
they treated it like the return of fclose().
The correct way is to first check whether the return value is -1, and
then report errno, and then check the return value like a result from
system(), for which we already have wait_result_to_str() to make it
simpler. To make this more compact, expand wait_result_to_str() to
also handle -1 explicitly.

It's unclear why a separate type would be needed here. We use plain
pid_t (or int) everywhere else.
(The only relevant platform where pid_t is not int is 64-bit MinGW,
where it is long long int. So defining pid_t as long (which is 32-bit
on Windows), as was done here, doesn't even accommodate that one.)

The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old
buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were
mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in
at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a
"auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases -
unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

using "int signum" or variants of that. We evidently have no

This commit changes the following code paths to do direct system calls
to some WIN32 functions rather than loading them from an external
library, shaving some code in the process:
- Creation of restricted tokens in pg_ctl.c, introduced by a25cd81.
- QuerySecurityContextToken() in auth.c for SSPI authentication in the
backend, introduced in d602592.
- CreateRestrictedToken() in src/common/. This change is similar to the
case of pg_ctl.c.
Most of these functions were loaded rather than directly called because,
as mentioned in the code comments, MinGW headers were not declaring
them. I have double-checked the recent MinGW code, and all the
functions changed here are declared in its headers, so this change
should be safe. Note that I do not have a MinGW environment at hand so
I have not tested it directly, but that MSVC was fine with the change.
The buildfarm will tell soon enough if this change is appropriate or not
for a much broader set of environments.
A few code paths still use GetProcAddress() to load some functions:
- LDAP authentication for ldap_start_tls_sA(), where I am not confident
that this change would work.
- win32env.c and win32ntdll.c where we have a per-MSVC version
dependency for the name of the library loaded.
- crashdump.c for MiniDumpWriteDump() and EnumDirTree(), where direct
calls were not able to work after testing.

Note that this removes an assumption that CreateRestrictedToken() may

More than twenty years ago (79fcde48b), we hacked the postmaster
to avoid a core-dump on systems that didn't support fflush(NULL).
We've mostly, though not completely, hewed to that rule ever since.
But such systems are surely gone in the wild, so in the spirit of
cleaning out no-longer-needed portability hacks let's get rid of
multiple per-file fflush() calls in favor of using fflush(NULL).
Also, we were fairly inconsistent about whether to fflush() before
popen() and system() calls. While we've received no bug reports
about that, it seems likely that at least some of these call sites
are at risk of odd behavior, such as error messages appearing in
an unexpected order. Rather than expend a lot of brain cells
figuring out which places are at hazard, let's just establish a
uniform coding rule that we should fflush(NULL) before these calls.
A no-op fflush() is surely of trivial cost compared to launching
a sub-process via a shell; while if it's not a no-op then we likely
need it.

manually fix its oversight, let's change to using "$(wildcard *.c)"
in all these nls.mk files.
Many of these files also have manual references to some *.c files
in other directories, most often src/common/. Perhaps we should try
to improve that situation too; but it's a bit less clear how, so for
now just fix the local file references.

This moves the list of available languages from nls.mk into a separate
file called po/LINGUAS. Advantages:
- It keeps the parts notionally managed by programmers (nls.mk)
separate from the parts notionally managed by translators (LINGUAS).
- It's the standard practice recommended by the Gettext manual
nowadays.
- The Meson build system also supports this layout (and of course
doesn't know anything about our custom nls.mk), so this would enable
sharing the list of languages between the two build systems.
(The MSVC build system currently finds all po files by globbing, so it
is not affected by this change.)

This commit bumps the runtime value of _WIN32_WINNT to be 0x0A00 for any
builds on Windows. Hence, this makes Windows 10 the minimal requirement
when running PostgreSQL under WIN32, be it for builds of Cygwin, MinGW
or Visual Studio.
The previous minimal runtime version was either Windows Vista when
building with at least Visual Studio 2015 or Windows XP for the rest.
Windows 10 is the most modern version supported by Microsoft, and per
discussion, as we don't have buildfarm members that run older versions
anymore, this is the minimal supported version that suits better for our
needs. This will actually make easier the development of some patches,
two being async I/O and large page handling by avoiding a lot of
compatibility gotchas, on platforms that have most likely few users
anyway.
It is possible to remove MIN_WINNT in win32.h and the macros
IsWindowsXXXOrGreater() that were used in the code at runtime to check
which version of Windows was getting used. The change in pg_locale.c
comes from Juan. Note that all my tests passed, and that the CI is
green. The buildfarm will quickly tell if this needs more adjustments.

standardize on pg_fatal() and apply it where possible.
Invent the ability to add "detail" and "hint" messages to a
frontend message, much as we have long had in the backend.
Except where rewording was needed to convert existing coding
to detail/hint style, I have (mostly) resisted the temptation
to change existing message wording.
Patch by me. Design and patch reviewed at various stages by
Robert Haas, Kyotaro Horiguchi, Peter Eisentraut and
Daniel Gustafsson.

Exclusive-mode backups have been deprecated since 9.6 (when
non-exclusive backups were introduced) due to the issues
they can cause should the system crash while one is running and
generally because non-exclusive provides a much better interface.
Further, exclusive backup mode wasn't really being tested (nor was most
of the related code- like being able to log in just to stop an exclusive
backup and the bits of the state machine related to that) and having to
possibly deal with an exclusive backup and the backup_label file
existing during pg_basebackup, pg_rewind, etc, added other complexities
that we are better off without.
This patch removes the exclusive backup mode, the various special cases
for dealing with it, and greatly simplifies the online backup code and
documentation.

This is a follow-up to commit 7dac61402 which removed a set of unused
modules from the TAP test.
The Config references in the pg_ctl and pg_rewind tests were removed
in commit 1c6d46293. Fcntl ':mode' and File::stat in the pg_ctl test
were added in c37b3d08c which was probably a leftover from an earlier
version of the patch, as the function using these was added to another
module in that commit.
The Config reference in the ldap test was added in ee56c3b21 which in
turn use $^O instead of interrogating Config.

Slow hosts may avoid load-induced, spurious failures by setting
environment variable PG_TEST_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT to some number of seconds
greater than 180. Developers may see faster failures by setting that
environment variable to some lesser number of seconds. In tests, write
$PostgreSQL::Test::Utils::timeout_default wherever the convention has
been to write 180. This change raises the default for some briefer
timeouts. Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions).

Following migration of Windows buildfarm members running TAP tests to
use of ucrt64 perl for those tests, special processing for msys perl is
no longer necessary and so is removed.
Backpatch to release 10
