2013-02-12Create libpgcommon, and move pg_malloc et al to itAlvaro Herrera
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better to keep them separate. The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc and friends, which many frontend programs were already using. At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the previous one. This lets us clean up some places that were already with localized hacks. Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
2013-02-01Move Assert() definitions to c.hAlvaro Herrera
This way, they can be used by frontend and backend code. We already supported that, but doing it this way allows us to mix true frontend files with backend files compiled in frontend environment. Author: Andres Freund

2007-09-27Define the FRONTEND symbol in postgres_fe.h, which allows us to eliminateTom Lane
duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles. We still need Makefile control of the symbol in a few places that compile frontend-or-backend src/port/ files, but it's a lot cleaner than before. Hiroshi Saito

2004-12-31Tag appropriate files for rc3PostgreSQL Daemon
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...

2001-08-24c.h needs to include postgres_ext.h to be self-contained.Peter Eisentraut
2001-02-10Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: thereTom Lane
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand. Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
