prefix, instead of assuming it will always be following the default layout.
All information we need is not available on Windows, but the number of
assumptions are at least fewer this way than before.
Based on suggestions from James William Pye.
and allow using config.pl to override the defaults. config.pl is removed from
the repository, so changes there will no longer show up when doing diff, and
will not prevent switching branches and such things.
config.pl would normally be used to override single values, but if an
old-style config.pl is read, it will override the entire default configuration,
making it backwards compatible.
symbols both using __declspec(dllexport) (via the PGDLLIMPORT macro) and using
full-dll-export. This works without warning on Win32, but not on Win64.
In passing, fix the fact that the framework could never deal with more than
one disbled linker warning - because MSVC wants commas between linker warnings,
and semicolons between compiler warnings...
pg_attribute, by having genbki.pl derive the information from the various
catalog header files. This greatly simplifies modification of the
"bootstrapped" catalogs.
This patch finally kills genbki.sh and Gen_fmgrtab.sh; we now rely entirely on
Perl scripts for those build steps. To avoid creating a Perl build dependency
where there was not one before, the output files generated by these scripts
are now treated as distprep targets, ie, they will be built and shipped in
tarballs. But you will need a reasonably modern Perl (probably at least
5.6) if you want to build from a CVS pull.
The changes to the MSVC build process are untested, and may well break ---
we'll soon find out from the buildfarm.
John Naylor, based on ideas from Robert Haas and others
directly. This was a lot of trouble, but should be worth it in terms of
not having to keep the plpgsql lexer in step with core anymore. In addition
the handling of keywords is significantly better-structured, allowing us to
de-reserve a number of words that plpgsql formerly treated as reserved.
