When pg_nodiscard was first added, the C standard draft had it as a
function specifier, and so the code comment about placement was
written with that in mind. The final C23 standard has it as an
attribute and the placement rules are a bit different for that.
Specifically, it needs to be before extern or static. (Or at least
both current clang and gcc require that.) So just swap these. (To be
clear: The current implementation with gcc attributes doesn't care.
This change is just for maximum forward compatibility for non-gcc
compilers.) This also keeps the order consistent with the previously
introduced pg_noreturn. Also update the code comment to reflect the
mentioned developments since its introduction.

We want to support a "noreturn" decoration on more compilers besides
just GCC-compatible ones, but for that we need to move the decoration
in front of the function declaration instead of either behind it or
wherever, which is the current style afforded by GCC-style attributes.
Also rename the macro to "pg_noreturn" to be similar to the C11
standard "noreturn".
pg_noreturn is now supported on all compilers that support C11 (using
_Noreturn), as well as GCC-compatible ones (using __attribute__, as
before), as well as MSVC (using __declspec). (When PostgreSQL
requires C11, the latter two variants can be dropped.)
Now, all supported compilers effectively support pg_noreturn, so the
extra code for !HAVE_PG_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN can be dropped.
This also fixes a possible problem if third-party code includes
stdnoreturn.h, because then the current definition of
#define pg_attribute_noreturn() __attribute__((noreturn))
would cause an error.
Note that the C standard does not support a noreturn attribute on
function pointer types. So we have to drop these here. There are
only two instances at this time, so it's not a big loss. In one case,
we can make up for it by adding the pg_noreturn to a wrapper function
and adding a pg_unreachable(), in the other case, the latter was
already done before.

The C standard says that sizeof(bool) is implementation-defined, but we
know of no current systems where it is not 1. The last known systems
seem to have been Apple macOS/PowerPC 10.5 and Microsoft Visual C++ 4,
both long defunct.
PostgreSQL has always required sizeof(bool) == 1 for the definition of
bool that it used, but previously it would define its own type if the
system-provided bool had a different size. That was liable to cause
memory layout problems when interacting with system and third-party
libraries on (by now hypothetical) computers with wider _Bool, and now
C23 has introduced a new problem by making bool a built-in datatype
(like C++), so the fallback code doesn't even compile. We could
probably work around that, but then we'd be writing new untested code
for a computer that doesn't exist.
Instead, delete the unreachable and C23-uncompilable fallback code, and
let existing static assertions fail if the system-provided bool is too
wide. If we ever get a problem report from a real system, then it will
be time to figure out what to do about it in a way that also works on
modern compilers.
Note on C++: Previously we avoided including <stdbool.h> or trying to
define a new bool type in headers that might be included by C++ code.
These days we might as well just include <stdbool.h> unconditionally:
it should be visible to C++11 but do nothing, just as in C23. We
already include <stdint.h> without C++ guards in c.h, and that falls
under the same C99-compatibility section of the C++11 standard as
<stdbool.h>, so let's remove the guards here too.

Previously we checked "for <stdbool.h> that conforms to C99" using
autoconf's AC_HEADER_STDBOOL macro. We've required C99 since PostgreSQL
12, so the test was redundant, and under C23 it was broken: autoconf
2.69's implementation doesn't understand C23's new empty header (the
macros it's looking for went away, replaced by language keywords).
Later autoconf versions fixed that, but let's just remove the
anachronistic test.
HAVE_STDBOOL_H and HAVE__BOOL will no longer be defined, but they
weren't directly tested in core or likely extensions (except in 11, see
below). PG_USE_STDBOOL (or USE_STDBOOL in 11 and 12) is still defined
when sizeof(bool) is 1, which should be true on all modern systems.
Otherwise we define our own bool type and values of size 1, which would
fail to compile under C23 as revealed by the broken test. (We'll
probably clean that dead code up in master, but here we want a minimal
back-patchable change.)
This came to our attention when GCC 15 recently started using using C23
by default and failed to compile the replacement code, as reported by
Sam James and build farm animal alligator.
Back-patch to all supported releases, and then two older versions that
also know about <stdbool.h>, per the recently-out-of-support policy[1].
12 requires C99 so it's much like the supported releases, but 11 only
assumes C89 so it now uses AC_CHECK_HEADERS instead of the overly picky
AC_HEADER_STDBOOL. (I could find no discussion of which historical
systems had <stdbool.h> but failed the conformance test; if they ever
existed, they surely aren't relevant to that policy's goals.)

Presently, we check for compiler support for the required
intrinsics both with and without extra compiler flags (e.g.,
-mxsave), and then depending on the results of those checks, we
pick which files to compile with which flags. This is tedious and
complicated, and it results in unsustainable coding patterns such
as separate files for each portion of code may need to be built
with different compiler flags.
This commit introduces support for __attribute__((target(...))) and
uses it for the AVX-512 code. This simplifies both the
configure-time checks and the build scripts, and it allows us to
place the functions that use the intrinsics in files that we
otherwise do not want to build with special CPU instructions. We
are careful to avoid using __attribute__((target(...))) on
compilers that do not understand it, but we still perform the
configure-time checks in case the compiler allows using the
intrinsics without it (e.g., MSVC).
A similar change could likely be made for some of the CRC-32C code,
but that is left as a future exercise.

In order to have the option to use O_DIRECT/FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING in a
later commit, we need the addresses of user space buffers to be well
aligned. The exact requirements vary by OS and file system (typically
sectors and/or memory pages). The address alignment size is set to
4096, which is enough for currently known systems: it matches modern
sectors and common memory page size. There is no standard governing
O_DIRECT's requirements so we might eventually have to reconsider this
with more information from the field or future systems.
Aligning I/O buffers on memory pages is also known to improve regular
buffered I/O performance.
Three classes of I/O buffers for regular data pages are adjusted:
(1) Heap buffers are now allocated with the new palloc_aligned() or
MemoryContextAllocAligned() functions introduced by commit 439f6175.
(2) Stack buffers now use a new struct PGIOAlignedBlock to respect
PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, if possible with this compiler. (3) The buffer
pool is also aligned in shared memory.
WAL buffers were already aligned on XLOG_BLCKSZ. It's possible for
XLOG_BLCKSZ to be configured smaller than PG_IO_ALIGNED_SIZE and thus
for O_DIRECT WAL writes to fail to be well aligned, but that's a
pre-existing condition and will be addressed by a later commit.
BufFiles are not yet addressed (there's no current plan to use O_DIRECT
for those, but they could potentially get some incidental speedup even
in plain buffered I/O operations through better alignment).
If we can't align stack objects suitably using the compiler extensions
we know about, we disable the use of O_DIRECT by setting PG_O_DIRECT to
0. This avoids the need to consider systems that have O_DIRECT but
can't align stack objects the way we want; such systems could in theory
be supported with more work but we don't currently know of any such
machines, so it's easier to pretend there is no O_DIRECT support
instead. That's an existing and tested class of system.
Add assertions that all buffers passed into smgrread(), smgrwrite() and
smgrextend() are correctly aligned, unless PG_O_DIRECT is 0 (= stack
alignment tricks may be unavailable) or the block size has been set too
small to allow arrays of buffers to be all aligned.

Alternatively, we could add the include paths for problematic headers with

A more granular alternative would be to use #pragma GCC diagnostic

Until now postgres built extension libraries with global visibility, i.e.
exporting all symbols. On the one platform where that behavior is not
natively available, namely windows, we emulate it by analyzing the input files
to the shared library and exporting all the symbols therein.
Not exporting all symbols is actually desirable, as it can improve loading
speed, reduces the likelihood of symbol conflicts and can improve intra
extension library function call performance. It also makes the non-windows
builds more similar to windows builds.
Additionally, with meson implementing the export-all-symbols behavior for
windows, turns out to be more verbose than desirable.
This patch adds support for hiding symbols by default and, to counteract that,
explicit symbol visibility annotation for compilers that support
__attribute__((visibility("default"))) and -fvisibility=hidden. That is
expected to be most, if not all, compilers except msvc (for which we already
support explicit symbol export annotations).
Now that extension library symbols are explicitly exported, we don't need to
export all symbols on windows anymore, hence remove that behavior from
src/tools/msvc. The supporting code can't be removed, as we still need to
export all symbols from the main postgres binary.

Therefore, we could remove pg_strtouint64(), and use strtoull()
