The complement-class escapes \D, \S, \W are now allowed within bracket expressions. There is no semantic difficulty with doing that, but the rather hokey macro-expansion-based implementation previously used here couldn't cope. Also, invent "word" as an allowed character class name, thus "\w" is now equivalent to "[[:word:]]" outside brackets, or "[:word:]" within brackets. POSIX allows such implementation-specific extensions, and the same name is used in e.g. bash. One surprising compatibility issue this raises is that constructs such as "[\w-_]" are now disallowed, as our documentation has always said they should be: character classes can't be endpoints of a range. Previously, because \w was just a macro for "[:alnum:]_", such a construct was read as "[[:alnum:]_-_]", so it was accepted so long as the character after "-" was numerically greater than or equal to "_". Some implementation cleanup along the way: * Remove the lexnest() hack, and in consequence clean up wordchrs() to not interact with the lexer. * Fix colorcomplement() to not be O(N^2) in the number of colors involved. * Get rid of useless-as-far-as-I-can-see calls of element() on single-character character element names in brackpart(). element() always maps these to the character itself, and things would be quite broken if it didn't --- should "[a]" match something different than "a" does? Besides, the shortcut path in brackpart() wasn't doing this anyway, making it even more inconsistent.

Test extensions and libraries ============================= src/test/modules contains PostgreSQL extensions that are primarily or entirely intended for testing PostgreSQL and/or to serve as example code. The extensions here aren't intended to be installed in a production server and aren't suitable for "real work". Furthermore, while you can do "make install" and "make installcheck" in this directory or its children, it is NOT ADVISABLE to do so with a server containing valuable data. Some of these tests may have undesirable side-effects on roles or other global objects within the tested server. "make installcheck-world" at the top level does not recurse into this directory. Most extensions have their own pg_regress tests or isolationtester specs. Some are also used by tests elsewhere in the tree. If you're adding new hooks or other functionality exposed as C-level API this is where to add the tests for it.
