2023-03-08meson: Add target for installing test files & improve install_test_filesAndres Freund
The changes in b6a0d469cae prevented installation of the test files during a normal install. However, the buildfarm intentionally tries to trun the tests against a "real" installation. The new install-test-files target provides that ability. Because we want to install into a normal directory, I removed the necessary munging of the target paths from meson.build and moved it into install-test-files. I also added DESTDIR support, so that installing can redirect the directory if desired. That's used for the tmp_install/ installation now. I didn't like the number of arguments necessary for install_test_files, so I changed it to use --install target list of files which makes it easier to use for further directories, if/when we need them.

2023-03-08meson: don't require 'touch' binary, make use of 'cp' optionalAndres Freund
We already didn't use touch (some earlier version of the meson build did ), and cp is only used for updating unicode files. The latter already depends on the optional availability of 'wget', so doing the same for 'cp' makes sense. Eventually we probably want a portable command for updating source code as part of a target, but for now...

2023-03-03meson: Prevent installation of test files during main installPeter Eisentraut
Previously, meson installed modules under src/test/modules/ as part of a normal installation, even though these files are only meant for use by tests. This is because there is no way to set up up the build system to install extra things only when told. This patch fixes that with a workaround: We don't install these modules as part of meson install, but we create a new "test" that runs before the real tests whose action it is to install these files. The installation is done by manual copies using a small helper script.

2023-02-24meson: windows: Fix tmp_install + prefix computation with meson 1.0.1Andres Freund
In d0366bfb3b21 I said: Instead of trying to do this in meson.build, call out to the implementation meson install uses. This isn't pretty, but it's more reliable than what we had before. Unfortunately it was too ugly - to fix a bug, meson 1.0.1 changed the way the meson internal runpython helper works, resulting in the previous sys.argv[] indices not working anymore. Just open-code it - it's just a few characters longer. Committing this quickly to allow ci/cfbot to work with meson 1.0.1 on windows.

2023-02-15Fix handling of SCRAM-SHA-256's channel binding with RSA-PSS certificatesMichael Paquier
OpenSSL 1.1.1 and newer versions have added support for RSA-PSS certificates, which requires the use of a specific routine in OpenSSL to determine which hash function to use when compiling it when using channel binding in SCRAM-SHA-256. X509_get_signature_nid(), that is the original routine the channel binding code has relied on, is not able to determine which hash algorithm to use for such certificates. However, X509_get_signature_info(), new to OpenSSL 1.1.1, is able to do it. This commit switches the channel binding logic to rely on X509_get_signature_info() over X509_get_signature_nid(), which would be the choice when building with 1.1.1 or newer. The error could have been triggered on the client or the server, hence libpq and the backend need to have their related code paths patched. Note that attempting to load an RSA-PSS certificate with OpenSSL 1.1.0 or older leads to a failure due to an unsupported algorithm. The discovery of relying on X509_get_signature_info() comes from Jacob, the tests have been written by Heikki (with few tweaks from me), while I have bundled the whole together while adding the bits needed for MSVC and meson. This issue exists since channel binding exists, so backpatch all the way down. Some tests are added in 15~, triggered if compiling with OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer, where the certificate and key files can easily be generated for RSA-PSS.

2023-01-05Use unnamed POSIX semaphores on Cygwin.Thomas Munro
Testing on CI showed that Cygwin's semctl() can fail with EAGAIN (possibly due to resource limits in cygserver that could be tuned, not examined). Switch to so-called POSIX semaphores instead, which don't seem to fail in that way (possibly due to a more direct implementation using Windows semaphore primitives instead of talking to cygserver, based on a cursory glance at the source). Other known problems still prevent PostgreSQL from running on Cygwin without random crashes, but this rarer problem was noticed while testing.

2022-10-20Make finding openssl program a configure or meson optionPeter Eisentraut
Various test suites use the "openssl" program as part of their setup. There isn't a way to override which openssl program is to be used, other than by fiddling with the path, perhaps. This has gotten increasingly problematic because different versions of openssl have different capabilities and do different things by default. This patch checks for an openssl binary in configure and meson setup, with appropriate ways to override it. This is similar to how "lz4" and "zstd" are handled, for example. The meson build system actually already did this, but the result was only used in some places. This is now applied more uniformly.

2022-10-07Add -Wshadow=compatible-local to the standard compilation flagsDavid Rowley
Since cd4e8caaa, we've been able to build the source tree with -Wshadow=compatible-local without any warnings. Lots of work was done by Justin Pryzby and I (David) to get all our code to compile warning free with that flag. In that process, 2 bugs (16d69ec29 and af7d270dd) were discovered and fixed. Additionally, "git log --grep=shadow" shows that there is no shortage of other bugs that have been fixed over the years which were caused by variable shadowing. In light of the above, it seems very much worthwhile to add at least -Wshadow=compatible-local to our standard compilation flags. We *may* want to go further and take this to -Wshadow=local in the future, but we're not ready for that today, so let's add -Wshadow=compatible-local now to help make sure we don't introduce further local variable shadowing.

2022-10-07meson: Add support for building with precompiled headersAndres Freund
This substantially speeds up building for windows, due to the vast amount of headers included via windows.h. A cross build from linux targetting mingw goes from 994.11user 136.43system 0:31.58elapsed 3579%CPU to 422.41user 89.05system 0:14.35elapsed 3562%CPU The wins on windows are similar-ish (but I don't have a system at hand just now for actual numbers). Targetting other operating systems the wins are far smaller (tested linux, macOS, FreeBSD). For now precompiled headers are disabled by default, it's not clear how well they work on all platforms. E.g. on FreeBSD gcc doesn't seem to have working support, but clang does. When doing a full build precompiled headers are only beneficial for targets with multiple .c files, as meson builds a separate precompiled header for each target (so that different compilation options take effect). This commit therefore only changes target with at least two .c files to use precompiled headers. Because this commit adds b_pch=false to the default_options new build directories will have precompiled headers disabled by default, however existing build directories will continue use the default value of b_pch, which is true. Note that using precompiled headers with ccache requires setting CCACHE_SLOPPINESS=pch_defines,time_macros to get hits.

The flag is desirable as it makes it easier to find problems one would have with msvc, particularly useful during cross compilation.

2022-09-22meson: Add initial version of meson based build systemAndres Freund
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. Some initial help for postgres developers is at https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Meson With contributions from Thomas Munro, John Naylor, Stone Tickle and others.
