2025-08-11meson: add and use stamp files for generated headersAndres Freund
Without using stamp files, meson lists the generated headers as the dependency for every .c file, bloating build.ninja by more than 2x. Processing all the dependencies also increases the time to generate build.ninja. The immediate benefit is that this makes re-configuring and clean builds a bit faster. The main motivation however is that I have other patches that introduce additional build targets that further would increase the size of build.ninja, making re-configuring more noticeably slower.

2024-12-04Use <stdint.h> and <inttypes.h> for c.h integers.Thomas Munro
Redefine our exact width types with standard C99 types and macros, including int64_t, INT64_MAX, INT64_C(), PRId64 etc. We were already using <stdint.h> types in a few places. One complication is that Windows' <inttypes.h> uses format strings like "%I64d", "%I32", "%I" for PRI*64, PRI*32, PTR*PTR, instead of mapping to other standardized format strings like "%lld" etc as seen on other known systems. Teach our snprintf.c to understand them. This removes a lot of configure clutter, and should also allow 64-bit numbers and other standard types to be used in localized messages without casting.

2024-06-07meson: Restore implicit warning/debug/optimize flags for extensionsPeter Eisentraut
Meson uses warning/debug/optimize flags such as "-Wall", "-g", and "-O2" automatically based on "--warnlevel" and "--buildtype" options. And we use "--warning_level=1" and "--buildtype=debugoptimized" by default. But we need these flags for Makefile.global (for extensions) and pg_config, so we need to compute them manually based on the higher-level options. Without this change, extensions building using pgxs wouldn't get -Wall or optimization options.

These new macros are placed in a new header file so that they can be easily used by third-party code.

2022-12-07meson: Add basic PGXS compatibilityAndres Freund
Generate a Makefile.global that's complete enough for PGXS to work for some extensions. It is likely that this compatibility layer will not suffice for every extension and not all platforms - we can expand it over time. This allows extensions to use a single buildsystem across all the supported postgres versions. Once all supported PG versions support meson, we can remove the compatibility layer.

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.

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.
