* Adapt expression JIT to stdbool.h introduction.Andres Freund2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The LLVM JIT provider uses clang to synchronize types between normal C code and runtime generated code. Clang represents stdbool.h style booleans in return values & parameters differently from booleans stored in variables. Thus the expression compilation code from 2a0faed9d needs to be adapted to 9a95a77d9. Instead of hardcoding i8 as the type for booleans (which already was wrong on some edge case platforms!), use postgres' notion of a boolean as used for storage and for parameters.

* Add expression compilation support to LLVM JIT provider.Andres Freund2018-03-22
In addition to the interpretation of expressions (which back evaluation of WHERE clauses, target list projection, aggregates transition values etc) support compiling expressions to native code, using the infrastructure added in earlier commits. To avoid duplicating a lot of code, only support emitting code for cases that are likely to be performance critical. For expression steps that aren't deemed that, use the existing interpreter. The generated code isn't great - some architectural changes are required to address that. But this already yields a significant speedup for some analytics queries, particularly with WHERE clauses filtering a lot, or computing multiple aggregates.

VALUES() nodes are only ever executed once. This is primarily helpful for debugging, when forcing JITing even for cheap queries.
