* Remove MSVC scriptsMichael Paquier2023-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit removes all the scripts located in src/tools/msvc/ to build PostgreSQL with Visual Studio on Windows, meson becoming the recommended way to achieve that. The scripts held some information that is still relevant with meson, information kept and moved to better locations. Comments that referred directly to the scripts are removed. All the documentation still relevant that was in install-windows.sgml has been moved to installation.sgml under a new subsection for Visual. All the content specific to the scripts is removed. Some adjustments for the documentation are planned in a follow-up set of changes.

* Improve what pg_strsignal prints if we haven't got strsignal(3).Tom Lane2019-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | Turns out that returning "unrecognized signal" is confusing. Make it explicit that the platform lacks any support for signal names. (At least of the machines in the buildfarm, only HPUX lacks it.) Back-patch to v12 where we invented this function. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3067.1566870481@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Drop support for getting signal descriptions from sys_siglist[].Tom Lane2018-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | It appears that all platforms that have sys_siglist[] also have strsignal(), making that fallback case in pg_strsignal() dead code. Getting rid of it allows dropping a configure test, which seems worth more than providing textual signal descriptions on whatever platforms might still hypothetically have use for the fallback case.

* Modernize our code for looking up descriptive strings for Unix signals.Tom Lane2018-12-16
At least as far back as the 2008 spec, POSIX has defined strsignal(3) for looking up descriptive strings for signal numbers. We hadn't gotten the word though, and were still using the crufty old sys_siglist array, which is in no standard even though most Unixen provide it. Aside from not being formally standards-compliant, this was just plain ugly because it involved #ifdef's at every place using the code. To eliminate the #ifdef's, create a portability function pg_strsignal, which wraps strsignal(3) if available and otherwise falls back to sys_siglist[] if available. The set of Unixen with neither API is probably empty these days, but on any platform with neither, you'll just get "unrecognized signal". All extant callers print the numeric signal number too, so no need to work harder than that. Along the way, upgrade pg_basebackup's child-error-exit reporting to match the rest of the system.
