* [PATCH 4/4] Extended statistics on expressions

Allow defining extended statistics on expressions, not just simple
column references. With this commit, it's possible to do things like

  CREATE TABLE t (a int);
  CREATE STATISTICS s ON mod(a,10), mod(a,20) FROM t;

and the collected statistics will be useful for estimating queries
using those expressions in various places, like

  SELECT * FROM t WHERE mod(a,10) = 0 AND mod(a,20) = 0;

or

  SELECT mod(a,10), mod(a,20) FROM t GROUP BY 1, 2;

The commit also adds a new statistics type "expressions" which builds
the usual per-column statistics for each expression, allowing better
estimates even for queries with just a single expression, which are
not affected by multi-column statistics. This achieves the same goal
as creating expression indexes, without index maintenance overhead.

I started digging into a warning I noticed on my FDW builds where 
Postgres is built with meson, e.g. 
<https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2023-08-16%2018%3A37%3A25...; 
which has this:

cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-security’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ 
[-Wformat-security]

I found that the pgxs Makefile.global built under meson is a bit 
different. On debug builds for both this is what I get on HEAD (meson) 
and REL_15_STABLE (autoconf), stripped of the current components:

          HEAD: CFLAGS =-Wshadow=compatible-local
REL_15_STABLE: CFLAGS =-Wall  -g

The warning is apparently due to the missing -Wall.

Shouldn't we be aiming for pretty much identical settings?


cheers

I agree that they should be identical. The meson bild should definitely 
be aiming for 100% compatibility for the Makefile.global.

I assume "current" means the flags that are present in both cases?

The difference for -Wshadow=compatible-local is due to changes between 15 and
HEAD.

We're indeed not adding -Wall right now (the warning level is handled by
meson, so it doesn't show up in our cflags right now).

I don't think that's feasible. It was a fair bit of work to get the most
important contents to match, while skipping lots of things that are primarily
relevant for building the server (which isn't relevant for pgxs).

That said, in this specific case, I agree, we should likely emit -Wall to
Makefile.global in meson as well.

Where should we do that? And how about the -g that's also missing for 
debug-enabled builds?

I think it's the options in these two tables that meson handles 
internally and that we should explicitly reproduce for Makefile.global:

https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#details-for-buildtype
https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#details-for-warning_level

Look in src/makefiles/meson.build. You will see a line like
'CFLAGS': var_cflags. You probably want to do something like:

	pgxs_cflags = var_cflags + cc.get_supported_arguments('-Wxxx')
	if get_option('debug')
		# Populate for debug flags that aren't -g
		debug_flags = {}

		pgxs_cflags += debug_flags.get(cc.get_id(), 
			cc.get_supported_arguments('-g')
	endif

	...
	CFLAGS: pgxs_cflags,
	...
