* [PATCH v3 1/1] tell client when prepared statements are deallocated

Add a PrepStmtDeallocated protocol message, negotiated via the
_pq_.report_stmt_dealloc extension, that tells clients when a named
prepared statement is dropped by DEALLOCATE, DISCARD, or a Close
message.  libpq dispatches the message to callbacks registered with
PQaddPrepStmtDeallocCallback, and PQprepStmtDeallocSupported
reports whether the server accepted the extension.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc
@ 2026-07-15 19:27 Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-07-15 19:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.

* [PATCH v2] meson: Fix ccache issues when using precompiled headers with gcc

Unfortunately the combination of gcc, precompiled headers, ccache and meson
currently is not safe without further options. The dependencies emitted by gcc
are insufficient to trigger rebuilds when headers "below" the precompiled
headers are changed. Whether that's a ccache, gcc or meson bug is
debatable. Luckily gcc's -fpch-deps option fixes the issue.

This problem occasionally leads to build failures, e.g. if only c.h,
postgres.h or pg_config_manual.h change. That's e.g. the case when creating a
new major version branch.
