  1. pgsql: Allow copydir() to be interrupted.

    Log Message:
-----------
Allow copydir() to be interrupted.

This makes ALTER DATABASE .. SET TABLESPACE and CREATE DATABASE more
sensitive to interrupts.  Backpatch to 8.4, where ALTER DATABASE .. SET
TABLESPACE was introduced.  We could go back further, but in the absence
of complaints about the CREATE DATABASE case it doesn't seem worth it.

Guillaume Lelarge, with a small correction by me.

This appears to have broken MinGW and Cygwin builds on the buildfarm.

Well, that's not awesome. IM-ing with Magnus now.  I'm wondering if
this is a link-ordering problem of some kind.

We've seen something like this before, but I don't recall what it was.
It's probably something getting resolved too early when it's built
into libpgport_srv.a. That would explain why it's working fine on MSVC
- we don't actually bother building a server-side .lib there, we just
link the object files directly into postgres.exe. (We do build the
library for client side, of course, since it's used in many different
binaries)

I wonder if we should just move copydir.c to someplace within the
backend, perhaps backend/storage/file or backend/utils/misc.  It's
already backend-specific code anyway, so I'm not sure there's much
point in having it in src/port.

Possibly an #ifndef FRONTEND will fix it.

What's failing to link is postgres.exe

I suspect that moving copydir.c into the backend will fix this, but I
don't have an appropriate build environment to test.  Can someone
please test the attached patch?

Andrew confirms that this works on mingw, so I'm going to go ahead and
check it in and see what happens.

hamerkop [Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit) Visual C++ 2005 AMD64] is not
happy with this.

http://pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=hamerkop&dt=2010-07-02%2018:45:44

I don't really understand most of the log messages, but the problem
seems to be here (some garbage removed for clarity):

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: '.\Release\postgres\src_port_copydir.obj'
LIB : fatal error LNK1181: '.\Release\libpgport\copydir.obj'

What doesn't make sense about that is that that file should not have
existed in the snapshot hamerkop ran against.

MSVC was looking for it and not finding it. I have committed a fix that 
I hope will fix the MSVC builds, by removing it from the list of files 
in libpgport.

You'll need to do the same thing in 8.4...
