Thanks for the review

Okay, actually I did not understand the clear logic of when to use
%llu and to use (U)INT64_FORMAT.  They are both used for 64-bit
integers.  So do you think it is fine to replace all INT64_FORMAT in
my patch with %llu?

Okay, so you mean irrespective of this patch should this be converted
to ereport?

Commits

  1. Fix typos in comments, code and documentation

  2. Increase width of RelFileNumbers from 32 bits to 56 bits.

  3. Move RelFileNumber declarations to common/relpath.h.

  4. Include RelFileLocator fields individually in BufferTag.

  5. Convert macros to static inline functions (buf_internals.h)

  6. Remove the restriction that the relmap must be 512 bytes.

  7. Change internal RelFileNode references to RelFileNumber or RelFileLocator.

  8. Reorder subskiplsn in pg_subscription to avoid alignment issues.

  9. Fix DROP {DATABASE,TABLESPACE} on Windows.

  10. Restructure smgr API as per recent proposal. smgr no longer depends on
