BUG #5878: BTREE_BUILD_STATS causes 'make check' to fail

Bug reference:      5878
Logged by:          Jan-Peter Seifert
Email address:      Jan-Peter.Seifert@gmx.de
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.7
Operating system:   Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Description:        BTREE_BUILD_STATS causes 'make check' to fail
Details:

Hello,

I experimented a bit with compiling PostgreSQL with debug macros.
I set up a Makefile.custom with the following contents:
    CFLAGS+=-DLOCK_DEBUG
    CFLAGS+=-DBTREE_BUILD_STATS
    CFLAGS+=-DWAL_DEBUG

However, as long as I have BTREE_BUILD_STATS defined, 'make check' fails on
me with the following message:
...
btree.c: In function ‘btbuild’:
nbtree.c:100: error: ‘log_btree_build_stats’ undeclared (first use in
this function)
nbtree.c:100: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
nbtree.c:100: error: for each function it appears in.)
nbtree.c:101: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘ResetUsage’
nbtree.c:146: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘ShowUsage’
...
Without this macro the server seems to install nicely.
Am I just doing something wrongly - I'm not really familiar with gcc?

Thank you very much,

Peter

It is a bug. The attached patch fixes it. I didn't investigate when it was
broken; maybe one or two releases ago when someone reorganizes the header
files. Those debug macros deserve a refactor but nobody bothers to do it yet.

Confirmed here, will apply.  I'll bet lunch that it got broken in
Bruce's last "remove unnecessary #includes" patch --- the process he
uses for that is utterly incapable of dealing with inclusions that
are needed only in certain cases.
