This is causing the following error for me:

/home/sfrost/git/pg/dev/postgresql/src/backend/utils/adt/formatting.c: In function ‘DCH_to_char’:
/home/sfrost/git/pg/dev/postgresql/src/backend/utils/adt/formatting.c:2510:6: warning: format ‘%ld’ expects argument of
type‘long int’, but argument 3 has type ‘int’ [-Wformat=] 
      sprintf(s, ":%02ld", abs(tm->tm_gmtoff % SECS_PER_HOUR) / SECS_PER_MINUTE);
      ^

Since abs() is declared to return just an int.  I don't see it anywhere
in our tree and I'm not sure how portable it actually is, but labs() is
supposedly in C89, so perhaps that should be used here instead?

    Thanks!

I just removed the "l" for now, since %02d is used to print the result
of abs() elsewhere.  If that isn't right, someone can re-fix my fix.

Works for me.  I'm no longer seeing the warning.

    Thanks!

OK, I have switched to labs() and will keep an eye on the buildfarm;
patch attached.  (There is already an uncomfortable amount of red
there.)

Oh, I see now that my commit generated a conflict and didn't apply.
Should we try labs() or just ignore it?

If the result is guaranteed to fit in an integer, then there's no
reason to adopt labs.  If you think there are platforms where it would
overflow int but fit into long, then there might be a reason to change
it.  All things being equal, it'd be nicer if we didn't need to use
labs(), because every function we depend on is another thing that can
break on some obscure platform.

I think abs() is fine;  there is no risk of overflow from mod; thanks.
