MSVC installs too much stuff?

От

When I was working on the test_json stuff yesterday, I noticed that
there are some unexpected (by me at least) things installed when we do
an MSVC build:

$ ls -l bin| egrep 'regress|isolation'
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pgrunner None   72192 Jan 30 07:51 isolationtester.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pgrunner None  112640 Jan 30 07:51 pg_isolation_regress.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pgrunner None  112128 Jan 30 07:51 pg_regress.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pgrunner None  112640 Jan 30 07:51 pg_regress_ecpg.exe

This is made all the more obscure by the fact that the install script
doesn't tell you exactly what it's installing, unlike the "make"
driven install.  There could well be other things that are installed
that shouldn't be.

So I think we need to do several things:

. make the install script more verbose
. work out how to ensure the things above (and test_json when we add
it) are not installed.
. check that nothing else is installed that shouldn't be.

cheers

+1.  Looking at vcregress.pl, all four are always invoked from the
root of the build folder.

Hmm.  It seems to me that an exclusion list with patterns to match
should be enough in Install.pm.  Having only one code path for the
filtering would be nice, which means merging CopyFiles and
CopySetOfFiles.

These tools should be installed. They are useful, important in fact,
for testing extensions.

In *nix builds we install them to
$PREFIX/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/test/regress/pg_regress etc.

On Windows we don't have PGXS. It probably doesn't make sense to
install them to the pgxs dir. So putting them in bin is pretty
reasonable.

Oh, Ha! Forget I spoke.
