Thank you for sharing updated patch. I have compared it with MSVC and configure generated build i.e.
MacOSX (--with-extra-version "-30JUN")
pc1dotnetpk:inst asif$ ./bin/psql -d postgres
psql (9.5devel-30JUN)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# select version();
version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 9.5devel-30JUN on x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0, compiled by Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn), 64-bit
(1 row)
pc1dotnetpk:inst asif$ ./bin/initdb -V
initdb (PostgreSQL) 9.5devel-30JUN
Windows7 64bit (extraver => '-30JUN')
C:\PG\postgresql\inst_withpatch_v2_extra-version>bin\psql -d postgres
psql (9.5devel-30JUN)

Patch looks good to me. I think it is ready for committer. Thanks.

It applies well and PG master branch build fine with setting extraver or keep it undefined.Thanks for reviewing that.I have observed the following output applying the patch i.e.It seems that extraver information only appears when version function is being used. If we use -V (--version) with pg utilities/binaries, it does not include additional provided information.You are right. The first version of this patch updates PG_VERSION_STR but not PG_VERSION, which is the string used for all the binaries to report the version.Can you please guide how can I perform similar functionality via configure script (that can be used on Unix like OS/MinGW) or It is intended for Window specific requirement ?. Thanks.Sure, you can do the equivalent with plain configure like that:./configure --with-extra-version="-foo" --prefix=/to/path/And here is the output that I get with such options on OSX for example:
$ psql -c 'select substring(version(), 1, 52)'
substring

$ psql -c 'select version()'
version
