Now that that's been pushed, the main patch is of course quite broken.
Are you working on a rebase?

* AFAICT, the infrastructure for removing the generated files at
"make *clean" is incomplete.

I have fixed all the makefiles per your suggestions.

and something similar to this for the "clean" rule:
# fmgroids.h, fmgrprotos.h, fmgrtab.c, fmgr-stamp, and errcodes.h are in the
# distribution tarball, so they are not cleaned here.

Except this one, since there is no clean rule. I think seeing that files are listed under a maintainer-clean target conveys that same message.

Also, I share David's upthread allergy to the option names "path_hackN"
and to documenting those only inside the conversion script.

I'll look into that again.

BTW, I think this: "Unknown attributes are ignored" is a seriously
bad idea; it will allow typos to escape detection.

good point

Subject: [PATCH v6] Automatically generate node support functions

Add a script to automatically generate the node support functions
(copy, equal, out, and read, as well as the node tags enum) from the
struct definitions.

For each of the four node support files, it creates two include files,
e.g., copyfuncs.funcs.c and copyfuncs.switch.c, to include in the main
file.  All the scaffolding of the main file stays in place.

TODO: In this patch, I have only ifdef'ed out the code to could be
removed, mainly so that it won't constantly have merge conflicts.
Eventually, that should all be changed to delete the code.  All the
code comments that are worth keeping from those sections have already
been moved to the header files where the structs are defined.

I have tried to mostly make the coverage of the output match what is
currently there.  For example, one could now do out/read coverage of
utility statement nodes, but I have manually excluded those for now.
The reason is mainly that it's easier to diff the before and after,
and adding a bunch of stuff like this might require a separate
analysis and review.

Subtyping (TidScan -> Scan) is supported.

For the hard cases, you can just write a manual function and exclude
generating one.  For the not so hard cases, there is a way of
annotating struct fields to get special behaviors.  For example,
pg_node_attr(equal_ignore) has the field ignored in equal functions.
