Now that we have src/common/ for code shared between frontend and backend,
we can get rid of (most of) the klugy ways that the keyword table and
keyword lookup code were formerly shared between different uses.
This is a first step towards a more general plan of getting rid of
special-purpose kluges for sharing code in src/bin/.
I chose to merge kwlookup.c back into keywords.c, as it once was, and
always has been so far as keywords.h is concerned. We could have
kept them separate, but there is noplace that uses ScanKeywordLookup
without also wanting access to the backend's keyword list, so there
seems little point.
ecpg is still a bit weird, but at least now the trickiness is documented.
I think that the MSVC build script should require no adjustments beyond
what's done here ... but we'll soon find out.
Unfortunately, every version of glibc thus far tested has bugs whereby
strcoll() ordering does not match strxfrm() ordering as required by
the standard. This can result in, for example, corrupted indexes.
Disabling abbreviated keys in these cases slows down non-C-collation
string sorting considerably, but there seems to be no practical
alternative. Users who are confident that their libc implementations
are solid in this regard can re-enable the optimization by compiling
with TRUST_STRXFRM.
Users who have built indexes using PostgreSQL 9.5 or PostgreSQL 9.5.1
should REINDEX if there is a possibility that they may have been
affected by this problem.

User-facing (even tested by regression tests) error conditions were thrown

error message texts weren't up to project style, either.
jsonb_set() could produce wrong answers or incorrect error reports, or in

an integer for use as an array subscript. Per report from Vitaly Burovoy.

In HEAD, fix incorrect field width for hours part of OF when tm_gmtoff is
negative. This was introduced by commit 2d87eedc1d4468d3 as a result of
falsely applying a pattern that's correct when + signs are omitted, which
is not the case for OF.
In 9.4, fix missing abs() call that allowed a sign to be attached to the
minutes part of OF. This was fixed in 9.5 by 9b43d73b3f9bef27, but for
inscrutable reasons not back-patched.
In all three versions, ensure that the sign of tm_gmtoff is correctly
reported even when the GMT offset is less than 1 hour.
Add regression tests, which evidently we desperately need here.

Somebody had apparently once figured that casting to unsigned int would
produce the right output for negative inputs, but that would only be
true if 2^32 were a multiple of 7, which of course it ain't. We need
to use a signed division and then correct the sign of the remainder.
AFAICT, the only case where this would arise currently is when doing
ISO-week calculations for dates in 4714BC, where we'd compute a
negative Julian date representing 4714-01-04BC and then do some
arithmetic with it. Since we don't even really document support for
such dates, this is not of much consequence. But we may as well
get it right.
Per report from Vitaly Burovoy.
Tighten the semantics of boundary-case timestamptz so that we allow
timestamps >= '4714-11-24 00:00+00 BC' and < 'ENDYEAR-01-01 00:00+00 AD'
exactly, no more and no less, but it is allowed to enter timestamps
within that range using non-GMT timezone offsets (which could make the
nominal date 4714-11-23 BC or ENDYEAR-01-01 AD). This eliminates
dump/reload failure conditions for timestamps near the endpoints.
To do this, separate checking of the inputs for date2j() from the
final range check, and allow the Julian date code to handle a range
slightly wider than the nominal range of the datatypes.
Also add a bunch of checks to detect out-of-range dates and timestamps
that formerly could be returned by operations such as date-plus-integer.
All C-level functions that return date, timestamp, or timestamptz should
now be proof against returning a value that doesn't pass IS_VALID_DATE()
or IS_VALID_TIMESTAMP().

This patch widens SPI_processed, EState's es_processed field, PortalData's
portalPos field, FuncCallContext's call_cntr and max_calls fields,
ExecutorRun's count argument, PortalRunFetch's result, and the max number
of rows in a SPITupleTable to uint64, and deals with (I hope) all the
ensuing fallout. Some of these values were declared uint32 before, and
others "long".
I also removed PortalData's posOverflow field, since that logic seems
pretty useless given that portalPos is now always 64 bits.
The user-visible results are that command tags for SELECT etc will
correctly report tuple counts larger than 4G, as will plpgsql's GET
GET DIAGNOSTICS ... ROW_COUNT command. Queries processing more tuples
than that are still not exactly the norm, but they're becoming more
common.
Most values associated with FETCH/MOVE distances, such as PortalRun's count
argument and the count argument of most SPI functions that have one, remain
declared as "long". It's not clear whether it would be worth promoting
those to int64; but it would definitely be a large dollop of additional
API churn on top of this, and it would only help 32-bit platforms which
seem relatively less likely to see any benefit.

All along, this function should have treated WindowFuncs in a manner
similar to Aggrefs, ie with an option whether or not to recurse into them.
By not considering the case, it was always recursing, which is OK for most
callers (although I suspect that the case in prepare_sort_from_pathkeys
might represent a bug). But now we need return-without-recursing behavior
as well. There are also more than a few callers that should never see a
WindowFunc, and now we'll get some error checking on that.
In commit 1d97c19a0f748e94 and later c1d9579dd8bf3c92, we extended
pull_var_clause's API by adding enum-type arguments. That's sort of a pain
to maintain, though, because it means every time we add a new behavior we
must touch every last one of the call sites, even if there's a reasonable
default behavior that most of them could use. Let's switch over to using a
bitmask of flags, instead; that seems more maintainable and might save a
nanosecond or two as well. This commit changes no behavior in itself,
though I'm going to follow it up with one that does add a new behavior.
In passing, remove flatten_tlist(), which has not been used since 9.1
and would otherwise need the same API changes.
Removing these enums means that optimizer/tlist.h no longer needs to
depend on optimizer/var.h. Changing that caused a number of C files to
need addition of #include "optimizer/var.h" (probably we can thank old
runs of pgrminclude for that); but on balance it seems like a good change
anyway.
When a process is waiting for a heavyweight lock, we will now indicate
the type of heavyweight lock for which it is waiting. Also, you can
now see when a process is waiting for a lightweight lock - in which
case we will indicate the individual lock name or the tranche, as
appropriate - or for a buffer pin.

Using this facility, any utility command can report the target relation
upon which it is operating, if there is one, and up to 10 64-bit
counters; the intent of this is that users should be able to figure out
what a utility command is doing without having to resort to ugly hacks
like attaching strace to a backend.
As a demonstration, this adds very crude reporting to lazy vacuum; we
just report the target relation and nothing else. A forthcoming patch
will make VACUUM report a bunch of additional data that will make this
much more interesting. But this gets the basic framework in place.

A thinko concerning nesting depth caused json_to_record() to produce bogus
output if a field of its input object contained a sub-object with a field
name matching one of the requested output column names. Per bug #13996
from Johann Visagie.
I added a regression test case based on his example, plus parallel tests
for json_to_recordset, jsonb_to_record, jsonb_to_recordset. The latter
three do not exhibit the same bug (which suggests that we may be missing
some opportunities to share code...) but testing seems like a good idea
in any case.
Back-patch to 9.4 where these functions were introduced.
Commits 9ff60273e35cad6e and dbe2328959e12701 adjusted the declarations
of some core functions referenced by contrib/tsearch2's install script,
forgetting that in a pg_upgrade situation, we'll be trying to restore
operator class definitions that reference the old signatures. We've
hit this problem before; solve it in the same way as before, namely by
installing stub functions that have the expected signature and just
invoke the correct function. Per report from Jeff Janes.
(Someday we ought to stop supporting contrib/tsearch2, but I'm not
sure today is that day.)
A failure partway through PGLC_localeconv() led to a situation where
the next call would call free_struct_lconv() a second time, leading
to free() on already-freed strings, typically leading to a core dump.
Add a flag to remember whether we need to do that.
Per report from Thom Brown. His example case only provokes the failure
as far back as 9.4, but nonetheless this code is obviously broken, so
back-patch to all supported branches.
This patch introduces "pg_blocking_pids(int) returns int[]", which returns
the PIDs of any sessions that are blocking the session with the given PID.
Historically people have obtained such information using a self-join on
the pg_locks view, but it's unreasonably tedious to do it that way with any
modicum of correctness, and the addition of parallel queries has pretty
much broken that approach altogether. (Given some more columns in the view
than there are today, you could imagine handling parallel-query cases with
a 4-way join; but ugh.)
The new function has the following behaviors that are painful or impossible
to get right via pg_locks:
1. Correctly understands which lock modes block which other ones.
2. In soft-block situations (two processes both waiting for conflicting lock
modes), only the one that's in front in the wait queue is reported to
block the other.
3. In parallel-query cases, reports all sessions blocking any member of
the given PID's lock group, and reports a session by naming its leader
process's PID, which will be the pg_backend_pid() value visible to
clients.
The motivation for doing this right now is mostly to fix the isolation
tests. Commit 38f8bdcac4982215beb9f65a19debecaf22fd470 lobotomized
isolationtester's is-it-waiting query by removing its ability to recognize
nonconflicting lock modes, as a crude workaround for the inability to
handle soft-block situations properly. But even without the lock mode
tests, the old query was excessively slow, particularly in
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds; some of our buildfarm animals fail the new
deadlock-hard test because the deadlock timeout elapses before they can
probe the waiting status of all eight sessions. Replacing the pg_locks
self-join with use of pg_blocking_pids() is not only much more correct, but
a lot faster: I measure it at about 9X faster in a typical dev build with
Asserts, and 3X faster in CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds. That should provide
enough headroom for the slower CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS animals to pass the
test, without having to lengthen deadlock_timeout yet more and thus slow
down the test for everyone else.
Some over-eager copy-and-pasting on my part resulted in a nonsense
result being returned in this case. I have adopted the same pattern for
handling this case as is used in the one argument form of the function,
i.e. we just skip over the code that adds values to the object.
Diagnosis and patch from Michael Paquier, although not quite his
solution.
Fixes bug #13936.
Backpatch to 9.5 where jsonb_object was introduced.
Commit 53874c5228fe16589a4d01b3e1fab3678e0fd8e3 broke various 32-bit
buildfarm machines because it incorrectly used an 'L' suffix for what
needed to be a 64-bit literal. Thanks to Michael Paquier for helping
to diagnose this.
This will parse strings in the format produced by pg_size_pretty() and
return sizes in bytes. This allows queries to be written with clauses
like "pg_total_relation_size(oid) > pg_size_bytes('10 GB')".

Since pgindent treats typedef names as global, the original coding of

It seems that sprintf(), at least in glibc's version, is unreasonably slow
compared to hand-rolled code for printing integers. Replacing most uses of
sprintf() in the datetime.c output functions with special-purpose code
turns out to give more than a 2X speedup in COPY of a table with a single
timestamp column; which is pretty impressive considering all the other
logic in that code path.

An example use-case is "CHECK(num_nonnulls(a,b,c) = 1)" to assert that
exactly one of a,b,c isn't NULL. The functions are variadic, so they

elements in an array.

Have varlena.c expose an interface that allows the char(n), bytea, and
bpchar types to piggyback on a now-generalized SortSupport for text.
This pushes a little more knowledge of the bpchar/char(n) type into
varlena.c than might be preferred, but that seems like the approach
that creates least friction. Also speed things up for index builds
that use text_pattern_ops or varchar_pattern_ops.
This patch does quite a bit of renaming, but it seems likely to be
worth it, so as to avoid future confusion about the fact that this code
is now more generally used than the old names might have suggested.

Commit e09996ff8dee3f70 was one brick shy of a load: it didn't insist
that the detected JSON number be the whole of the supplied string.
This allowed inputs such as "2016-01-01" to be misdetected as valid JSON
numbers. Per bug #13906 from Dmitry Ryabov.
In passing, be more wary of zero-length input (I'm not sure this can
happen given current callers, but better safe than sorry), and do some
minor cosmetic cleanup.
Buildfarm member cockatiel is still saying that cosd(60) isn't 0.5.
What seems likely is that the subexpression (1.0 - cos(x)) isn't being
rounded to double width before more arithmetic is done on it, so force
that by storing it into a variable.
The last round didn't do it. Per Noah Misch, the problem on at least
some machines is that the compiler pre-evaluates trig functions having
constant arguments using code slightly different from what will be used
at runtime. Therefore, we must prevent the compiler from seeing constant
arguments to any of the libm trig functions used in this code.
The method used here might still fail if init_degree_constants() gets
inlined into the call sites. That probably won't happen given the large
number of call sites; but if it does, we could probably fix it by making
init_degree_constants() non-static. I'll avoid that till proven
necessary, though.
The buildfarm isn't very happy with the results of commit e1bd684a34c11139.
To try to get the expected exact results everywhere:
* Replace M_PI / 180 subexpressions with a precomputed constant, so that
the compiler can't decide to rearrange that division with an adjacent
operation. Hopefully this will fix failures to get exactly 0.5 from
sind(30) and cosd(60).
* Add scaling to ensure that tand(45) and cotd(45) give exactly 1; there
was nothing particularly guaranteeing that before.
* Replace minus zero by zero when tand() or cotd() would output that;
many machines did so for tand(180) and cotd(270), but not all. We could
alternatively deem both results valid, but that doesn't seem likely to
be what users will want.
The implementations go to some lengths to deliver exact results for values
where an exact result can be expected, such as sind(30) = 0.5 exactly.

Ensure that the trig functions return NaN for NaN input regardless of what
the underlying C library functions might do. Also ensure that an error
is thrown for Inf (or otherwise out-of-range) input, except for atan/atan2
which should accept it.
All these behaviors should now conform to the POSIX spec; previously, all
our popular platforms deviated from that in one case or another.
The main remaining platform dependency here is whether the C library might
choose to throw a domain error for sin/cos/tan inputs that are large but
less than infinity. (Doing so is not unreasonable, since once a single
unit-in-the-last-place exceeds PI, there can be no significance at all in
the result; however there doesn't seem to be any suggestion in POSIX that
such an error is allowed.) We will report such errors if they are reported
via "errno", but not if they are reported via "fetestexcept" which is the
other mechanism sanctioned by POSIX. Some preliminary experiments with
fetestexcept indicated that it might also report errors we could do
without, such as complaining about underflow at an unreasonably large
threshold. So let's skip that complexity for now.

Commit e529cd4ffa605c6f introduced an Assert requiring NAMEDATALEN to be
less than MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN, which has been 255 for a long time.
Since up to that instant we had always allowed NAMEDATALEN to be
substantially more than that, this was ill-advised.
It's debatable whether we need MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN at all (versus
putting a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the loop), or whether it has to be
so tight; but this patch takes the narrower approach of just not applying
the MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN limit to calls from the parser.
Trusting the parser for this seems reasonable, first because the strings
are limited to NAMEDATALEN which is unlikely to be hugely more than 256,
and second because the maximum distance is tightly constrained by
MAX_FUZZY_DISTANCE (though we'd forgotten to make use of that limit in one
place). That means the cost is not really O(mn) but more like O(max(m,n)).
Relaxing the limit for user-supplied calls is left for future research;
given the lack of complaints to date, it doesn't seem very high priority.
In passing, fix confusion between lengths-in-bytes and lengths-in-chars
in comments and error messages.
Per gripe from Kevin Day; solution suggested by Robert Haas. Back-patch
to 9.5 where the unwanted restriction was introduced.
Historically, extract() just returned zero for any case involving an
infinite timestamp[tz] input; even cases in which the unit name was
invalid. This is not very sensible. Instead, return infinity or
-infinity as appropriate when the requested field is one that is
monotonically increasing (e.g, year, epoch), or NULL when it is not
(e.g., day, hour). Also, throw the expected errors for bad unit names.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE

This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler
function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided
in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to
the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There
are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions
are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less
error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures.
For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access
methods in installable extensions.
A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes
of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity
regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that
by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead.
(Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the
amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.)
We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but
this patch doesn't do that.

This loop uselessly fetched the argument after the one it's currently
looking at. No real harm is done since we couldn't possibly fetch off
the end of memory, but it's confusing to the reader.
Also remove a duplicate (and therefore confusing) PG_ARGISNULL check in
jsonb_build_object.
I happened to notice these things while trolling for missed null-arg
checks earlier today. Back-patch to 9.5, not because there is any
real bug, but just because 9.5 and HEAD are still in sync in this
file and we might as well keep them so.
In passing, re-pgindent.
Using cstring as the input type was a poor decision, because that's not
really a full-fledged type. In particular, it lacks implicit coercions
from text or varchar, meaning that usages like to_regproc('foo'||'bar')
wouldn't work; basically the only case that did work without explicit
casting was a simple literal constant argument.
The lack of field complaints about this suggests that hardly anyone
is using these functions, so hopefully fixing it won't cause much of
a compatibility problem. They've only been there since 9.4, anyway.
