From eb8892662564a413bc411b1b486ee095b74b8149 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2010 20:09:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Avoid performing encoding conversion on command tag strings during EndCommand. Since all current and foreseeable future command tags will be pure ASCII, there is no need to do conversion on them. This saves a few cycles and also avoids polluting otherwise-pristine subtransaction memory contexts, which is the cause of the backend memory leak exhibited in bug #5302. (Someday we'll probably want to have a better method of determining whether subtransaction contexts need to be kept around, but today is not that day.) Backpatch to 8.0. The cycle-shaving aspect of this would work in 7.4 too, but without subtransactions the memory-leak aspect doesn't apply, so it doesn't seem worth touching 7.4. --- src/backend/tcop/dest.c | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/tcop/dest.c b/src/backend/tcop/dest.c index ac0dc5e7c2..4488f128e6 100644 --- a/src/backend/tcop/dest.c +++ b/src/backend/tcop/dest.c @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * IDENTIFICATION - * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/tcop/dest.c,v 1.76 2010/01/02 16:57:52 momjian Exp $ + * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/tcop/dest.c,v 1.77 2010/01/30 20:09:53 tgl Exp $ * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ @@ -142,7 +142,11 @@ EndCommand(const char *commandTag, CommandDest dest) { case DestRemote: case DestRemoteExecute: - pq_puttextmessage('C', commandTag); + /* + * We assume the commandTag is plain ASCII and therefore + * requires no encoding conversion. + */ + pq_putmessage('C', commandTag, strlen(commandTag) + 1); break; case DestNone: @@ -183,7 +187,7 @@ NullCommand(CommandDest dest) if (PG_PROTOCOL_MAJOR(FrontendProtocol) >= 3) pq_putemptymessage('I'); else - pq_puttextmessage('I', ""); + pq_putmessage('I', "", 1); break; case DestNone:
