QTNTernary() contains logic to flatten, eg, '(a & b) & c' into 'a & b & c',
which is all well and good, but it tries to do that to NOT nodes as well,
so that '!!a' gets changed to '!a'. Explicitly restrict the conversion to
be done only on AND and OR nodes, and add a test case illustrating the bug.
In passing, provide some comments for the sadly naked functions in
tsquery_util.c, and simplify some baroque logic in QTNFree(), which
I think may have been leaking some items it intended to free.
Noted while investigating a complaint from Andreas Seltenreich.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
Patch introduces new text search operator (<-> or <DISTANCE>) into tsquery.
On-disk and binary in/out format of tsquery are backward compatible.
It has two side effect:
- change order for tsquery, so, users, who has a btree index over tsquery,
should reindex it
- less number of parenthesis in tsquery output, and tsquery becomes more
readable

Several functions, mostly type input functions, calculated an allocation
size such that the calculation wrapped to a small positive value when
arguments implied a sufficiently-large requirement. Writes past the end
of the inadvertent small allocation followed shortly thereafter.
Coverity identified the path_in() vulnerability; code inspection led to
the rest. In passing, add check_stack_depth() to prevent stack overflow
in related functions.
Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). The non-comment hstore
changes touch code that did not exist in 8.4, so that part stops at 9.0.

Security: CVE-2014-0064
makeTSQuerySign. The first of these is a live bug, on some platforms,
as per bug #5590 from John Regehr. However the consequences seem limited
because of the relatively narrow scope of use of QTNode.sign. The shift in
makeTSQuerySign is actually safe because TSQS_SIGLEN is unsigned, but it
seems like a good idea to insert an explicit cast rather than depend on that.
tsqueries. CompareTSQ has to have a guard for the case rather than blindly
applying QTNodeCompare to random data past the end of the datums. Also,
change QTNodeCompare to be a little less trusting: use an actual test rather
than just Assert'ing that the input is sane. Problem encountered while
investigating another issue (I saw a core dump in autoanalyze on a table
containing multiple empty tsquery values).
Back-patch to all branches with tsquery support.
In HEAD, also fix some bizarre (though not outright wrong) coding in
tsq_mcontains().
This alters various incidental uses of C++ key words to use other similar
identifiers, so that a C++ compiler won't choke outright. You still
(probably) need extern "C" { }; around the inclusion of backend headers.
based on a patch by Kurt Harriman <harriman@acm.org>
Also add a script cpluspluscheck to check for C++ compatibility in the
future. As of right now, this passes without error for me.
- change the alignment requirement of lexemes in TSVector slightly.
Lexeme strings were always padded to 2-byte aligned length to make sure
that if there's position array (uint16[]) it has the right alignment.
The patch changes that so that the padding is not done when there's no
positions. That makes the storage of tsvectors without positions
slightly more compact.
- added some #include "miscadmin.h" lines I missed in the earlier when I
added calls to check_stack_depth().
- Reimplement the send/recv functions, and added a comment
above them describing the on-wire format. The CRC is now recalculated in
tsquery as well per previous discussion.
- add code to check that the query tree is well-formed. It was indeed
possible to send malformed queries in binary mode, which produced all
kinds of strange results.
- make the left-field a uint32. There's no reason to
arbitrarily limit it to 16-bits, and it won't increase the disk/memory
footprint either now that QueryOperator and QueryOperand are separate
structs.
- add check_stack_depth() call to all recursive functions I found.
Some of them might have a natural limit so that you can't force
arbitrarily deep recursions, but check_stack_depth() is cheap enough
that seems best to just stick it into anything that might be a problem.
small editorization by me
- Brake the QueryItem struct into QueryOperator and QueryOperand.
Type was really the only common field between them. QueryItem still
exists, and is used in the TSQuery struct as before, but it's now a
union of the two. Many other changes fell from that, like separation
of pushval_asis function into pushValue, pushOperator and pushStop.
- Moved some structs that were for internal use only from header files
to the right .c-files.
- Moved tsvector parser to a new tsvector_parser.c file. Parser code was
about half of the size of tsvector.c, it's also used from tsquery.c, and
it has some data structures of its own, so it seems better to separate
it. Cleaned up the API so that TSVectorParserState is not accessed from
outside tsvector_parser.c.
- Separated enumerations (#defines, really) used for QueryItem.type
field and as return codes from gettoken_query. It was just accidental
code sharing.
- Removed ParseQueryNode struct used internally by makepol and friends.
push*-functions now construct QueryItems directly.
- Changed int4 variables to just ints for variables like "i" or "array
size", where the storage-size was not significant.
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.
Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.
