The original placement of this module in src/fe_utils/ is ill-considered,
because several src/common/ modules have dependencies on it, meaning that
libpgcommon and libpgfeutils now have mutual dependencies. That makes it
pointless to have distinct libraries at all. The intended design is that
libpgcommon is lower-level than libpgfeutils, so only dependencies from
the latter to the former are acceptable.
We already have the precedent that fe_memutils and a couple of other
modules in src/common/ are frontend-only, so it's not stretching anything
out of whack to treat logging.c as a frontend-only module in src/common/.
To the extent that such modules help provide a common frontend/backend
environment for the rest of common/ to use, it's a reasonable design.
(logging.c does not yet provide an ereport() emulation, but one can
dream.)
Hence, move these files over, and revert basically all of the build-system
changes made by commit cc8d41511. There are no places that need to grow
new dependencies on libpgcommon, further reinforcing the idea that this
is the right solution.

Commit 25ee70511e introduced a memory leak in pgbench: some PGresult
structs were not being freed during error bailout, because we're now
doing more PQgetResult() calls than previously. Since there's more
cleanup code outside the discard_response() routine than in it, refactor
the cleanup code, removing the routine.
This has little effect currently, since we abandon processing after
hitting errors, but if we ever get further pgbench features (such as
testing for serializable transactions), it'll matter.

Also, since the code path for parameter > 1.0 could perform badly

This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error
printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs.
Features:
- Program name is automatically prefixed.
- Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common
source of inconsistencies and omissions.
- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.
- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.
- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
strings can be shared between different components and between
frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
differences.
- There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be
user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
verbose modes.
- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
some level is disabled.
- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set
PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be
customized by setting PG_COLORS.
- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
pass "progname" around everywhere.
- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This
is now done centrally.
Soft goals:
- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
in the source code.
- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example,
in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.
- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.
This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.
I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now
changed to stderr.

The pgbench regression test supposed that srandom() with a specific value
would result in deterministic output from random(), as required by POSIX.
It emerges however that OpenBSD is too smart to be constrained by mere
standards, so their random() emits nondeterministic output anyway.
While a workaround does exist, what seems like a better fix is to stop
relying on the platform's srandom()/random() altogether, so that what
you get from --random-seed=N is not merely deterministic but platform
independent. Hence, use a separate pg_jrand48() random sequence in
place of random().
Also adjust the regression test case that's supposed to detect
nondeterminism so that it's more likely to detect it; the original
choice of random_zipfian parameter tended to produce the same output
all the time even if the underlying behavior wasn't deterministic.
In passing, improve pgbench's docs about random_zipfian().

Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction
of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column,
but as part of the tuple header.
This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd,
as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important
parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the
oid column by default.
The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a
significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That
already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make
table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating
that "specialness" significantly.
WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0).
Remove it.
Removing includes:
- CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be
WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out)
- pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will
issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column).
- restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when
restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column)
- COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids.
- pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH
OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first.
- Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like
plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed.
The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false)
for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of
support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that
do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them.
The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This
commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally
declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the
newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column
naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously
requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via
HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column.
The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in
genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest
oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above
FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the
special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed.
Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all
backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For
the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for
the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog
tables).
The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns
means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded
by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid,
previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid
column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either
have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the
line.
While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the
scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this
now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit
after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other
patches.

When an error occurs during a benchmark run, exit with a nonzero exit

It's fairly silly to truncate the throttle_delay to integer when the only
math we ever do with it requires converting back to double. Furthermore,
given that people are starting to complain about restrictions like only
supporting 1K client connections, I don't think we're very far away from
situations where the precision loss matters. As the code stood, for
example, there's no difference between --rate 100001 and --rate 111111;
both get converted to throttle_delay = 9. Somebody trying to run 100
threads and have each one dispatch around 1K TPS would find this lack of
precision rather surprising, especially since the required per-thread
delays are around 1ms, well within the timing precision of modern systems.
Previously, pgbench always used select(2) for this purpose, but that's
problematic for very high client counts, because select() can't deal
with file descriptor numbers larger than FD_SETSIZE. It's pretty common
for that to be only 1024 or so, whereas modern OSes can allow many more
open files than that. Using poll(2) would surmount that problem, but it
creates another one: poll()'s timeout resolution is only 1ms, which is
poor enough to cause problems with --rate specifications approaching or
exceeding 1K TPS.
On platforms that have ppoll(2), which includes Linux and recent
FreeBSD, we can use that to avoid the FD_SETSIZE problem without any
loss of timeout resolution. Hence, add configure logic to test for
ppoll(), and use it if available.
This patch introduces an abstraction layer into pgbench that could
be extended to support other kernel event-wait APIs such as kevents.
But actually adding such support is a matter for some future patch.

The vertical tightness settings collapse vertical whitespace between

This can make data structures in particular harder to read, and is not

Recent gcc can warn about switch-case fall throughs that are not
explicitly labeled as intentional. This seems like a good thing,
so clean up the warnings exposed thereby by labeling all such
cases with comments that gcc will recognize.
In files that already had one or more suitable comments, I generally
matched the existing style of those. Otherwise I went with
/* FALLTHROUGH */, which is one of the spellings approved at the
more-restrictive-than-default level -Wimplicit-fallthrough=4.
(At the default level you can also spell it /* FALL ?THRU */,
and it's not picky about case. What you can't do is include
additional text in the same comment, so some existing comments
containing versions of this aren't good enough.)
Testing with gcc 8.0.1 (Fedora 28's current version), I found that
I also had to put explicit "break"s after elog(ERROR) or ereport(ERROR);
apparently, for this purpose gcc doesn't recognize that those don't

in most places we did that anyway; so this amounts to a visit from the

We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.
To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS. This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order. For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)
This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable. And likewise for PG_LIBS.
Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.
In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common". Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them. In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.
This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

pgbench can skip some transactions when both -R and -L options are used.
Previously, this resulted in slightly silly statistics both in progress
reports and final output, because the skipped transactions were counted
as executed for TPS and related stats. Discount skipped xacts in TPS
numbers, and also when figuring the percentage of xacts exceeding the
latency limit.
Also, don't print per-script skipped-transaction counts when there is
only one script. That's redundant with the overall count, and it's
inconsistent with the fact that we don't print other per-script stats
when there's only one script. Clean up some unnecessary interactions
between what should be independent options that were due to that
decision.
While at it, avoid division-by-zero in cases where no transactions were
executed. While on modern platforms this would generally result in
printing "NaN" rather than a crash, that isn't spelled consistently
across platforms and it would confuse many people. Skip the relevant

This feature caters to specialized use-cases such as running the normal
pgbench scenario with nonstandard indexes, or inserting other actions
between steps of the initialization sequence. The normal sequence of

sensible. The actions themselves aren't changed, except to make them
more robust against nonstandard uses:
* all four tables are now dropped in one DROP command, to reduce
assumptions about what foreign key relationships exist;
* all four tables are now truncated at the start of the data load
step, for consistency;
* the foreign key creation commands now specify constraint names, to
prevent accidentally creating duplicate constraints by executing the
'f' step twice.

Flex generates a lot of functions that are not actually used. In order
to avoid coverage figures being ruined by that, mark up the part of the
.l files where the generated code appears by lcov exclusion markers.
That way, lcov will typically only reported on coverage for the .l file,
which is under our control, but not for the .c file.

If --rate was used to throttle pgbench, it failed to sleep when it had
nothing to do, leading to a busy-wait with 100% CPU usage. This bug was
introduced in the refactoring in v10. Before that, sleep() was called with
a timeout, even when there were no file descriptors to wait for.

Buildfarm member skink shows that this is even more flaky than
I thought. There are probably some actual pgbench bugs here
as well as a timing dependency. But we can't have stuff this
unstable in the buildfarm, it obscures other issues.
There seems to be some considerable imprecision in the timing of -P
progress reports. Nominally each thread ought to produce 2 reports
in this test, but about 10% of the time we only get one, and 1% of
the time we get three, as per buildfarm results so far. Pending
further investigation, treat the last case as a "pass". (I, tgl,
am suspicious that this still might not be lax enough, now that it's
obvious that the behavior is load-dependent; but there's not yet
buildfarm evidence to confirm that suspicion.)

Not completely sure, but I think bowerbird is spitting up on attempting
to include ">" in a temporary file name. (Why in the world are we
writing this stuff into files at all? A hash would be a better answer.)
* Remove no-such-user test case, output isn't stable, and we really
don't need to be testing such cases here anyway.
* Fix the process exit code test logic to match PostgresNode::psql
(but I didn't bother with looking at the "core" flag).
* Give up on inf/nan tests.
Per buildfarm.
* Our own version of getopt_long doesn't support abbreviation of
long options.
* It doesn't do automatic rearrangement of non-option arguments to the end,
either.
* Test was way too optimistic about the platform independence of
NaN and Infinity outputs. I rather imagine we might have to lose
those tests altogether, but for the moment just allow case variation
and fully spelled out Infinity.
Per buildfarm.
process_backslash_command would drop the last character of the input
command on the assumption that it was a newline. Given a non newline
terminated input file, this could result in dropping the last character
of the command. Fix that by doing an actual test that we're removing
a newline.
While at it, allow for Windows newlines (\r\n), and suppress multiple
newlines if any. I do not think either of those cases really occur,
since (a) we read script files in text mode and (b) the lexer stops
when it hits a newline. But it's cheap enough and it provides a
stronger guarantee about what the result string looks like.
This is just cosmetic, I think, since the possibly-overly-chomped
line was only used for display not for further processing. So
it doesn't seem necessary to back-patch.

With --latency-limit, transactions might get skipped even beyond the
transaction count limit specified by -t, throwing off the expected
number of transactions and thus the denominator for later stats.
Be sure to stop skipping transactions once -t is reached.
Also, include skipped transactions in the "cnt" fields; this requires
discounting them again in a couple of places, but most places are
better off with this definition. In particular this is needed to
get correct overall stats for the combination of -R/-L/-t options.
Merge some more processing into processXactStats() to simplify this.
In passing, add a check that --progress-timestamp is specified only

Previously the -M switch had to appear before any switch that directly
or indirectly specified a benchmarking script. This was both confusing
and inadequately documented, as per gripe from Tatsuo Ishii. We can
remove the restriction at the cost of making an extra pass over the
lists of SQL commands, which seems like a cheap price (the string scans
themselves likely cost much more). The change is just to not extract
parameters from the SQL commands until we have finished parsing the
switches and know the final value of -M.
Per discussion, we'll treat this as a low-grade bug fix and sneak it
into v10, rather than holding it for v11.

In the frontend Makefiles that pull in libpgfeutils, we'd generally
done it like this:
LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport)
That method is badly broken, as seen in bug #14742 from Chris Ruprecht.
The -L flag for src/fe_utils ends up being placed after whatever random
-L flags are in LDFLAGS already. That puts us at risk of pulling in
libpgfeutils.a from some previous installation rather than the freshly
built one in src/fe_utils. Also, the lack of an "override" is hazardous
if someone tries to specify some LDFLAGS on the make command line.
The correct way to do it is like this:
override LDFLAGS := -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)
so that libpgfeutils, along with libpq, libpgport, and libpgcommon, are
guaranteed to be pulled in from the build tree and not from any referenced
system directory, because their -L flags will appear first.
In some places we'd been even lazier and done it like this:
LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils -lpq
which is subtly wrong in an additional way: on platforms where we can't
restrict the symbols exported by libpq.so, it allows libpgfeutils to
latch onto libpgport and libpgcommon symbols from libpq.so, rather than
directly from those static libraries as intended. This carries hazards
like those explained in the comments for the libpq_pgport macro.
In addition to fixing the broken libpgfeutils usages, I tried to
standardize on using $(libpq_pgport) like so:
override LDFLAGS := $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)
even where libpgfeutils is not in the picture. This makes no difference
right now but will hopefully discourage future mistakes of the same ilk.
And it's more like the way we handle CPPFLAGS in libpq-using Makefiles.
In passing, just for consistency, make pgbench include PTHREAD_LIBS the
same way everyplace else does, ie just after LIBS rather than in some
random place in the command line. This might have practical effect if
there are -L switches in that macro on some platform.
It looks to me like the MSVC build scripts are not affected by this
error, but someone more familiar with them than I might want to double
check.
Back-patch to 9.6 where libpgfeutils was introduced. In 9.6, the hazard
this error creates is that a reinstallation might link to the prior
installation's copy of libpgfeutils.a and thereby fail to absorb a
minor-version bug fix.

Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.

The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:
* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
than the expected column 33.
On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.
There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

For aggregated logging, pg_bench supposed that printing the integer part of
INSTR_TIME_GET_DOUBLE() would produce a Unix timestamp. That was already
broken on Windows, and it's about to get broken on most other platforms as
well. As in commit 74baa1e3b, we can remove the entanglement at the price
of one extra syscall per transaction; though here it seems more convenient
to use time(NULL) instead of gettimeofday(), since we only need
integral-second precision.
I took the time to do some wordsmithing on the documentation about
pgbench's logging features, too.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8837.1483216839@sss.pgh.pa.us
This code was presuming undue familiarity with the contents of the
instr_time struct. That was already broken on Windows, and it's about
to get broken on most other platforms as well. The simplest solution
that preserves the current output definition is to just do our own
gettimeofday() call here. Realistically, the extra cost is probably
negligible in comparison to everything else that's going on in a
pgbench transaction, so it's not worth sweating over.
On Windows, the precision delivered by gettimeofday() is lower than
one could wish, but this is still a big improvement over printing
zeroes, as the code did before.

Commit 41124a91e6 allowed the
transaction log file prefix to be changed but left in place the
existing 64-character limit on the total length of a log file name.
It's possible that could be inconvenient for somebody, so increase the
limit to MAXPGPATH, which ought to be enough for anybody.
Per a suggestion from Tom Lane.
The result of FD_ISSET() doesn't necessarily fit in a bool, though
assigning it to one might accidentally work depending on platform and which
socket FD number is being inquired of. Rewrite to test it with if(),
rather than making any specific assumption about the result width,
to match the way every other such call in PG is written.
Don't break out of the input_mask-filling loop after finding the first
client that we're waiting for results from. That mostly breaks parallel
query management.
Also, if we choose not to call select(), be sure to clear out any bits
the mask-filling loop might have set, so that we don't accidentally call
doCustom for clients we don't know have input. Doing so would likely
be harmless, but it's a waste of cycles and doesn't seem to be intended.
Make this_usec wide enough. (Yeah, the value would usually fit in an
int, but then why are we using int64 everywhere else?)
Minor cosmetic adjustments, mostly comment improvements.
Problems introduced by commit 12788ae49. The first issue was discovered
by buildfarm testing, the others by code review.
The doCustom() function had grown into quite a mess. Rewrite it, in a more
explicit state machine style, for readability.
This also fixes one minor bug: if a script consisted entirely of meta
commands, doCustom() never returned to the caller, so progress reports
with the -P option were not printed. I don't want to backpatch this
refactoring, and the bug is quite insignificant, so only commit this to
master, and leave the bug unfixed in back-branches.

The previous API for this function had it returning a malloc'd string.
That meant that callers had to check for NULL return, which few of them
were doing, and it also meant that callers had to remember to free()
the string later, which required extra logic in most cases.
Instead, make simple_prompt() write into a buffer supplied by the caller.
Anywhere that the maximum required input length is reasonably small,
which is almost all of the callers, we can just use a local or static
array as the buffer instead of dealing with malloc/free.
A fair number of callers used "pointer == NULL" as a proxy for "haven't
requested the password yet". Maintaining the same behavior requires
adding a separate boolean flag for that, which adds back some of the
complexity we save by removing free()s. Nonetheless, this nets out
at a small reduction in overall code size, and considerably less code
than we would have had if we'd added the missing NULL-return checks
everywhere they were needed.
In passing, clean up the API comment for simple_prompt() and get rid
of a very-unnecessary malloc/free in its Windows code path.
This is nominally a bug fix, but it does not seem worth back-patching,
because the actual risk of an OOM failure in any of these places seems
pretty tiny, and all of them are client-side not server-side anyway.
This patch is by me, but it owes a great deal to Michael Paquier
who identified the problem and drafted a patch for fixing it the
other way.

This might have been too much of a foot-gun before 9.6, but with the

Patch: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1607090922170.3412@sto>
The previous coding always stored variable values as strings, doing
conversion on-the-fly when a numeric value was needed or a number was to be
assigned. This was a bit inefficient and risked loss of precision for
floating-point values. The precision aspect had been hacked around by
printing doubles in "%.18e" format, which is ugly and has machine-dependent
results. Instead, arrange to preserve an assigned numeric value in the
original binary numeric format, converting to string only when and if
needed. When we do need to convert a double to string, convert in "%g"
format with DBL_DIG precision, which is the standard way to do it and
produces the least surprising results in most cases.
The implementation supports storing both a string value and a numeric
value for any one variable, with lazy conversion between them. I also
arranged for lazy re-sorting of the variable array when new variables are
added. That was mainly to allow a clean refactoring of putVariable()
into two levels of subroutine, but it may allow us to save a few sorts.
Discussion: <9188.1462475559@sss.pgh.pa.us>
These functions behave like the backend's least/greatest functions,
not like min/max, so the originally-chosen names invite confusion.
Per discussion, rename to least/greatest.
I also took it upon myself to make them return double if any input is
double. The previous behavior of silently coercing all inputs to int
surely does not meet the principle of least astonishment.
Copy-edit some of the other new functions' documentation, too.
This refines the previous weight range and allows a script to be "turned
off" by passing a zero weight, which is useful when scripting multiple
pgbench runs.
I did not apply the suggested warning when a script uses zero weight; we
use the principle elsewhere that if there's nothing to be done, do
nothing quietly.
Adjust docs accordingly.

You can now do the same thing via \set using the appropriate function,

INT64_MIN/MAX should be spelled PG_INT64_MIN/MAX, per well established

The new functions are pi(), random(), random_exponential(),
random_gaussian(), and sqrt(). I was worried that this would be

using fewer lines; each \setrandom can be merged into a subsequent
\set.

Some of the non-MSVC Windows buildfarm members seem to need this to avoid
getting "undefined symbol" errors on libpgfeutils' references to libpq.
I could understand that if libpq were a static library, but surely it is
not? Oh well, at least the extra reference is no more harmful than it is
for libpgcommon or libpgport.
This completes (at least for now) the project of getting rid of ad-hoc
linkages among the src/bin/ subdirectories. Everything they share is now
in src/fe_utils/ and is included from a static library at link time.
A side benefit is that we can restore the FLEX_NO_BACKUP check for
psqlscanslash.l. We might need to think of another way to do that check
if we ever need to build two lexers with that property in the same source
directory, but there's no foreseeable reason to need that.
The point of this change is to use %pure-parser in pgbench's exprparse.y.
The immediate reason is that it turns out very ancient versions of bison
have a bug with the combination of a reentrant lexer and non-reentrant
parser. We could consider dropping support for such ancient bisons; but
considering that we might well need exprparse.y to be reentrant some day,
it seems better to make it so right now than to move the portability
goalposts. (AFAICT there's no particular performance consequence to this
change, either, so there's no good reason not to do it.)
Now, %pure-parser assumes that the called lexer is built with %option
bison-bridge. Because we're assuming bitwise compatibility of yyscan_t
(yyguts_t) data structures among all the psql/pgbench lexers, that
requirement propagates back to psql's lexers as well. But it's just a
few lines of change on that side too; and if psqlscan.l is to set the
baseline for a possibly-large family of lexers, it should err on the
side of including not omitting useful features.
To allow multiline SQL commands in scripts, adopt the same rules psql uses
to decide what is the end of a SQL command, to wit, an unquoted semicolon
not encased in parentheses. Do this by importing the same flex lexer that
psql uses, since coping with stuff like dollar-quoted literals is hard to
get right without going the full nine yards.
This makes use of the infrastructure added in commit 0ea9efbe9e to
support independently-written flex lexers scanning the same PsqlScanState
input-buffer data structure. Since that infrastructure isn't very
friendly to ad-hoc parsing code such as strtok(), improve exprscan.l
so that it can parse either whitespace-separated words or expression
tokens, on demand, and rewrite pgbench.c's backslash-command parsing
code to always use the lexer to fetch tokens.
It's still the case that pgbench backslash commands extend to the end
of the line, no more and no less. That could be changed in a fairly
localized way now, and there was some interest in doing so, but it
seems like material for a separate patch.
In passing, make some marginal cleanups in syntax error reporting,
const-ify a few data structures that could use it, and run some of
this code through pgindent.
I can't tell whether the MSVC build scripts need to be taught explicitly
about the changes here or not, but the buildfarm will soon tell us.
Kyotaro Horiguchi and Tom Lane
This is a necessary preliminary step for making it play with psqlscan.l
given the way I set up the lexer input-buffer sharing mechanism in commit
0ea9efbe9e.
I've not tried to make it *actually* reentrant; there's still some static
variables laying about. But flex thinks it's reentrant, and that's what
counts.
In support of that, fix exprparse.y to pass through the yyscan_t from the
caller. Also do some minor code beautification, like not casting away
const.
Previously, all scripts had the same probability of being chosen when
multiple of them were specified via -b, -f, -N, -S. With this commit,
-b and -f now search for an "@" in the script name and use the integer
found after it as the drawing probability for that script.
(One disadvantage is that if you have script whose names contain @, you
are now forced to specify "@1" at the end; otherwise the name's @ is
confused with a weight separator. We don't expect many pgbench script
with @ in their names in the wild, so this shouldn't be too serious a
problem.)
While at it, rework the interface between addScript, process_file,
process_builtin, and findBuiltin. It had gotten a bit out of hand with
recent commits.

As written, this would accept e.g. 123e9 as a function name. Aside
from being mildly astonishing, that would come back to haunt us if
we ever try to add float constants to the expression syntax. Insist
that function names start with letters (or at least non-digits).
In passing reset yyline as well as yycol when starting a new expression.
This variable is useless since it's used nowhere, but if we're going

This makes the psql() method much more capable: it captures both stdout

if there's any problem. Finally, additional parameters to psql can be
passed if there's need for further tweaking.
For convenience, a new safe_psql() method retains much of the old
behavior of psql(), except that it uses on_error_die on, so that
problems like syntax errors in SQL commands can be detected more easily.
Many existing TAP test files now use safe_psql, which is what is really
wanted. A couple of ->psql() calls are now added in the commit_ts
tests, which verify that the right thing is happening on certain errors.
Some ->command_fails() calls in recovery tests that were verifying that
psql failed also became ->psql() calls now.

Architecture reference material specifies this order, and s_lock.h
inline assembly agrees. The former order failed to provide mutual
exclusion to lwlock.c and perhaps to other clients. The two xlc
buildfarm members, hornet and mandrill, have failed sixteen times with
duplicate key errors involving pg_class_oid_index or pg_type_oid_index.
Back-patch to 9.5, where commit b64d92f1a5
introduced atomics.

The original code wasn't careful to test the file descriptor returned by
PQsocket() for an invalid socket. If an invalid socket did turn up,
that would amount to calling FD_ISSET with fd = -1, whereby undefined
behavior can be invoked.
To fix, test file descriptor for validity and stop further processing if
that fails.
Problem noticed by Coverity.
There is an existing FD_ISSET callsite that does check for invalid
sockets beforehand, but the error message reported by it was
strerror(errno); in testing the aforementioned change, that turns out to
result in "bad socket: Success" which isn't terribly helpful. Instead
use PQerrorMessage() in both places which is more likely to contain an
useful error message.
Backpatch-through: 9.1.
There is no reason to have the per-thread logfile file pointer as a
separate parameter in various functions: it's much simpler to put it in
the per-thread state struct instead, which is already being passed to
all functions that need the log file anyway. Change the callsites in
which it was used as a boolean to test whether logging is active, so
that they use the use_log global variable instead.
No backpatch, even though this exists since commit a887c486d5 of March
2010, because this is just for cleanliness' sake and the surrounding
code has been modified a lot recently anyway.
Provide per-script statistical info (count of transactions executed

Dividing INT_MIN by -1 or taking INT_MIN modulo -1 can sometimes
cause floating-point exceptions or otherwise misbehave.

This doesn't add any functionality but just shuffles things around so
that it can be reused and improved later.

Previously, it was possible to specify one or several custom scripts to
run, or only one of the builtin scripts. With this patch it is also
possible to specify to run the builtin scripts multiple times, using the
new -b option. Also, unify the code for both cases; this eases future
pgbench improvements.

pgindent for recent commits; also change some variables from int to
boolean, which is how they are really used.
Mostly submitted by Fabien Coelho; this is in preparation to commit
further patches to the file.
Per a recommendation from Tomas Vondra, it's more helpful to refer to
the value that determines how skewed a Gaussian or exponential
distribution is as a parameter rather than a threshold.
Since it's not quite too late to get this right in 9.5, where it was
introduced, back-patch this. Most of the patch changes only comments
and documentation, but a few pgbench messages are altered to match.

The tolerance (larger than actual tps number) increases as the number
of threads decreases. The bug has been there since the thread support
was introduced in 9.0. Because back patching introduces incompatible
behavior changes regarding the tps number, the fix is committed to
master and 9.5 stable branches only.
Problem spotted by me and fix proposed by Fabien COELHO. Note that his
original patch included more than fixes (a code re-factoring) which is
not related to the problem and I omitted the part.
This patch adds an option to replace the "time since pgbench run
started" with a Unix epoch timestamp in the progress report so that,
for instance, it is easier to compare timelines with pgsql log

A removed check in ba3deeefb made all threads but the main one busy-loop
when -P was used. All threads computed the time to the next time the
progress report should be printed, but only the main thread did so and
re-scheduled it only for the future.

When we loop back to the top of doCustom after processing a backslash
command, we must reset the "now" timestamp, because that's used to
calculate the time spent executing the previous command.
Report and fix by Fabien Coelho. Backpatch to 9.5, where this was broken.
This was broken in 1bc90f7a, which removed the thread-emulation. With modest
-j and -c settings the result were usually close enough that you wouldn't
notice it easily, but with a high enough thread count it would access
uninitialized memory and crash.
Per report from Andres Freund offlist.
You can no longer use pgbench with multiple threads when compiled without
--enable-thread-safety. That's an acceptable limitation these days; it
still works fine with -j1, and all modern platforms support threads anyway.
This makes future maintenance and development of the code easier.

There were two issues here. First, if a query got stuck so that it took
e.g. 5 seconds, and progress interval was 1 second, no progress reports were
printed until the query returned. Fix so that we wake up specifically to
print the progress report. Secondly, if pgbench got stuck so that it would
nevertheless not print a progress report on time, and enough time passes
that it's already time to print the next progress report, just skip the one
that was missed. Before this patch, it would print the missed one with 0 TPS
immediately after the previous one.
Fabien Coelho. Backpatch to 9.4, where progress reports were added.
In pgbench, report, but ignore, any errors returned when attempting to
vacuum/truncate the default tables during startup. If the tables are
needed, we'll error out soon enough anyway.
