Tom Lane 55c3391d1e Be pickier about converting between Name and Datum.
We were misapplying NameGetDatum() to plain C strings in some places.
This worked, because it was just a pointer cast anyway, but it's a type
cheat in some sense.  Use CStringGetDatum instead, and modify the
NameGetDatum macro so it won't compile if applied to something that's
not a pointer to NameData.  This should result in no changes to
generated code, but it is logically cleaner.

Tom Lane a4c35ea1c2 Improve parser's and planner's handling of set-returning functions.
Teach the parser to reject misplaced set-returning functions during parse
analysis using p_expr_kind, in much the same way as we do for aggregates
and window functions (cf commit eaccfded9).  While this isn't complete
(it misses nesting-based restrictions), it's much better than the previous
error reporting for such cases, and it allows elimination of assorted
ad-hoc expression_returns_set() error checks.  We could add nesting checks
later if it seems important to catch all cases at parse time.

There is one case the parser will now throw error for although previous
versions allowed it, which is SRFs in the tlist of an UPDATE.  That never
behaved sensibly (since it's ill-defined which generated row should be
used to perform the update) and it's hard to see why it should not be
treated as an error.  It's a release-note-worthy change though.

Also, add a new Query field hasTargetSRFs reporting whether there are
any SRFs in the targetlist (including GROUP BY/ORDER BY expressions).
The parser can now set that basically for free during parse analysis,
and we can use it in a number of places to avoid expression_returns_set
searches.  (There will be more such checks soon.)  In some places, this
allows decontorting the logic since it's no longer expensive to check for
SRFs in the tlist --- so I made the checks parallel to the handling of
hasAggs/hasWindowFuncs wherever it seemed appropriate.

catversion bump because adding a Query field changes stored rules.

Andres Freund bfe16d1a5d Add more tests for targetlist SRFs.
We're considering changing the implementation of targetlist SRFs
considerably, and a lot of the current behaviour isn't tested in our
regression tests. Thus it seems useful to increase coverage to avoid
accidental behaviour changes.

It's quite possible that some of the plans here will require adjustments
to avoid falling afoul of ordering differences (e.g. hashed group
bys). The buildfarm will tell us.

Tom Lane 40b449ae84 Allow CREATE EXTENSION to follow extension update paths.
Previously, to update an extension you had to produce both a version-update
script and a new base installation script.  It's become more and more
obvious that that's tedious, duplicative, and error-prone.  This patch
attempts to improve matters by allowing the new base installation script
to be omitted.  CREATE EXTENSION will install a requested version if it
can find a base script and a chain of update scripts that will get there.
As in the existing update logic, shorter chains are preferred if there's
more than one possibility, with an arbitrary tie-break rule for chains
of equal length.

Also adjust the pg_available_extension_versions view to show such versions
as installable.

While at it, refactor the code so that CASCADE processing works for
extensions requested during ApplyExtensionUpdates().  Without this,
addition of a new requirement in an updated extension would require
creating a new base script, even if there was no other reason to do that.
(It would be easy at this point to add a CASCADE option to ALTER EXTENSION
UPDATE, to allow the same thing to happen during a manually-commanded
version update, but I have not done that here.)

Tom Lane 28e5e5648c Fix and simplify MSVC build's handling of xml/xslt/uuid dependencies.
Solution.pm mistakenly believed that the xml option requires the xslt
option, when actually the dependency is the other way around; and it
believed that libxml requires libiconv, which is not necessarily so,
so we shouldn't enforce it here.  Fix the option cross-checking logic.

Also, since AddProject already takes care of adding libxml and libxslt
include and library dependencies to every project, there's no need
for the custom code that did that in mkvcbuild.  While at it, let's
handle the similar dependencies for uuid in a similar fashion.

Given the lack of field complaints about these overly strict build
dependency requirements, there seems no need for a back-patch.

Heikki Linnakangas 24598337c8 Implement binary heap replace-top operation in a smarter way.
In external sort's merge phase, we maintain a binary heap holding the next
tuple from each input tape. On each step, the topmost tuple is returned,
and replaced with the next tuple from the same tape. We were doing the
replacement by deleting the top node in one operation, and inserting the
next tuple after that. However, you can do a "replace-top" operation more
efficiently, in one "sift-up". A deletion will always walk the heap from
top to bottom, but in a replacement, we can stop as soon as we find the
right place for the new tuple. This is particularly helpful, if the tapes
are not in completely random order, so that the next tuple from a tape is
likely to land near the top of the heap.

Tom Lane f2717c79ee Improve unreachability recognition in elog() macro.
Some experimentation with an older version of gcc showed that it is able
to determine whether "if (elevel_ >= ERROR)" is compile-time constant
if elevel_ is declared "const", but otherwise not so much.  We had
accounted for that in ereport() but were too miserly with braces to
make it so in elog().  I don't know how many currently-interesting
compilers have the same quirk, but in case it will save some code
space, let's make sure that elog() is on the same footing as ereport()
for this purpose.

Tom Lane ddc8893179 Fix miserable coding in pg_stat_get_activity().
Commit dd1a3bccc replaced a test on whether a subroutine returned a
null pointer with a test on whether &pointer->backendStatus was null.
This accidentally failed to fail, at least on common compilers, because
backendStatus is the first field in the struct; but it was surely trouble
waiting to happen.  Commit f91feba87 then messed things up further,
changing the logic to

	local_beentry = pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry(curr_backend);
	if (!local_beentry)
		continue;
	beentry = &local_beentry->backendStatus;
	if (!beentry)
	{

where the second "if" is now dead code, so that the intended behavior of
printing a row with "<backend information not available>" cannot occur.

I suspect this is all moot because pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry
will never actually return null in this function's usage, but it's still
very poor coding.  Repair back to 9.4 where the original problem was
introduced.

Tom Lane b1328d78f8 Invent PageIndexTupleOverwrite, and teach BRIN and GiST to use it.
PageIndexTupleOverwrite performs approximately the same function as
PageIndexTupleDelete (or PageIndexDeleteNoCompact) followed by PageAddItem
targeting the same item pointer offset.  But in the case where the new
tuple is the same size as the old, it avoids shuffling other data around on
the page, because the new tuple is placed where the old one was rather than
being appended to the end of the page.  This has been shown to provide a
substantial speedup for some GiST use-cases.

Also, this change allows some API simplifications: we can get rid of
the rather klugy and error-prone PAI_ALLOW_FAR_OFFSET flag for
PageAddItemExtended, since that was used only to cover a corner case
for BRIN that's better expressed by using PageIndexTupleOverwrite.

Note that this patch causes a rather subtle WAL incompatibility: the
physical page content change represented by certain WAL records is now
different than it was before, because while the tuples have the same
itempointer line numbers, the tuples themselves are in different places.
I have not bumped the WAL version number because I think it doesn't matter
unless you are trying to do bitwise comparisons of original and replayed
pages, and in any case we're early in a devel cycle and there will probably
be more WAL changes before v10 gets out the door.

There is probably room to make use of PageIndexTupleOverwrite in SP-GiST
and GIN too, but that is left for a future patch.

Alvaro Herrera 5c609a742f Fix locking a tuple updated by an aborted (sub)transaction
When heap_lock_tuple decides to follow the update chain, it tried to
also lock any version of the tuple that was created by an update that
was subsequently rolled back.  This is pointless, since for all intents
and purposes that tuple exists no more; and moreover it causes
misbehavior, as reported independently by Marko Tiikkaja and Marti
Raudsepp: some SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries may fail to return
the tuples, and assertion-enabled builds crash.

Fix by having heap_lock_updated_tuple test the xmin and return success
immediately if the tuple was created by an aborted transaction.

The condition where tuples become invisible occurs when an updated tuple
chain is followed by heap_lock_updated_tuple, which reports the problem
as HeapTupleSelfUpdated to its caller heap_lock_tuple, which in turn
propagates that code outwards possibly leading the calling code
(ExecLockRows) to believe that the tuple exists no longer.

Backpatch to 9.3.  Only on 9.5 and newer this leads to a visible
failure, because of commit 27846f02c176; before that, heap_lock_tuple
skips the whole dance when the tuple is already locked by the same
transaction, because of the ancient HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate behavior.
Still, the buggy condition may also exist in more convoluted scenarios
involving concurrent transactions, so it seems safer to fix the bug in
the old branches too.

Tom Lane 984d0a14e8 In PageIndexTupleDelete, don't assume stored item lengths are MAXALIGNed.
PageAddItem stores the item length as-is.  It MAXALIGN's the amount of
space actually allocated for each tuple, but not the stored length.
PageRepairFragmentation, PageIndexMultiDelete, and PageIndexDeleteNoCompact
are all on board with this and MAXALIGN item lengths after fetching them.
But PageIndexTupleDelete expects the stored length to be a MAXALIGN
multiple already.  This accidentally works for existing index AMs because
they all maxalign their tuple sizes internally; but we don't do that for
heap tuples, and it shouldn't be a requirement for index tuples either.

So, sync PageIndexTupleDelete with the rest of bufpage.c by having it
maxalign the item size after fetching.

Also add a check that pd_special is maxaligned, to ensure that the test
"(offset + size) > phdr->pd_special" is still doing the right thing.
(If offset and pd_special are aligned, it doesn't matter whether size is.)
Again, this is in sync with the rest of the routines here, except for
PageAddItem which doesn't test because it doesn't actually do anything
for which pd_special alignment matters.

This shouldn't have any immediate functional impact; it just adds the
flexibility to use PageIndexTupleDelete on index tuples with non-aligned
lengths.

Tom Lane 967a7b0fc9 Avoid reporting "cache lookup failed" for some user-reachable cases.
We have a not-terribly-thoroughly-enforced-yet project policy that internal
errors with SQLSTATE XX000 (ie, plain elog) should not be triggerable from
SQL.  record_in, domain_in, and PL validator functions all failed to meet
this standard, because they threw plain elog("cache lookup failed for XXX")
errors on bad OIDs, and those are all invokable from SQL.

For record_in, the best fix is to upgrade typcache.c (lookup_type_cache)
to throw a user-facing error for this case.  That seems consistent because
it was more than halfway there already, having user-facing errors for shell
types and non-composite types.  Having done that, tweak domain_in to rely
on the typcache to throw an appropriate error.  (This costs little because
InitDomainConstraintRef would fetch the typcache entry anyway.)

For the PL validator functions, we already have a single choke point at
CheckFunctionValidatorAccess, so just fix its error to be user-facing.

Tom Lane df5d9bb8d5 Allow pg_dump to dump non-extension members of an extension-owned schema.
Previously, if a schema was created by an extension, a normal pg_dump run
(not --binary-upgrade) would summarily skip every object in that schema.
In a case where an extension creates a schema and then users create other
objects within that schema, this does the wrong thing: we want pg_dump
to skip the schema but still create the non-extension-owned objects.

There's no easy way to fix this pre-9.6, because in earlier versions the
"dump" status for a schema is just a bool and there's no way to distinguish
"dump me" from "dump my members".  However, as of 9.6 we do have enough
state to represent that, so this is a simple correction of the logic in
selectDumpableNamespace.

Tom Lane bd180b6079 Doc: minor documentation improvements about extensions.
Document the formerly-undocumented behavior that schema and comment
control-file entries for an extension are honored only during initial
installation, whereas other properties are also honored during updates.

While at it, do some copy-editing on the recently-added docs for CREATE
EXTENSION ... CASCADE, use links for some formerly vague cross references,
and make a couple other minor improvements.

Back-patch to 9.6 where CASCADE was added.  The other parts of this
could go further back, but they're probably not important enough to
bother.

Tom Lane 4f405c8ef4 Add a HINT for client-vs-server COPY failure cases.
Users often get confused between COPY and \copy and try to use client-side
paths with COPY.  The server then cannot find the file (if remote), or sees
a permissions problem (if local), or some variant of that.  Emit a hint
about this in the most common cases.

In future we might want to expand the set of errnos for which the hint
gets printed, but be conservative for now.

Peter Eisentraut 49eb0fd097 Add location field to DefElem
Add a location field to the DefElem struct, used to parse many utility
commands.  Update various error messages to supply error position
information.

To propogate the error position information in a more systematic way,
create a ParseState in standard_ProcessUtility() and pass that to
interested functions implementing the utility commands.  This seems
better than passing the query string and then reassembling a parse state
ad hoc, which violates the encapsulation of the ParseState type.

Tom Lane 975768f8ea Doc: small improvements for documentation about VACUUM freezing.
Mostly, explain how row xmin's used to be replaced by FrozenTransactionId
and no longer are.  Do a little copy-editing on the side.

Per discussion with Egor Rogov.  Back-patch to 9.4 where the behavioral
change occurred.

Tom Lane f032722f86 Guard against possible memory allocation botch in batchmemtuples().
Negative availMemLessRefund would be problematic.  It's not entirely
clear whether the case can be hit in the code as it stands, but this
seems like good future-proofing in any case.  While we're at it,
insist that the value be not merely positive but not tiny, so as to
avoid doing a lot of repalloc work for little gain.

Tom Lane cdc70597c9 Teach appendShellString() to not quote strings containing "-".
Brain fade in commit a00c58314: I was thinking that a string starting with
"-" could be taken as a switch depending on command line syntax.  That's
true, but having appendShellString() quote it will not help, so we may as
well not do so.  Per complaint from Peter Eisentraut.

Tom Lane a2ee579b6d Repair whitespace in initdb message.
What used to be four spaces somehow turned into a tab and a couple of
spaces in commit a00c58314, no doubt from overhelpful emacs autoindent.

Simon Riggs dcb12ce8d8 Fix VACUUM_TRUNCATE_LOCK_WAIT_INTERVAL
lazy_truncate_heap() was waiting for
VACUUM_TRUNCATE_LOCK_WAIT_INTERVAL, but in microseconds
not milliseconds as originally intended.

Found by code inspection.
