558c9270c4 Fix buggy usage of vsnprintf in PL/Python by removing it altogether, instead
relying on stringinfo.c.  This fixes a problem reported by Marko Kreen, but I
didn't use his patch, per subsequent discussion.

d8e8a495da Fix "Overall Page Layout" table. The second row should be ItemIdData, not
ItemPointerData.

ef48ed4c86 Actually ... it's pretty silly that parse_oper.c doesn't set up the
opfuncid of an OpExpr initially, considering that it has the information
at hand already.  We'll still treat opfuncid as a cache rather than a
guaranteed-valid value, but this change saves one more syscache lookup
in the normal code path.

6342f36d87 Save one syscache lookup when examining volatility or strictness of
OpExpr and related nodes.  We're going to have to set the opfuncid of
such nodes eventually (if we haven't already), so we might as well
exploit the opportunity to cache the function OID.  Buys back some
of the extra planner overhead noted by Guillaume Smet, though I still
need to fool with equivclass.c to really respond to that.

f608f3b87b Prevent Perl from introducing a possibly-incompatible definition of type
"bool" into plperl.c.  This has always been a hazard since Perl allows a
platform-specific choice to define bool as int rather than char, but
evidently this didn't happen on any platform we support ... until OS X 10.5.
Per report from Brandon Maust.

Back-patch as far as 8.0 --- a bit arbitrary, but it seems unlikely anyone
will be trying to port 7.x onto new platforms.

happened to be right up against the end of memory, per report from

6f4cfe48ac Improve GIN index build's tracking of memory usage by using
GetMemoryChunkSpace, not just the palloc request size.  This brings the
allocatedMemory counter close enough to reality (as measured by
MemoryContextStats printouts) that I think we can get rid of the arbitrary
factor-of-2 adjustment that was put into the code initially.  Given the
sensitivity of GIN build to work memory size, not using as much of work
memory as we're allowed to seems a pretty bad idea.
2007-11-16 21:55:59 +00:00

16dcd5e5ce GIN index build's allocatedMemory counter needs to be long, not uint32.
Else, in a 64-bit machine with maintenance_work_mem set to above 4Gb,
the counter overflows and we never recognize having reached the
maintenance_work_mem limit.  I believe this explains out-of-memory
failure recently reported by Sean Davis.

This is a bug, so backpatch to 8.2.

93190c3098 Repair still another bug in the btree page split WAL reduction patch:
it failed for splits of non-leaf pages because in such pages the first
data key on a page is suppressed, and so we can't just copy the first
key from the right page to reconstitute the left page's high key.
