Tom Lane 46b5e7c4b5 Revert "Distinguish printf-like functions that support %m from those that don't."
This reverts commit 3a60c8ff89.  Buildfarm
results show that that caused a whole bunch of new warnings on platforms
where gcc believes the local printf to be non-POSIX-compliant.  This
problem outweighs the hypothetical-anyway possibility of getting warnings
for misuse of %m.  We could use gnu_printf archetype when we've substituted
src/port/snprintf.c, but that brings us right back to the problem of not
getting warnings for %m.

A possible answer is to attack it in the other direction by insisting
that %m support be included in printf's feature set, but that will take
more investigation.  In the meantime, revert the previous change, and
update the comment for PGAC_C_PRINTF_ARCHETYPE to more fully explain
what's going on.

Tom Lane 3a60c8ff89 Distinguish printf-like functions that support %m from those that don't.
The elog/ereport family of functions certainly support the %m format spec,
because they implement it "by hand".  But elsewhere we have printf wrappers
that might or might not allow it depending on whether the platform's printf
does.  (Most non-glibc versions don't, and notably, src/port/snprintf.c
doesn't.)  Hence, rather than using the gnu_printf format archetype
interchangeably for all these functions, use it only for elog/ereport.
This will allow us to get compiler warnings for mistakes like the ones
fixed in commit a13b47a59, at least on platforms where printf doesn't
take %m and gcc is correctly configured to know it.  (Unfortunately,
that won't happen on Linux, nor on macOS according to my testing.
It remains to be seen what the buildfarm's gcc-on-Windows animals will
think of this, but we may well have to rely on less-popular platforms
to warn us about unportable code of this kind.)

Tom Lane 06f66cff9e Support platforms where strtoll/strtoull are spelled __strtoll/__strtoull.
Ancient HPUX, for one, does this.  We hadn't noticed due to the lack
of regression tests that required a working strtoll.

(I was slightly tempted to remove the other historical spelling,
strto[u]q, since it seems we have no buildfarm members testing that case.
But I refrained.)

Tom Lane a6228128fc Arrange to supply declarations for strtoll/strtoull if needed.
Buildfarm member dromedary is still unhappy about the recently-added
ecpg "long long" tests.  The reason turns out to be that it includes
"-ansi" in its CFLAGS, and in their infinite wisdom Apple have decided
to hide the declarations of strtoll/strtoull in C89-compliant builds.
(I find it pretty curious that they hide those function declarations
when you can nonetheless declare a "long long" variable, but anyway
that is their behavior, both on dromedary's obsolete macOS version and
the newest and shiniest.)  As a result, gcc assumes these functions
return "int", leading naturally to wrong results.

(Looking at dromedary's past build results, it's evident that this
problem also breaks pg_strtouint64() on 32-bit platforms; but we
evidently have no regression tests that exercise that function with
values above 32 bits.)

To fix, supply declarations for these functions when the platform
provides the functions but not the declarations, using the same type
of mechanism as we use for some other similar cases.

Peter Eisentraut 7ba7986fb4 Fix interaction of Perl and stdbool.h
Revert the PL/Perl-specific change in
9a95a77d9d.  We must not prevent Perl from
using stdbool.h when it has been built to do so, even if it uses an
incompatible size.  Otherwise, we would be imposing our bool on Perl,
which will lead to crashes because of the size mismatch.

Instead, we undef bool after including the Perl headers, as we did
previously, but now only if we are not using stdbool.h ourselves.
Record that choice in c.h as USE_STDBOOL.  This will also make it easier
to apply that coding pattern elsewhere if necessary.
2018-03-23 10:31:10 -04:00
Peter Eisentraut 9a95a77d9d Use stdbool.h if suitable
Using the standard bool type provided by C allows some recent compilers
and debuggers to give better diagnostics.  Also, some extension code and
third-party headers are increasingly pulling in stdbool.h, so it's
probably saner if everyone uses the same definition.

But PostgreSQL code is not prepared to handle bool of a size other than
1, so we keep our own old definition if we encounter a stdbool.h with a
bool of a different size.  (Among current build farm members, this only
applies to old macOS versions on PowerPC.)

To check that the used bool is of the right size, add a static
assertions about size of GinTernaryValue vs bool.  This is currently the
only place that assumes that bool and char are of the same size.

Tom Lane 51940f9760 Cast to void in StaticAssertExpr, not its callers.
Seems a bit silly that many (in fact all, as of today) uses of
StaticAssertExpr would need to cast it to void to avoid warnings from
pickier compilers.  Let's just do the cast right in the macro, instead.

In passing, change StaticAssertExpr to StaticAssertStmt in one
place where that seems more apropos.

Tom Lane 03c5a00ea3 Move the extern declaration for ExceptionalCondition into c.h.
This is the logical conclusion of our decision to support Assert()
in both frontend and backend code: it should be possible to use that
after including just c.h.  But as things were arranged before, if
you wanted to use Assert() in code that might be compiled for either
environment, you had to include postgres.h for the backend case.
Let's simplify that.

Per buildfarm, some of whose members started throwing warnings after
commit 0c62356cc added an Assert in src/port/snprintf.c.

It's possible that some other src/port files that use the stanza

#ifndef FRONTEND
#include "postgres.h"
#else
#include "postgres_fe.h"
#endif

could now be simplified to just say '#include "c.h"'.  I have not
tested for that, though, and it'd be unlikely to apply for more
than a small number of them.

Tom Lane 434e6e1484 Improve implementation of pg_attribute_always_inline.
Avoid compiler warnings on MSVC (which doesn't want to see both
__forceinline and inline) and ancient GCC (which doesn't have
__attribute__((always_inline))).

Don't force inline-ing when building at -O0, as the programmer is probably
hoping for exact source-to-object-line correspondence in that case.
(For the moment this only works for GCC; maybe we can extend it later.)

Make pg_attribute_always_inline be syntactically a drop-in replacement
for inline, rather than an additional wart.

And improve the comments.

Tom Lane ed9b3606da Further refactoring of c.h and nearby files.
This continues the work of commit 91aec93e6 by getting rid of a lot of
Windows-specific funny business in "section 0".  Instead of including
pg_config_os.h in different places depending on platform, let's
standardize on putting it before the system headers, and in consequence
reduce win32.h to just what has to appear before the system headers or
the body of c.h (the latter category seems to include only PGDLLIMPORT
and PGDLLEXPORT).  The rest of what was in win32.h is moved to a new
sub-include of port.h, win32_port.h.  Some of what was in port.h seems
to better belong there too.

It's possible that I missed some declaration ordering dependency that
needs to be preserved, but hopefully the buildfarm will find that
out in short order.

Unlike the previous commit, no back-patch, since this is just cleanup
not a prerequisite for a bug fix.

Tom Lane 7518049980 Prevent int128 from requiring more than MAXALIGN alignment.
Our initial work with int128 neglected alignment considerations, an
oversight that came back to bite us in bug #14897 from Vincent Lachenal.
It is unsurprising that int128 might have a 16-byte alignment requirement;
what's slightly more surprising is that even notoriously lax Intel chips
sometimes enforce that.

Raising MAXALIGN seems out of the question: the costs in wasted disk and
memory space would be significant, and there would also be an on-disk
compatibility break.  Nor does it seem very practical to try to allow some
data structures to have more-than-MAXALIGN alignment requirement, as we'd
have to push knowledge of that throughout various code that copies data
structures around.

The only way out of the box is to make type int128 conform to the system's
alignment assumptions.  Fortunately, gcc supports that via its
__attribute__(aligned()) pragma; and since we don't currently support
int128 on non-gcc-workalike compilers, we shouldn't be losing any platform
support this way.

Although we could have just done pg_attribute_aligned(MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF) and
called it a day, I did a little bit of extra work to make the code more
portable than that: it will also support int128 on compilers without
__attribute__(aligned()), if the native alignment of their 128-bit-int
type is no more than that of int64.

Add a regression test case that exercises the one known instance of the
problem, in parallel aggregation over a bigint column.

This will need to be back-patched, along with the preparatory commit
91aec93e6.  But let's see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

Tom Lane 91aec93e60 Rearrange c.h to create a "compiler characteristics" section.
Generalize section 1 to handle stuff that is principally about the
compiler (not libraries), such as attributes, and collect stuff there
that had been dropped into various other parts of c.h.  Also, push
all the gettext macros into section 8, so that section 0 is really
just inclusions rather than inclusions and random other stuff.

The primary goal here is to get pg_attribute_aligned() defined before
section 3, so that we can use it with int128.  But this seems like good
cleanup anyway.

This patch just moves macro definitions around, and shouldn't result
in any changes in generated code.  But I'll push it out separately
to see if the buildfarm agrees.

Tom Lane 9d6b160d7d Make [U]INT64CONST safe for use in #if conditions.
Instead of using a cast to force the constant to be the right width,
assume we can plaster on an L, UL, LL, or ULL suffix as appropriate.
The old approach to this is very hoary, dating from before we were
willing to require compilers to have working int64 types.

This fix makes the PG_INT64_MIN, PG_INT64_MAX, and PG_UINT64_MAX
constants safe to use in preprocessor conditions, where a cast
doesn't work.  Other symbolic constants that might be defined using
[U]INT64CONST are likewise safer than before.

Also fix the SIZE_MAX macro to be similarly safe, if we are forced
to provide a definition for that.  The test added in commit 2e70d6b5e
happens to do what we want even with the hack "(size_t) -1" definition,
but we could easily get burnt on other tests in future.

it wasn't universally available; which means the code added in commit

we can rely on having SIZE_MAX everywhere.

Heikki Linnakangas ac883ac453 Fix shm_toc.c to always return buffer-aligned memory.
Previously, if you passed a non-aligned size to shm_toc_create(), the
memory returned by shm_toc_allocate() would be similarly non-aligned.
This was exposed by commit 3cda10f41b, which allocated structs containing
a pg_atomic_uint64 field with shm_toc_allocate(). On systems with
MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF = 4, such structs still need to be 8-bytes aligned, but
the memory returned by shm_toc_allocate() was only 4-bytes aligned.

It's quite bogus that we abuse BUFFERALIGN to align the structs for
pg_atomic_uint64. It doesn't really have anything to do with buffers. But
that's a separate issue.

This ought to fix the buildfarm failures on 32-bit x86 systems.

Tom Lane c7b8998ebb Phase 2 of pgindent updates.
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.

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.

Tom Lane e3860ffa4d Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.
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.

Tom Lane b6aa17e0ae De-support floating-point timestamps.
Per discussion, the time has come to do this.  The handwriting has been
on the wall at least since 9.0 that this would happen someday, whenever
it got to be too much of a burden to support the float-timestamp option.
The triggering factor now is the discovery that there are multiple bugs
in the code that attempts to implement use of integer timestamps in the
replication protocol even when the server is built for float timestamps.
The internal float timestamps leak into the protocol fields in places.
While we could fix the identified bugs, there's a very high risk of
introducing more.  Trying to build a wall that would positively prevent
mixing integer and float timestamps is more complexity than we want to
undertake to maintain a long-deprecated option.  The fact that these
bugs weren't found through testing also indicates a lack of interest
in float timestamps.

This commit disables configure's --disable-integer-datetimes switch
(it'll still accept --enable-integer-datetimes, though), removes direct
references to USE_INTEGER_DATETIMES, and removes discussion of float
timestamps from the user documentation.  A considerable amount of code is
rendered dead by this, but removing that will occur as separate mop-up.

Andres Freund 80abbeba23 Make init_spin_delay() C89 compliant and change stuck spinlock reporting.
The current definition of init_spin_delay (introduced recently in
48354581a) wasn't C89 compliant. It's not legal to refer to refer to
non-constant expressions, and the ptr argument was one.  This, as
reported by Tom, lead to a failure on buildfarm animal pademelon.

The pointer, especially on system systems with ASLR, isn't super helpful
anyway, though. So instead of making init_spin_delay into an inline
function, make s_lock_stuck() report the function name in addition to
file:line and change init_spin_delay() accordingly. While not a direct
replacement, the function name is likely more useful anyway (line
numbers are often hard to interpret in third party reports).

This also fixes what file/line number is reported for waits via
s_lock().

As PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO is now used outside of elog.h, move it to c.h.

Tom Lane a65e086453 Remove support for Unix systems without the POSIX signal APIs.
Remove configure's checks for HAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS, HAVE_SIGPROCMASK, and
HAVE_SIGSETJMP.  These APIs are required by the Single Unix Spec v2
(POSIX 1997), which we generally consider to define our minimum required
set of Unix APIs.  Moreover, no buildfarm member has reported not having
them since 2012 or before, which means that even if the code is still live
somewhere, it's untested --- and we've made plenty of signal-handling
changes of late.  So just take these APIs as given and save the cycles for
configure probes for them.

However, we can't remove as much C code as I'd hoped, because the Windows
port evidently still uses the non-POSIX code paths for signal masking.
Since we're largely emulating these BSD-style APIs for Windows anyway, it
might be a good thing to switch over to POSIX-like notation and thereby
remove a few more #ifdefs.  But I'm not in a position to code or test that.
In the meantime, we can at least make things a bit more transparent by
testing for WIN32 explicitly in these places.

Tom Lane 0f19d0f12f Remove long-dead support for platforms without sig_atomic_t.
C89 requires <signal.h> to define sig_atomic_t, and there is no evidence
in the buildfarm that any supported platforms don't comply.  Remove the
configure test to stop wasting build cycles on a purely historical issue.
(Once upon a time, we cared about supporting C89-compliant compilers on
machines with pre-C89 system headers, but that use-case has been dead for
quite a few years.)

I have some other fixes planned in this area, but let's start with this
to see if the buildfarm produces any surprising results.

Andres Freund 5a33650f24 Attempt to work around a 32bit xlc compiler bug from a different place.
In de6fd1c8 I moved the the work around from 53f73879 into the aix
template. The previous location was removed in the former commit, and I
thought that it would be nice to emit a warning when running configure.

That didn't turn out to work because at the point the template is
included we don't know whether we're compiling a 32/64 bit binary and
it's possible to install compilers for both on a 64 bit kernel/OS.

So go back to a less ambitious approach and define
PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE in port/aix.h, without emitting a warning. We
could try a more fancy approach, but it doesn't seem worth it.

This requires moving the check for PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE in c.h to
after including the system headers included from therein which isn't
perfect, as it seems slightly more robust to include all system headers
in a similar environment. Oh well.

Andres Freund de6fd1c898 Rely on inline functions even if that causes warnings in older compilers.
So far we have worked around the fact that some very old compilers do
not support 'inline' functions by only using inline functions
conditionally (or not at all). Since such compilers are very rare by
now, we have decided to rely on inline functions from 9.6 onwards.

To avoid breaking these old compilers inline is defined away when not
supported. That'll cause "function x defined but not used" type of
warnings, but since nobody develops on such compilers anymore that's
ok.

This change in policy will allow us to more easily employ inline
functions.

I chose to remove code previously conditional on PG_USE_INLINE as it
seemed confusing to have code dependent on a define that's always
defined.

Blacklisting of compilers, like in c53f73879f, now has to be done
differently. A platform template can define PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE to
force inline to be defined empty.

Andres Freund 62e2a8dc2c Define integer limits independently from the system definitions.
In 83ff1618 we defined integer limits iff they're not provided by the
system. That turns out not to be the greatest idea because there's
different ways some datatypes can be represented. E.g. on OSX PG's 64bit
datatype will be a 'long int', but OSX unconditionally uses 'long
long'. That disparity then can lead to warnings, e.g. around printf
formats.

One way to fix that would be to back int64 using stdint.h's
int64_t. While a good idea it's not that easy to implement. We would
e.g. need to include stdint.h in our external headers, which we don't
today. Also computing the correct int64 printf formats in that case is
nontrivial.

Instead simply prefix the integer limits with PG_ and define them
unconditionally. I've adjusted all the references to them in code, but
not the ones in comments; the latter seems unnecessary to me.

Tom Lane 785941cdc3 Tweak __attribute__-wrapping macros for better pgindent results.
This improves on commit bbfd7edae5 by
making two simple changes:

* pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn().
Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed().  This reduces
pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them.

* attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not
definitions.  Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts,
which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent
but often were outright wrong anyway.  (It does little good to put a
noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.)  In any case, if
we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc
compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns.

I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of
declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete
anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.

Andres Freund 83ff1618bc Centralize definition of integer limits.
Several submitted and even committed patches have run into the problem
that C89, our baseline, does not provide minimum/maximum values for
various integer datatypes. C99's stdint.h does, but we can't rely on
it.

Several parts of the code defined limits locally, so instead centralize
the definitions to c.h.

This patch also changes the more obvious usages of literal limit values;
there's more places that could be changed, but it's less clear whether
it's beneficial to change those.

Andres Freund 8122e1437e Add, optional, support for 128bit integers.
We will, for the foreseeable future, not expose 128 bit datatypes to
SQL. But being able to use 128bit math will allow us, in a later patch,
to use 128bit accumulators for some aggregates; leading to noticeable
speedups over using numeric.

So far we only detect a gcc/clang extension that supports 128bit math,
but no 128bit literals, and no *printf support. We might want to expand
this in the future to further compilers; if there are any that that
provide similar support.

Andres Freund bbfd7edae5 Add macros wrapping all usage of gcc's __attribute__.
Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but
gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers;
which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability.  It's also just
generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h.

Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf,
pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that
understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed,
but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality.

This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on
__attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into
warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many
occurances of that and it's hard to work around...
