we'll get there one day.
Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.
Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.
inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards
fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short
parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still
more to do for the Alpha port however.
Make all system indexes unique.
Make all cache loads use system indexes.
Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables.
Rename cache names to be clearer.
The
offending code
has been removed, the action is now always dependent :-)
I suggest the following patch, to finally make trigger regression happy
again:
<<refint1.patch>>
After that you can remove the following from TODO:
Remove ERROR: check_primary_key: even number of arguments should be
specified
Trigger regression test fails

no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
seems that my last post didn't make it through. That's good
since the diff itself didn't covered the renaming of
pg_user.h to pg_shadow.h and it's new content.
Here it's again. The complete regression test passwd with
only some float diffs. createuser and destroyuser work.
pg_shadow cannot be read by ordinary user.
So if the relname is given to acldefault() in
utils/adt/acl.c, it can do a IsSystemRelationName() on it and
return ACL_RD instead of ACL_WORLD_DEFAULT.
When an acl item is added or updated the new entry is deleted if it has no
permissions and the acl array is shrinked. This is is done by decrementing
the number of items without updating the corresponding array size.
The array with the incorrect size is later read by pg_aclcheck and the entry
count is used to allocate a new array while the array size is used to copy
the old one. This causes a memory corruption and a backend crash.
This happens only to normal user as the administrator bypasses acl checks.
