Test coverage support now covers the entire source tree, including
contrib, instead of just src/backend. In a related but independent
development, the commands make coverage and make coverage-html can be run
in any directory.
This turned out to be much easier than feared. Besides a few ad hoc fixes
to pass the make target down the tree, change all affected makefiles to
list their directories in the SUBDIRS variable, changed from variants like
DIRS and WANTED_DIRS. MSVC build fix was attempted as well.
Both hex format and the traditional "escape" format are automatically
handled on input. The output format is selected by the new GUC variable
bytea_output.
As committed, bytea_output defaults to HEX, which is an *incompatible
change*. We will keep it this way for awhile for testing purposes, but
should consider whether to switch to the more backwards-compatible
default of ESCAPE before 8.5 is released.

sockopt(SO_NOSIGPIPE) or the MSG_NOSIGNAL flag to send().
We assume these features are available if (1) the symbol is defined at
compile time and (2) the kernel doesn't reject the call at runtime.
It might turn out that there are some platforms where (1) and (2) are
true and yet the signal isn't really blocked, in which case applications
would die on server crash. If that sort of thing gets reported, then
we'll have to add additional defenses of some kind.

Changes:
Pass in the keyword lookup array instead of having it be hardwired.
(This incidentally allows elimination of some duplicate coding in ecpg.)
Re-order the token declarations in gram.y so that non-keyword tokens have
numbers that won't change when keywords are added or removed.
Add ".." and ":=" to the set of tokens recognized by scan.l. (Since these
combinations are nowhere legal in core SQL, this does not change anything
except the precise wording of the error you get when you write this.)
__attribute__() marker so that gcc can validate the format string against
the actual arguments, get rid of overcomplicated and unsafe usage in
base_yyerror().
"verify-ca" and "verify-full".
Since "prefer" remains the default, this will make certificate validation
off by default, which should lead to less upgrade issues.
In the backend, I changed only a handful of exemplary or important-looking
instances to make use of the plural support; there is probably more work
there. For the rest of the source, this should cover all relevant cases.
noise words for the last twelve years, for compatibility with Berkeley-era
output formatting of the special INVALID values for those datatypes.
Considering that the datatypes themselves have been deprecated for awhile,
this is taking backwards compatibility a little far. Per gripe from Josh
Berkus.
kwlist.h, to avoid having to link the backend object file into other programs
like pg_dump. We can now simply symlink a single source file from the backend
(kwlookup.c, containing the shared routine ScanKeywordLookup) and compile it
locally, which is a lot cleaner.
to the documented API value. The previous code got it right as
it's implemented, but accepted too much/too little compared to
the API documentation.
Per comment from Zdenek Kotala.
Replace leftover instances of _() by ecpg_gettext(), the latter being the
correct way to refer to the library's message catalog, instead of the one of
the program using the library.
Drop NLS support for ecpg_log(), which is a debugging instrument similar to
elog() in the backend.
We cannot support NLS in the ecpg compatlib, because that requires
ecpg_gettext, which is in ecpglib, which is not a dependency of compatlib. It
doesn't seem worthwhile to worry about this, since the only translatable
string is "out of memory", and gettext probably won't be able to do much
without memory either.
Adjust messages to project style.
now always use the system username as the default, and not try to pick it up
from the kerberos ticket.
This fixes the spurious error messages that show up on kerberos-enabled builds
when not actually using kerberos, and puts it in line with how other authentication
methods work.
empty query string is passed to PQexecParams and related functions. Its
handling of the NoData response to Describe messages was subtly incorrect.
Per my report of yesterday.
Although I consider this a bug, it's a behavioral change that might affect
applications, so not back-patched.
In passing fix a second issue in the same code: it didn't react well to an
out-of-memory failure while trying to make the PGresult object.
preprocessor and the library. This is useful for a number of reasons:
* The preprocessor and the library are in some cases installed in separate
packages and used by different classes of users.
* The library MO files need a different versioning scheme to account for the
soname.
* The makefiles are simpler, more robust, and easier to maintain this way.
(NLS web site was prone to break everytime a build rule changes.)
* Translators might choose to focus on the ecpglib, because that is more
user-facing.
* There was virtually no overlap, so nothing is lost.

it's connection. This is required for applications that unload
the libpq library (such as PHP) in which case we'd otherwise
have pointers to these functions when they no longer exist.
This needs a bit more testing before we can consider a backpatch,
so not doing that yet.
In passing, remove unused functions in backend/libpq.

Since this means we no longer need fnmatch, remove the imported implementation

along the way to filling the buffer. The previous coding would just silently
discard portions of the intended buffer contents, as exhibited in trouble

in this line, but this is a start.
libpq. As noted by Peter, adding this variable created a risk of unexpected
connection failures when talking to older server versions, and since it
doesn't do anything you can't do with PGOPTIONS, it doesn't seem really
necessary. Removing it does occasion a few extra lines in pg_regress.c,
but saving a getenv() call per libpq connection attempt is perhaps worth
that anyway.
from DateStyle, and create a new interval style that produces output matching
the SQL standard (at least for interval values that fall within the standard's
restrictions). IntervalStyle is also used to resolve the conflict between the
standard and traditional Postgres rules for interpreting negative interval
input.

after each other (since we already add a newline on each, this makes them
multiline).
Previously a new error would just overwrite the old one, so for example any
error caused when trying to connect with SSL enabled would be overwritten
by the error message form the non-SSL connection when using sslmode=prefer.
There are some unimplemented aspects: recursive queries must use UNION ALL
(should allow UNION too), and we don't have SEARCH or CYCLE clauses.
These might or might not get done for 8.4, but even without them it's a
pretty useful feature.
There are also a couple of small loose ends and definitional quibbles,
which I'll send a memo about to pgsql-hackers shortly. But let's land
the patch now so we can get on with other development.

This is a stripped-down version of Radek Strnad's patch, with further
changes by me.
that presence of the password in the conninfo string must be checked *before*
risking a connection attempt, there is no point in checking it afterwards.
This makes the specification of PQconnectionUsedPassword() a bit simpler
and perhaps more generally useful, too.
conninfo string *before* trying to connect to the remote server, not after.
As pointed out by Marko Kreen, in certain not-very-plausible situations
this could result in sending a password from the postgres user's .pgpass file,
or other places that non-superusers shouldn't have access to, to an
untrustworthy remote server. The cleanest fix seems to be to expose libpq's
conninfo-string-parsing code so that dblink can check for a password option
without duplicating the parsing logic.

available.
This was a main cause for the NLS web site breakage.
Per Microsoft knowledge base article Q201213, early versions of
Windows fail when we do this. Later versions of Windows appear
to have a higher limit than 64Kb, but do still fail on large

Patch from Tom Lane.
so long as all the trailing arguments are of the same (non-array) type.
The function receives them as a single array argument (which is why they
have to all be the same type).
It might be useful to extend this facility to aggregates, but this patch
doesn't do that.
This patch imposes a noticeable slowdown on function lookup --- a follow-on
patch will fix that by adding a redundant column to pg_proc.
Pavel Stehule
we are on a 64-bit machine (ie, size_t is wider than int) and someone passes
in a query string that approaches or exceeds INT_MAX bytes. Also, just for
paranoia's sake, guard against similar overflows in sizing the input buffer.
The backend will not in the foreseeable future be prepared to send or receive
strings exceeding 1GB, so I didn't take the more invasive step of switching
all the buffer index variables from int to size_t; though someday we might
want to do that.
I have a suspicion that this is not the only such bug in libpq, but this
fix is enough to take care of the crash reported by Francisco Reyes.

previously fall through *without locking* - the new code will exit(1).
Printing the error message on stderr will not work for all applications, but
it's better than nothing at all - and our API doesn't provide a way to return
the error to the caller.
modules are built. Foremost, it creates a solid distinction between these two
types of targets based on what had already been implemented and duplicated in
ad hoc ways before. Specifically,
- Dynamically loadable modules no longer get a soname. The numbers previously
set in the makefiles were dummy numbers anyway, and the presence of a soname
upset a few packaging tools, so it is nicer not to have one.
- The cumbersome detour taken on installation (build a libfoo.so.0.0.0 and
then override the rule to install foo.so instead) is removed.
- Lots of duplicated code simplified.
key files that are similar to the one for the postmaster's data directory
permissions check. (I chose to standardize on that one since it's the most
heavily used and presumably best-wordsmithed by now.) Also eliminate explicit
tests on file ownership in these places, since the ensuing read attempt must
fail anyway if it's wrong, and there seems no value in issuing the same error
message for distinct problems. (But I left in the explicit ownership test in
postmaster.c, since it had its own error message anyway.) Also be more
specific in the documentation's descriptions of these checks. Per a gripe
from Kevin Hunter.

to explicitly cast the output back to char before comparing it to a char
value, else we get the wrong result for high-bit-set characters. Found by
Rolf Jentsch. Also, fix several places where <ctype.h> functions were being
called without casting the argument to unsigned char; this is likewise
unportable, but we keep making that mistake :-(. These found by buildfarm

This bug has been there all along, but since the situation is usually
only of interest to developers, I chose not to back-patch the changes.
main code path for enlarging libpq's input buffer in one swoop when needing to
read a long data message. Without this, the code will double the buffer size,
read more data, notice it still hasn't got the whole message, and repeat till
it finally has a large enough buffer. Which wastes a lot of data-moving
effort and also memory (since malloc probably can't do anything very useful
with the freed-up smaller buffers). Not sure why this wasn't there already;
certainly the COPY data path is a place where we're quite likely to see long
data messages. I'm not backpatching though, since this is just a marginal
performance issue rather than a real bug.
ParameterStatus message can be sent during COPY OUT: it's definitely
possible, since COPY from a SELECT subquery can trigger any user-defined
function.
we need to be able to swallow NOTICE messages, and potentially also
ParameterStatus messages (although the latter would be a bit weird),
without exiting COPY OUT state. Fix it, and adjust the protocol documentation
to emphasize the need for this. Per off-list report from Alexander Galler.

Also fixed test case that didn't detect this.

Per bug report from Mark Cave-Ayland and subsequent discussion.
renumbering of encoding IDs done between 8.2 and 8.3 turns out to break 8.2
initdb and psql if they are run with an 8.3beta1 libpq.so. For the moment
we can rearrange the order of enum pg_enc to keep the same number for
everything except PG_JOHAB, which isn't a problem since there are no direct
references to it in the 8.2 programs anyway. (This does force initdb
unfortunately.)
Going forward, we want to fix things so that encoding IDs can be changed
without an ABI break, and this commit includes the changes needed to allow
libpq's encoding IDs to be treated as fully independent of the backend's.
The main issue is that libpq clients should not include pg_wchar.h or
otherwise assume they know the specific values of libpq's encoding IDs,
since they might encounter version skew between pg_wchar.h and the libpq.so
they are using. To fix, have libpq officially export functions needed for
encoding name<=>ID conversion and validity checking; it was doing this
anyway unofficially.
It's still the case that we can't renumber backend encoding IDs until the
next bump in libpq's major version number, since doing so will break the
8.2-era client programs. However the code is now prepared to avoid this
type of problem in future.
Note that initdb is no longer a libpq client: we just pull in the two
source files we need directly. The patch also fixes a few places that
were being sloppy about checking for an unrecognized encoding name.
machines about casts between pointers and integers of different sizes.
While they're harmless, we shouldn't expect users to have to go through
and figure that out for themselves.

Helps problem with older versions of OpenSSL that lacks error
stack functions and would show an incorrect error message for

other errors, but file open error is by far the most common one.
