As per my recent proposal, this refactors things so that these typedefs and
macros are available in a header that can be included in frontend-ish code.
I also changed various headers that were undesirably including
utils/timestamp.h to include datatype/timestamp.h instead. Unsurprisingly,
this showed that half the system was getting utils/timestamp.h by way of
xlog.h.
No actual code changes here, just header refactoring.
walsender.h should depend on xlog.h, not vice versa. (Actually, the
inclusion was circular until a couple hours ago, which was even sillier;
but Bruce broke it in the expedient rather than logically correct
direction.) Because of that poor decision, plus blind application of
pgrminclude, we had a situation where half the system was depending on
xlog.h to include such unrelated stuff as array.h and guc.h. Clean up
the header inclusion, and manually revert a lot of what pgrminclude had
done so things build again.
This episode reinforces my feeling that pgrminclude should not be run
without adult supervision. Inclusion changes in header files in particular
need to be reviewed with great care. More generally, it'd be good if we
had a clearer notion of module layering to dictate which headers can sanely
include which others ... but that's a big task for another day.
Don't test whether the number of labels is numerically equal to zero;
count(*) isn't going return zero anyway, and the current coding blows
up if it returns an empty string or an error.
There's no reason for this test to use the undocumented pg_prepared_xact()
function, when it can use the stable API pg_prepared_xacts instead.
Fixes breakage against 8.3, as reported by Justin Arnold.
For an empty index, the pgstatindex() function would compute 0.0/0.0 for
its avg_leaf_density and leaf_fragmentation outputs. On machines that
follow the IEEE float arithmetic standard with any care, that results in
a NaN. However, per report from Rushabh Lathia, Microsoft couldn't
manage to get this right, so you'd get a bizarre error on Windows.
Fix by forcing the results to be NaN explicitly, rather than relying on
the division operator to give that or the snprintf function to print it
correctly. I have some doubts that this is really the most useful
definition, but it seems better to remain backward-compatible with
those platforms for which the behavior wasn't completely broken.
Back-patch to 8.2, since the code is like that in all current releases.
The previous coding resulted in contrib modules unintentionally overriding
the use of CONTRIB_TESTDB. There seems no particularly good reason to
allow that (after all, the makefile can set CONTRIB_TESTDB if that's really
what it intends).
In passing, document REGRESS_OPTS where the other pgxs.mk options are
documented.
Back-patch to 9.1 --- in prior versions, there were no cases of contrib
modules setting REGRESS_OPTS without including the --dbname switch, so
while the coding was fragile there was no actual bug.
We'll have to settle for just listing the extensions' data types,
since function arguments seem to sort differently in different locales.
Per buildfarm results.
When we implemented extensions, we made findDependentObjects() treat
EXTENSION dependency links similarly to INTERNAL links. However, that
logic contained an implicit assumption that an object could have at most
one INTERNAL dependency, so it did not work correctly for objects having
both INTERNAL and DEPENDENCY links. This led to failure to drop some
extension member objects when dropping the extension. Furthermore, we'd
never actually exercised the case of recursing to an internally-referenced
(owning) object from anything other than a NORMAL dependency, and it turns
out that passing the incoming dependency's flags to the owning object is
the Wrong Thing. This led to sometimes dropping a whole extension silently
when we should have rejected the drop command for lack of CASCADE.
Since we obviously were under-testing extension drop scenarios, add some
regression test cases. Unfortunately, such test cases require some
extensions (duh), so we can't test for problems in the core regression
tests. I chose to add them to the earthdistance contrib module, which is
a good test case because it has a dependency on the cube contrib module.
Back-patch to 9.1. Arguably these are pre-existing bugs in INTERNAL
dependency handling, but since it appears that the cases can never arise
pre-9.1, I'll refrain from back-patching the logic changes further than
that.
Eliminate dependencies on "which", as we don't really need that to be
installed for proper testing. Don't number the tests, as that increases
the footprint of every patch that wants to add or remove tests. Make
the test output more informative, so that it's a bit easier to see what
went right (or wrong). Spelling and grammar improvements.
contrib/xml2 can get by without libxslt; the relevant features just
won't work. But if doesn't have libxml2, or if sepgsql doesn't have
libselinux, the link succeeds but the module then fails to work at load
time. To avoid that, link the require libraries unconditionally, so
that it will be clear at link-time that there is a problem.
Per discussion with Tom Lane and KaiGai Kohei.
Also, handle failure better: don't just blindly keep trying to delete
stuff after the transaction has already failed.
Tim Lewis, reviewed by Josh Kupershmidt, with further hacking by me.
The old check against MAX_RANDOM_VALUE is clearly irrelevant since
getrand() no longer calls random(). Instead, check whether min and max
are close enough together to avoid an overflow inside getrand(), as
suggested by Tom Lane. This is still somewhat silly, because we're
using atoi(), which doesn't check for overflow anyway and (at least on
my system) will cheerfully return 0 when given "4294967296". But that's
a problem for another commit.
glibc renders random() thread-safe by wrapping a futex lock around it;
testing reveals that this limits the performance of pgbench on machines
with many CPU cores. Rather than switching to random_r(), which is
only available on GNU systems and crashes unless you use undocumented
alchemy to initialize the random state properly, switch to our built-in
implementation of erand48(), which is both thread-safe and concurrent.
Since the list of reasons not to use the operating system's erand48()
is getting rather long, rename ours to pg_erand48() (and similarly
for our implementations of lrand48() and srand48()) and just always
use those. We were already doing this on Cygwin anyway, and the
glibc implementation is not quite thread-safe, so pgbench wouldn't
be able to use that either.
Per discussion with Tom Lane.
libxml reports some errors (like invalid xmlns attributes) via the error
handler hook, but still returns a success indicator to the library caller.
This causes us to miss some errors that are important to report. Since the
"generic" error handler hook doesn't know whether the message it's getting
is for an error, warning, or notice, stop using that and instead start
using the "structured" error handler hook, which gets enough information
to be useful.
While at it, arrange to save and restore the error handler hook setting in
each libxml-using function, rather than assuming we can set and forget the
hook. This should improve the odds of working nicely with third-party
libraries that also use libxml.
In passing, volatile-ize some local variables that get modified within
PG_TRY blocks. I noticed this while testing with an older gcc version
than I'd previously tried to compile xml.c with.

There may be some other places where we should use errdetail_internal,
but they'll have to be evaluated case-by-case. This commit just hits
a bunch of places where invoking gettext is obviously a waste of cycles.
Add errno-based output to error messages where appropriate, reformat
blocks to about 72 characters per line, use spaces instead of tabs for
indentation, and other style adjustments.
This was already a runtime failure condition, but it's better to check
at validation time if possible. Lightly modified version of a patch
by Shigeru Hanada.
Certain subdirectories do not get built if corresponding options are not
selected at configure time. However, "make distprep" should visit such
directories anyway, so that constructing derived files to be included in
the tarball happens without requiring all configure options to be given
in the tarball build script. Likewise, it's better if cleanup actions
unconditionally visit all directories (for example, this ensures proper
cleanup if someone has done a manual make in such a subdirectory).
To handle this, set up a convention that subdirectories that are
conditionally included in SUBDIRS should be added to ALWAYS_SUBDIRS
instead when they are excluded.
Back-patch to 9.1, so that plpython's spiexceptions.h will get provided
in 9.1 tarballs. There don't appear to be any instances where distprep
actions got missed in previous releases, and anyway this fix requires
gmake 3.80 so we don't want to apply it before 9.1.
