Previously, we defined pg_pread and pg_pwrite to emulate these function
with lseek() on old Unixen. The names with a pg_ prefix were a reminder
of a portability hazard: they might change the current file position.
That hazard is gone, so we can drop the prefixes.
Since the remaining replacement code is Windows-only, move it into

Given the existing stipulation that path_contains_parent_reference()
must only be invoked on canonicalized paths, we can simplify things
in the wake of commit c10f830c5. It is now only possible to see
".." at the start of a relative path. That means we can simplify
path_contains_parent_reference() itself quite a bit, and it makes
the two existing outside call sites dead code, since they'd already
checked that the path is absolute.
We could now fold path_contains_parent_reference() into its only
remaining caller path_is_relative_and_below_cwd(). But it seems
better to leave it as a separately callable function, in case any

Also document the pre-existing requirement for

Teach canonicalize_path() how to strip all unnecessary uses of "."
and "..", replacing the previous ad-hoc code that got rid of only
some such cases. In particular, we can always remove all such
uses from absolute paths.
The proximate reason to do this is that Windows rejects paths
involving ".." in some cases (in particular, you can't put one in a
symlink), so we ought to be sure we don't use ".." unnecessarily.
Moreover, it seems like good cleanup on general principles.
There is other path-munging code that could be simplified now, but
we'll leave that for followup work.
It is tempting to call this a bug fix and back-patch it. On the other
hand, the misbehavior can only be reached if a highly privileged user
does something dubious, so it's not unreasonable to say "so don't do
that". And this patch could result in unexpected behavioral changes,

The point of this patch is to reduce inclusion spam by not needing
to #include <netdb.h> or <pwd.h> in port.h (which is read by every
compile in our tree). To do that, we must remove port.h's
declarations of pqGetpwuid and pqGethostbyname.
pqGethostbyname is only used, and is only ever likely to be used,
in src/port/getaddrinfo.c --- which isn't even built on most
platforms, making pqGethostbyname dead code for most people.
Hence, deal with that by just moving it into getaddrinfo.c.
To clean up pqGetpwuid, invent a couple of simple wrapper
functions with less-messy APIs. This allows removing some
duplicate error-handling code, too.
In passing, remove thread.c from the MSVC build, since it
contains nothing we use on Windows.

Preferring $HOME allows the user to intentionally point at some

most other utilities. However, we shouldn't rely on it completely,
as $HOME is likely to be unset when running as a daemon.

1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING
and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with
RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new

2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for
stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect,
stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors.
3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the
requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before
pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall
back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is

The emulation of fstat() in win32stat.c caused two issues with the
existing in-core callers, failing on EINVAL when using a stream as
argument:
- psql's \copy would crash when using a stream.
- pg_recvlogical would fail with -f -.
The tests in copyselect.sql from the main test suite covers the first
case, and there is a TAP test for the second case. However, in both
cases, as the standard streams are always redirected, automated tests
did not notice those issues, requiring a terminal on Windows to be
reproducible.
This issue has been introduced in bed9075, and the origin of the problem
is that GetFileInformationByHandle() does not work directly on streams,
so this commit adds an extra code path to emulate and return a set of
stats that match best with the reality. Note that redirected streams
rely on handles that can be queried with GetFileInformationByHandle(),
but we can rely on GetFinalPathNameByHandleA() to detect this case.

Since the only possible divisors are 8, 10, and 16, it doesn't cost
much code space to replace the division loop with three copies using
constant divisors. On most machines, division by a constant can be
done a lot more cheaply than division by an arbitrary value.
A microbenchmark testing just snprintf("foo %d") with a 9-digit value
showed about a 2X speedup for me (tgl). Most of Postgres isn't too

cases is barely measurable. Still, a cycle saved is a cycle earned.

Previously pgwin32_is_service() would falsely return true when postgres is
started from somewhere within a service, but not as a service. That is
e.g. always the case with windows docker containers, which some CI services
use to run windows tests in.
When postgres falsely thinks its running as a service, no messages are
writting to stdout / stderr. That can be very confusing and causes a few tests
to fail.
To fix additionally check if stderr is invalid in pgwin32_is_service(). For
that to work in backend processes, pg_ctl is changed to pass down handles so
that postgres can do the same check (otherwise "default" handles are created).
While this problem exists in all branches, there have been no reports by
users, the prospective CI usage currently is only for master, and I am not a
windows expert. So doing the change in only master for now seems the sanest
approach.

We previously took a hard-line attitude that callers should never print
a null string pointer, and doing so is worthy of an assertion failure
or crash. However, we've long since flushed out any easy-to-find bugs
of that nature. What remains is a lot of code that perhaps could fail
that way in hard-to-reach corner cases. For example, in something as
simple as
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_OBJECT),
errmsg("constraint \"%s\" for table \"%s\" does not exist",
conname, get_rel_name(relid))));
one must wonder whether it's completely guaranteed that get_rel_name
cannot return NULL in this context. If such a situation did occur,
the existing policy converts what might be a pretty minor bug into
a server crash condition. This is not good for robustness.
Hence, let's follow the lead of glibc and print "(null)" instead
of failing. We should, of course, still consider it a bug if that
behavior is reachable in ordinary use; but crashing seems less
desirable than not crashing.
This fix works across-the-board in v12 and up, where we always use
src/port/snprintf.c. Before that, on most platforms we're at the mercy
of the local libc, but it appears that Solaris 10 is the only supported
platform where we'd still get a crash. Most other platforms such as
*BSD, macOS, and Solaris 11 have adopted glibc's behavior at some
point. (AIX and HPUX just print "" not "(null)", but that's close
enough.) I've not checked what Windows' native printf would do, but
it doesn't matter because we've long used snprintf.c on that platform.
In v12 and up, also const-ify related code so that we're not casting
away const on the constant string. This is just neatnik-ism, since
next to no compilers will warn about that.

to paint some __MINGW64__ in the code to switch to a different

if relying on the implementation of stat() in MinGW to take care of the

The code introduced by bed9075 to enhance the stat() implementation on
Windows for file sizes larger than 4GB fails to properly detect files
pending for deletion with its method based on NtQueryInformationFile()
or GetFileInformationByHandleEx(), as proved by Alexander Lakhin in a
custom TAP test of his own.
The method used in the implementation of open() to sleep and loop when
when failing on ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (EACCES) is showing much more
stability, so switch to this method. This could still lead to issues if
the permission problem stays around for much longer than the timeout of
1 second used, but that should (hopefully) never happen in
performance-critical paths. Still, there could be a point in increasing
the timeouts for the sake of machines that handle heavy loads.
Note that WIN32's open() now uses microsoft_native_stat() as it should
be similar to stat() when working around issues with concurrent file
deletions.
I have spent some time testing this patch with pgbench in combination
of the SQL functions from genfile.c, as well as running the TAP test
provided on the thread with MSVC builds, and this looks much more
stable than the previous method.

Modern gcc and clang compilers offer alignment sanitizers, which help to detect

Since at least 2001 we've used putenv() and avoided setenv(), on the
grounds that the latter was unportable and not in POSIX. However,
POSIX added it that same year, and by now the situation has reversed:
setenv() is probably more portable than putenv(), since POSIX now
treats the latter as not being a core function. And setenv() has
cleaner semantics too. So, let's reverse that old policy.
This commit adds a simple src/port/ implementation of setenv() for
any stragglers (we have one in the buildfarm, but I'd not be surprised
if that code is never used in the field). More importantly, extend
win32env.c to also support setenv(). Then, replace usages of putenv()
with setenv(), and get rid of some ad-hoc implementations of setenv()
wannabees.
Also, adjust our src/port/ implementation of unsetenv() to follow the
POSIX spec that it returns an error indicator, rather than returning
void as per the ancient BSD convention. I don't feel a need to make
all the call sites check for errors, but the portability stub ought
to match real-world practice.

Remove the ability to select random number generator independently from
SSL library. Instead, use the random number generator from the SSL
library (today only OpenSSL supported) if one is configured. If no SSL
library is configured, use the platform default (which means use
CryptoAPI on Win32 and /dev/urandom on Linux).
This also restructures pg_strong_random.c to have three clearly separate
sections, one for each implementation, with two functions in each,
instead of a scattered set of ifdefs throughout the whole file.

Currently only OpenSSL requires this initialization, but in the future
other SSL implementations are likely to need it as well. Abstracting
this functionality out into a separate function makes this cleaner and
more clear, and also removes the dependency on OpenSSL headers from
fork_process.c.
OpenSSL is special in that we need to initialize this random number
generator even if we're not going to use it directly, until we drop
support for everything prior to OpenSSL 1.1.1. (And of course also if we
actually use it). All other implementations are left empty at this time,
but more are expected to be added in the future.

Theoretically one could go into src/test/thread and build/run this
program there. In practice, that hasn't worked since 96bf88d52,
and probably much longer on some platforms (likely including just
the sort of hoary leftovers where this test might be of interest).
While it wouldn't be too hard to repair the breakage, the fact that
nobody has noticed for two years shows that there is zero usefulness
in maintaining this build pathway. Let's get rid of it and decree
that thread_test.c is *only* meant to be built/used in configure.
Given that decision, it makes sense to put thread_test.c under config/
and get rid of src/test/thread altogether, so that's what I did.
In passing, update src/test/README, which had been ignored by some
not-so-recent additions of subdirectories.
