This attempts to buy back some of whatever performance we lost from fixing
bug #14174 by inlining the initial checks in MakeExpandedObjectReadOnly()
into the callers. We can do that in a macro without creating multiple-
evaluation hazards, so it's pretty much free notationally; and the amount
of code added to callers should be minimal as well. (Testing a value can't
take many more instructions than passing it to a subroutine.)
Might as well inline DatumIsReadWriteExpandedObject() while we're at it.
This is an ABI break for callers, so it doesn't seem safe to put into 9.5,
but I see no reason not to do it in HEAD.
Mostly these are just comments but there are a few in documentation
and a handful in code and tests. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much
unnecessary pain for backpatching. I relented from some of the most
common like "thru" for that reason. The rest don't seem numerous
enough to cause problems.

subquery_planner() failed to apply expression preprocessing to the
arbiterElems and arbiterWhere fields of an OnConflictExpr. No doubt the
theory was that this wasn't necessary because we don't actually try to
execute those expressions; but that's wrong, because it results in failure
to match to index expressions or index predicates that are changed at all
by preprocessing. Per bug #14132 from Reynold Smith.
Also add pullup_replace_vars processing for onConflictWhere. Perhaps
it's impossible to have a subquery reference there, but I'm not exactly
convinced; and even if true today it's a failure waiting to happen.
Also add some comments to other places where one or another field of
OnConflictExpr is intentionally ignored, with explanation as to why it's
okay to do so.
Also, catalog/dependency.c failed to record any dependency on the named
constraint in ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT, allowing such a constraint to
be dropped while rules exist that depend on it, and allowing pg_dump to
dump such a rule before the constraint it refers to. The normal execution
path managed to error out reasonably for a dangling constraint reference,
but ruleutils.c dumped core; so in addition to fixing the omission, add
a protective check in ruleutils.c, since we can't retroactively add a
dependency in existing databases.
Back-patch to 9.5 where this code was introduced.

to_timestamp() handles the TH/th format codes by advancing over two input
characters, whatever those are. It failed to notice whether there were
two characters available to be skipped, making it possible to advance
the pointer past the end of the input string and keep on parsing.
A similar risk existed in the handling of "Y,YYY" format: it would advance
over three characters after the "," whether or not three characters were
available.
In principle this might be exploitable to disclose contents of server
memory. But the security team concluded that it would be very hard to use
that way, because the parsing loop would stop upon hitting any zero byte,
and TH/th format codes can't be consecutive --- they have to follow some
other format code, which would have to match whatever data is there.
So it seems impractical to examine memory very much beyond the end of the
input string via this bug; and the input string will always be in local
memory not in disk buffers, making it unlikely that anything very
interesting is close to it in a predictable way. So this doesn't quite
rise to the level of needing a CVE.
Thanks to Wolf Roediger for reporting this bug.

Commit 7d9a4737c2 greatly improved the
accuracy of the numeric transcendental functions, however it failed to
consider the case where the result from pow() is close to the overflow
threshold, for example 0.12 ^ -2345.6. For such inputs, where the
result has more than 2000 digits before the decimal point, the decimal
result weight estimate was being clamped to 2000, leading to a loss of
precision in the final calculation.
Fix this by replacing the clamping code with an overflow test that
aborts the calculation early if the final result is sure to overflow,
based on the overflow limit in exp_var(). This provides the same
protection against integer overflow in the subsequent result scale
computation as the original clamping code, but it also ensures that
precision is never lost and saves compute cycles in cases that are
sure to overflow.
The new early overflow test works with the initial low-precision
result (expected to be accurate to around 8 significant digits) and
includes a small fuzz factor to ensure that it doesn't kick in for
values that would not overflow exp_var(), so the overall overflow
threshold of pow() is unchanged and consistent for all inputs with
non-integer exponents.

Patch by me, reviewed by David Rowley.
The true explanation for Peter Eisentraut's report of inexact asind results
seems to be that (a) he's compiling into x87 instruction set, which uses
wider-than-double float registers, plus (b) the library function asin() on
his platform returns a result that is wider than double and is not rounded
to double width. To fix, we have to force the function's result to be
rounded comparably to what happened to the scaling constant asin_0_5.
Experimentation suggests that storing it into a volatile local variable is
the least ugly way of making that happen. Although only asin() is known to
exhibit an observable inexact result, we'd better do this in all the places
where we're hoping to get an exact result by scaling.
Commit 65abaab547 tried to prevent the scaling constants used in
the degree-based trig functions from being precomputed at compile time,
because some compilers do that with functions that don't yield results
identical-to-the-last-bit to what you get at runtime. A report from
Peter Eisentraut suggests that some recent compilers are smart enough
to see through that trick, though. Instead, let's put the inputs to
these calculations into non-const global variables, which should be a
more reliable way of convincing the compiler that it can't assume that
they are compile-time constants. (If we really get desperate, we could
mark these variables "volatile", but I do not believe we should have to.)

When we shoehorned "x op ANY (array)" into the SQL syntax, we created a
fundamental ambiguity as to the proper treatment of a sub-SELECT on the
righthand side: perhaps what's meant is to compare x against each row of
the sub-SELECT's result, or perhaps the sub-SELECT is meant as a scalar
sub-SELECT that delivers a single array value whose members should be
compared against x. The grammar resolves it as the former case whenever
the RHS is a select_with_parens, making the latter case hard to reach ---
but you can get at it, with tricks such as attaching a no-op cast to the
sub-SELECT. Parse analysis would throw away the no-op cast, leaving a
parsetree with an EXPR_SUBLINK SubLink directly under a ScalarArrayOpExpr.
ruleutils.c was not clued in on this fine point, and would naively emit
"x op ANY ((SELECT ...))", which would be parsed as the first alternative,
typically leading to errors like "operator does not exist: text = text[]"
during dump/reload of a view or rule containing such a construct. To fix,
emit a no-op cast when dumping such a parsetree. This might well be
exactly what the user wrote to get the construct accepted in the first
place; and even if she got there with some other dodge, it is a valid
representation of the parsetree.

When adjusting the estimate for the number of distinct values from a
rel in a grouped query to take into account the selectivity of the
rel's restrictions, use a formula that is less likely to produce
under-estimates.
The old formula simply multiplied the number of distinct values in the
rel by the restriction selectivity, which would be correct if the
restrictions were fully correlated with the grouping expressions, but
can produce significant under-estimates in cases where they are not
well correlated.
The new formula is based on the random selection probability, and so
assumes that the restrictions are not correlated with the grouping
expressions. This is guaranteed to produce larger estimates, and of
course risks over-estimating in cases where the restrictions are
correlated, but that has less severe consequences than
under-estimating, which might lead to a HashAgg that consumes an
excessive amount of memory.
This could possibly be improved upon in the future by identifying
correlated restrictions and using a hybrid of the old and new
formulae.

Formerly, the geometric I/O routines such as box_in and point_out relied
directly on strtod() and sprintf() for conversion of the float8 component
values of their data types. However, the behavior of those functions is
pretty platform-dependent, especially for edge-case values such as
infinities and NaNs. This was exposed by commit acdf2a8b37, which
added test cases involving boxes with infinity endpoints, and immediately
failed on Windows and AIX buildfarm members. We solved these problems
years ago in the main float8in and float8out functions, so let's fix it
by making the geometric types use that code instead of depending directly
on the platform-supplied functions.
To do this, refactor the float8in code so that it can be used to parse
just part of a string, and as a convenience make the guts of float8out
usable without going through DirectFunctionCall.
While at it, get rid of geo_ops.c's fairly shaky assumptions about the
maximum output string length for a double, by having it build results in
StringInfo buffers instead of fixed-length strings.
In passing, convert all the "invalid input syntax for type foo" messages
in this area of the code into "invalid input syntax for type %s" to reduce
the number of distinct translatable strings, per recent discussion.
We would have needed a fair number of the latter anyway for code-sharing
reasons, so we might as well just go whole hog.
Note: this patch is by no means intended to guarantee that the geometric
types uniformly behave sanely for infinity or NaN component values.
But any bugs we have in that line were there all along, they were just
harder to reach in a platform-independent way.
My compiler doesn't like the lack of initialization of "flag", and
I think it's right: if there were zero keys we'd have an undefined
result. The AND of zero items is TRUE, so initialize to TRUE.
Patch implements quad-tree over boxes, naive approach of 2D quad tree will not
work for any non-point objects because splitting space on node is not
efficient. The idea of pathc is treating 2D boxes as 4D points, so,
object will not overlap (in 4D space).
The performance tests reveal that this technique especially beneficial
with too much overlapping objects, so called "spaghetti data".

interval_mul() attempts to prevent its calculations from producing silly
results, but it forgot that zero times infinity yields NaN in IEEE
arithmetic. Hence, a case like '1 second'::interval * 'infinity'::float8
produced a NaN for the months product, which didn't trigger the range
check, resulting in bogus and possibly platform-dependent output.
This isn't terribly obvious to the naked eye because if you try that
exact case, you get "interval out of range" which is what you expect
--- but if you look closer, the error is coming from interval_out not
interval_mul. interval_mul has allowed a bogus value into the system.
Fix by adding isnan tests.
Noted while testing Vitaly Burovoy's fix for infinity input to
to_timestamp(). Given the lack of field complaints, I doubt this
is worth a back-patch.
With the original SQL-function implementation, such cases failed because
we don't support infinite intervals. Converting the function to C lets
us bypass the interval representation, which should be a bit faster as

If the referenced rel was proven empty, we'd compute 0/0 here, which

This avoids a possible divide-by-zero in the following calculation,
and rounding the number to an integer seems like saner behavior anyway.
Assuming IEEE math, the division would yield +Infinity which would get
replaced by 1.0 at the bottom of the function, so nothing really
interesting would ensue; but avoiding divide-by-zero seems like a
good idea on general principles.

This enables external code to create access methods. This is useful so

Unfortunately, every version of glibc thus far tested has bugs whereby
strcoll() ordering does not match strxfrm() ordering as required by

Disabling abbreviated keys in these cases slows down non-C-collation
string sorting considerably, but there seems to be no practical
alternative. Users who are confident that their libc implementations
are solid in this regard can re-enable the optimization by compiling

Somebody had apparently once figured that casting to unsigned int would
produce the right output for negative inputs, but that would only be
true if 2^32 were a multiple of 7, which of course it ain't. We need
to use a signed division and then correct the sign of the remainder.
AFAICT, the only case where this would arise currently is when doing
ISO-week calculations for dates in 4714BC, where we'd compute a
negative Julian date representing 4714-01-04BC and then do some
arithmetic with it. Since we don't even really document support for
such dates, this is not of much consequence. But we may as well
get it right.
Per report from Vitaly Burovoy.
Tighten the semantics of boundary-case timestamptz so that we allow
timestamps >= '4714-11-24 00:00+00 BC' and < 'ENDYEAR-01-01 00:00+00 AD'
exactly, no more and no less, but it is allowed to enter timestamps
within that range using non-GMT timezone offsets (which could make the
nominal date 4714-11-23 BC or ENDYEAR-01-01 AD). This eliminates
dump/reload failure conditions for timestamps near the endpoints.
To do this, separate checking of the inputs for date2j() from the
final range check, and allow the Julian date code to handle a range
slightly wider than the nominal range of the datatypes.
Also add a bunch of checks to detect out-of-range dates and timestamps
that formerly could be returned by operations such as date-plus-integer.
All C-level functions that return date, timestamp, or timestamptz should
now be proof against returning a value that doesn't pass IS_VALID_DATE()
or IS_VALID_TIMESTAMP().

others "long".
I also removed PortalData's posOverflow field, since that logic seems
pretty useless given that portalPos is now always 64 bits.
The user-visible results are that command tags for SELECT etc will
correctly report tuple counts larger than 4G, as will plpgsql's GET

than that are still not exactly the norm, but they're becoming more
common.
Most values associated with FETCH/MOVE distances, such as PortalRun's count
argument and the count argument of most SPI functions that have one, remain
declared as "long". It's not clear whether it would be worth promoting
those to int64; but it would definitely be a large dollop of additional
API churn on top of this, and it would only help 32-bit platforms which
seem relatively less likely to see any benefit.

All along, this function should have treated WindowFuncs in a manner
similar to Aggrefs, ie with an option whether or not to recurse into them.
By not considering the case, it was always recursing, which is OK for most
callers (although I suspect that the case in prepare_sort_from_pathkeys
might represent a bug). But now we need return-without-recursing behavior
as well. There are also more than a few callers that should never see a

In commit 1d97c19a0f and later c1d9579dd8, we extended
pull_var_clause's API by adding enum-type arguments. That's sort of a pain
to maintain, though, because it means every time we add a new behavior we
must touch every last one of the call sites, even if there's a reasonable
default behavior that most of them could use. Let's switch over to using a
bitmask of flags, instead; that seems more maintainable and might save a
nanosecond or two as well. This commit changes no behavior in itself,
though I'm going to follow it up with one that does add a new behavior.
In passing, remove flatten_tlist(), which has not been used since 9.1

Removing these enums means that optimizer/tlist.h no longer needs to

As a demonstration, this adds very crude reporting to lazy vacuum; we

a 4-way join; but ugh.)
The new function has the following behaviors that are painful or impossible
to get right via pg_locks:
1. Correctly understands which lock modes block which other ones.
2. In soft-block situations (two processes both waiting for conflicting lock
modes), only the one that's in front in the wait queue is reported to
block the other.
3. In parallel-query cases, reports all sessions blocking any member of
the given PID's lock group, and reports a session by naming its leader
process's PID, which will be the pg_backend_pid() value visible to
clients.
The motivation for doing this right now is mostly to fix the isolation
tests. Commit 38f8bdcac4 lobotomized
isolationtester's is-it-waiting query by removing its ability to recognize
nonconflicting lock modes, as a crude workaround for the inability to
handle soft-block situations properly. But even without the lock mode
tests, the old query was excessively slow, particularly in
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds; some of our buildfarm animals fail the new
deadlock-hard test because the deadlock timeout elapses before they can
probe the waiting status of all eight sessions. Replacing the pg_locks
self-join with use of pg_blocking_pids() is not only much more correct, but
a lot faster: I measure it at about 9X faster in a typical dev build with
Asserts, and 3X faster in CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds. That should provide
enough headroom for the slower CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS animals to pass the
test, without having to lengthen deadlock_timeout yet more and thus slow
down the test for everyone else.
Some over-eager copy-and-pasting on my part resulted in a nonsense
result being returned in this case. I have adopted the same pattern for
handling this case as is used in the one argument form of the function,
i.e. we just skip over the code that adds values to the object.
Diagnosis and patch from Michael Paquier, although not quite his
solution.
Fixes bug #13936.
Backpatch to 9.5 where jsonb_object was introduced.
Commit 53874c5228 broke various 32-bit
buildfarm machines because it incorrectly used an 'L' suffix for what
needed to be a 64-bit literal. Thanks to Michael Paquier for helping
to diagnose this.
This will parse strings in the format produced by pg_size_pretty() and
return sizes in bytes. This allows queries to be written with clauses
like "pg_total_relation_size(oid) > pg_size_bytes('10 GB')".

When processing ordered aggregates following a sort that could make use
of the abbreviated key optimization, only call the equality operator to
compare successive pairs of tuples when their abbreviated keys were not
equal.

Since pgindent treats typedef names as global, the original coding of
b47b4dbf68 would have had rather nasty effects on the formatting
of other files in which "string" is used as a variable or field name.
Use a less generic name for this typedef, and rename some other
identifiers to match.

The parser doesn't allow qualification of column names appearing in
these clauses, but ruleutils.c would sometimes qualify them, leading
to dump/reload failures. Per bug #13891 from Onder Kalaci.
(In passing, make stanzas in ruleutils.c that save/restore varprefix
more consistent.)

It seems that sprintf(), at least in glibc's version, is unreasonably slow
compared to hand-rolled code for printing integers. Replacing most uses of
sprintf() in the datetime.c output functions with special-purpose code
turns out to give more than a 2X speedup in COPY of a table with a single
timestamp column; which is pretty impressive considering all the other
logic in that code path.

An example use-case is "CHECK(num_nonnulls(a,b,c) = 1)" to assert that
exactly one of a,b,c isn't NULL. The functions are variadic, so they
can also be pressed into service to count the number of null or nonnull
elements in an array.

Have varlena.c expose an interface that allows the char(n), bytea, and
bpchar types to piggyback on a now-generalized SortSupport for text.
This pushes a little more knowledge of the bpchar/char(n) type into
varlena.c than might be preferred, but that seems like the approach
that creates least friction. Also speed things up for index builds
that use text_pattern_ops or varchar_pattern_ops.
This patch does quite a bit of renaming, but it seems likely to be
worth it, so as to avoid future confusion about the fact that this code
is now more generally used than the old names might have suggested.

Commit e09996ff8d was one brick shy of a load: it didn't insist
that the detected JSON number be the whole of the supplied string.
This allowed inputs such as "2016-01-01" to be misdetected as valid JSON
numbers. Per bug #13906 from Dmitry Ryabov.
In passing, be more wary of zero-length input (I'm not sure this can
happen given current callers, but better safe than sorry), and do some
minor cosmetic cleanup.
Buildfarm member cockatiel is still saying that cosd(60) isn't 0.5.
What seems likely is that the subexpression (1.0 - cos(x)) isn't being
rounded to double width before more arithmetic is done on it, so force
that by storing it into a variable.
The last round didn't do it. Per Noah Misch, the problem on at least
some machines is that the compiler pre-evaluates trig functions having
constant arguments using code slightly different from what will be used
at runtime. Therefore, we must prevent the compiler from seeing constant
arguments to any of the libm trig functions used in this code.
The method used here might still fail if init_degree_constants() gets
inlined into the call sites. That probably won't happen given the large
number of call sites; but if it does, we could probably fix it by making
init_degree_constants() non-static. I'll avoid that till proven
necessary, though.
The buildfarm isn't very happy with the results of commit e1bd684a34.
To try to get the expected exact results everywhere:
* Replace M_PI / 180 subexpressions with a precomputed constant, so that
the compiler can't decide to rearrange that division with an adjacent
operation. Hopefully this will fix failures to get exactly 0.5 from
sind(30) and cosd(60).
* Add scaling to ensure that tand(45) and cotd(45) give exactly 1; there
was nothing particularly guaranteeing that before.
* Replace minus zero by zero when tand() or cotd() would output that;
many machines did so for tand(180) and cotd(270), but not all. We could
alternatively deem both results valid, but that doesn't seem likely to
be what users will want.
The implementations go to some lengths to deliver exact results for values
where an exact result can be expected, such as sind(30) = 0.5 exactly.

Ensure that the trig functions return NaN for NaN input regardless of what
the underlying C library functions might do. Also ensure that an error
is thrown for Inf (or otherwise out-of-range) input, except for atan/atan2
which should accept it.
All these behaviors should now conform to the POSIX spec; previously, all
our popular platforms deviated from that in one case or another.
The main remaining platform dependency here is whether the C library might
choose to throw a domain error for sin/cos/tan inputs that are large but
less than infinity. (Doing so is not unreasonable, since once a single
unit-in-the-last-place exceeds PI, there can be no significance at all in
the result; however there doesn't seem to be any suggestion in POSIX that
such an error is allowed.) We will report such errors if they are reported
via "errno", but not if they are reported via "fetestexcept" which is the
other mechanism sanctioned by POSIX. Some preliminary experiments with
fetestexcept indicated that it might also report errors we could do
without, such as complaining about underflow at an unreasonably large
threshold. So let's skip that complexity for now.

Commit e529cd4ffa introduced an Assert requiring NAMEDATALEN to be
less than MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN, which has been 255 for a long time.
Since up to that instant we had always allowed NAMEDATALEN to be
substantially more than that, this was ill-advised.
It's debatable whether we need MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN at all (versus
putting a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the loop), or whether it has to be
so tight; but this patch takes the narrower approach of just not applying
the MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN limit to calls from the parser.
Trusting the parser for this seems reasonable, first because the strings
are limited to NAMEDATALEN which is unlikely to be hugely more than 256,
and second because the maximum distance is tightly constrained by
MAX_FUZZY_DISTANCE (though we'd forgotten to make use of that limit in one
place). That means the cost is not really O(mn) but more like O(max(m,n)).
Relaxing the limit for user-supplied calls is left for future research;
given the lack of complaints to date, it doesn't seem very high priority.
In passing, fix confusion between lengths-in-bytes and lengths-in-chars
in comments and error messages.
Per gripe from Kevin Day; solution suggested by Robert Haas. Back-patch
to 9.5 where the unwanted restriction was introduced.
Historically, extract() just returned zero for any case involving an
infinite timestamp[tz] input; even cases in which the unit name was
invalid. This is not very sensible. Instead, return infinity or
-infinity as appropriate when the requested field is one that is
monotonically increasing (e.g, year, epoch), or NULL when it is not
(e.g., day, hour). Also, throw the expected errors for bad unit names.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE
Vitaly Burovoy, reviewed by Vik Fearing
This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler
function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided
in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to
the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There
are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions
are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less
error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures.
For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access
methods in installable extensions.
A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes
of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity
regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that
by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead.
(Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the
amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.)
We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but
this patch doesn't do that.
Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Petr Jelínek, and rather heavily
editorialized on by me.
This loop uselessly fetched the argument after the one it's currently
looking at. No real harm is done since we couldn't possibly fetch off
the end of memory, but it's confusing to the reader.
Also remove a duplicate (and therefore confusing) PG_ARGISNULL check in
jsonb_build_object.
I happened to notice these things while trolling for missed null-arg
checks earlier today. Back-patch to 9.5, not because there is any
real bug, but just because 9.5 and HEAD are still in sync in this
file and we might as well keep them so.
In passing, re-pgindent.
Using cstring as the input type was a poor decision, because that's not
really a full-fledged type. In particular, it lacks implicit coercions
from text or varchar, meaning that usages like to_regproc('foo'||'bar')
wouldn't work; basically the only case that did work without explicit
casting was a simple literal constant argument.
The lack of field complaints about this suggests that hardly anyone
is using these functions, so hopefully fixing it won't cause much of
a compatibility problem. They've only been there since 9.4, anyway.
Petr Korobeinikov
Aside from any consistency arguments, this is logically necessary because
the I/O functions for these types also handle numeric OID values. Without
a quoting rule it is impossible to distinguish numeric OIDs from role or
namespace names that happen to contain only digits.
Also change the to_regrole and to_regnamespace functions to dequote their
arguments. While not logically essential, this seems like a good idea
since the other to_reg* functions do it. Anyone who really wants raw
lookup of an uninterpreted name can fall back on the time-honored solution
of (SELECT oid FROM pg_namespace WHERE nspname = whatever).
Report and patch by Jim Nasby, reviewed by Michael Paquier
The CHECK_IS_BINARY_UPGRADE macro is not sufficient security protection
if we're going to dereference pass-by-reference arguments before it.
But in any case we really need to explicitly check PG_ARGISNULL for all
the arguments of a non-strict function, not only the ones we expect null
values for.
