In the test_slot_timelines test module, we were abusing passing NULL values which was received as zeroes in x86, but this breaks in ARM (buildfarm member hamster) by crashing instead. Fix the breakage by marking these functions as STRICT; the InvalidXid value that was previously implicit in NULL values (on x86 at least) can now be passed as 0. Failing to follow the fmgr protocol to check for NULLs beforehand was causing ARM to fail, as evidenced by segmentation faults in buildfarm member hamster. In order to use the new functionality in the test script, use COALESCE in the right spot to avoid forwarding NULL values. This was diagnosed from the hamster crash by Craig Ringer, who also proposed a different patch (checking for NULL values explicitely in the C function code, and keeping the non-strictness in the C functions). I decided to go with this approach instead. |

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see which tests get run automatically. examples/ Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via "make check" isolation/ Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level locale/ Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc mb/ Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support modules/ Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable for installing in production databases perl/ Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests recovery/ Test suite for recovery and replication regress/ PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress ssl/ Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling thread/ A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
