Coverity complained that simple8b_encode() might read beyond the end of the 'diffs' array, in the loop to encode the integers. That was a false positive, because we never get into the loop in modes 0 or 1, and the array is large enough for all the other modes. But I admit it's very subtle, so it's not surprising that Coverity didn't see it, and it's not very obvious to humans either. Refactor it, so that the second loop re-computes the differences, instead of carrying them over from the first loop in the 'diffs' array. This way, the 'diffs' array is not needed anymore. It makes no measurable difference in performance, and seems more straightforward this way. Also, improve the comments in simple8b_encode(): fix the comment about its return value that was flat-out wrong, and explain the condition when it returns EMPTY_CODEWORD better. In the passing, move the 'selector' from the codeword's low bits to the high bits. It doesn't matter much, but looking at the original paper, and googling around for other Simple-8b implementations, that's how it's usually done. Per Coverity, and Tom Lane's report off-list. |

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. authentication/ Tests for authentication 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 subscription/ Tests for logical replication thread/ A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
