Add a location field to the DefElem struct, used to parse many utility commands. Update various error messages to supply error position information. To propogate the error position information in a more systematic way, create a ParseState in standard_ProcessUtility() and pass that to interested functions implementing the utility commands. This seems better than passing the query string and then reassembling a parse state ad hoc, which violates the encapsulation of the ParseState type.

Negative availMemLessRefund would be problematic. It's not entirely clear whether the case can be hit in the code as it stands, but this seems like good future-proofing in any case. While we're at it, insist that the value be not merely positive but not tiny, so as to avoid doing a lot of repalloc work for little gain.

Previously, we failed to recognize Unicode characters above U+7FF as being members of locale-dependent character classes such as [[:alpha:]]. (Actually, the same problem occurs for large pg_wchar values in any multibyte encoding, but UTF8 is the only case people have actually complained about.) It's impractical to get Spencer's original code to handle character classes or ranges containing many thousands of characters, because it insists on considering each member character individually at regex compile time, whether or not the character will ever be of interest at run time. To fix, choose a cutoff point MAX_SIMPLE_CHR below which we process characters individually as before, and deal with entire ranges or classes as single entities above that. We can actually make things cheaper than before for chars below the cutoff, because the color map can now be a simple linear array for those chars, rather than the multilevel tree structure Spencer designed. It's more expensive than before for chars above the cutoff, because we must do a binary search in a list of high chars and char ranges used in the regex pattern, plus call iswalpha() and friends for each locale-dependent character class used in the pattern. However, multibyte encodings are normally designed to give smaller codes to popular characters, so that we can expect that the slow path will be taken relatively infrequently. In any case, the speed penalty appears minor except when we have to apply iswalpha() etc. to high character codes at runtime --- and the previous coding gave wrong answers for those cases, so whether it was faster is moot.

To prevent possibly breaking indexes on enum columns, we must keep uncommitted enum values from getting stored in tables, unless we can be sure that any such column is new in the current transaction. Formerly, we enforced this by disallowing ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE from being executed at all in a transaction block, unless the target enum type had been created in the current transaction. This patch removes that restriction, and instead insists that an uncommitted enum value can't be referenced unless it belongs to an enum type created in the same transaction as the value. Per discussion, this should be a bit less onerous. It does require each function that could possibly return a new enum value to SQL operations to check this restriction, but there aren't so many of those that this seems unmaintainable.

When pg_logical_slot_get_changes(...) sets confirmed_flush_lsn to the point at which replay stopped, it doesn't dirty the replication slot. So if the replay didn't cause restart_lsn or catalog_xmin to change as well, this change will not get written out to disk. Even on a clean shutdown. If Pg crashes or restarts, a subsequent pg_logical_slot_get_changes(...) call will see the same changes already replayed since it uses the slot's confirmed_flush_lsn as the start point for fetching changes. The caller can't specify a start LSN when using the SQL interface. Mark the slot as dirty after reading changes using the SQL interface so that users won't see repeated changes after a clean shutdown. Repeated changes still occur when using the walsender interface or after an unclean shutdown. Craig Ringer

After further reflection about the mess cleaned up in commit 39b691f2, I decided the main bit of test coverage that was still missing was to check that the non-default abbreviation-set files we supply are usable. Add that. Back-patch to supported branches, just because it seems like a good idea to keep this all in sync.

Commit b2cbced9 instituted a policy of referring to the timezone database as the "IANA timezone database" in our user-facing documentation. Propagate that wording into a couple of places that were still using "zic" to refer to the database, which is definitely not right (zic is the compilation tool, not the data). Back-patch, not because this is very important in itself, but because we routinely cherry-pick updates to the tznames files and I don't want to risk future merge failures.

split_to_stringlist() doesn't modify its first argument nor expect it to remain valid after exit, so there's no need to duplicate the optarg string at the call sites. Per Coverity. (This has been wrong all along, but commit 052cc223 changed the useless calls from "strdup" to "pg_strdup", which apparently made Coverity think it's a new bug. It's not, but it's also not worth back-patching.)

Coverity complained about the for(;;) loop, because it never actually iterated. It was used just to be able to use "break" to exit it early. I agree with Coverity, that's a bit confusing, so refactor the code to use if-else instead. While we're at it, use a local variable to hold the "current" node. That's shorter and clearer than referring to "iter->last_visited" all the time.

computeLeafRecompressWALData() tried to produce a uint16 WAL log field by memcpy'ing the first two bytes of an int-sized variable. That accidentally works on little-endian hardware, but not at all on big-endian. Replay then thinks it's looking at an ADDITEMS action with zero entries, and reads the first two bytes of the first TID therein as the next segno/action, typically leading to "unexpected GIN leaf action" errors during replay. Even if replay failed to crash, the resulting GIN index page would surely be incorrect. To fix, just declare the variable as uint16 instead. Per bug #14295 from Spencer Thomason (much thanks to Spencer for turning his problem into a self-contained test case). This likely also explains a previous report of the same symptom from Bernd Helmle. Back-patch to 9.4 where the problem was introduced (by commit 14d02f0b).

Previously, we threw an error if a dynamic timezone abbreviation did not match any abbreviation recorded in the referenced IANA time zone entry. That seemed like a good consistency check at the time, but it turns out that a number of the abbreviations in the IANA database are things that Olson and crew made up out of whole cloth. Their current policy is to remove such names in favor of using simple numeric offsets. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a lot of these made-up abbreviations have varied in meaning over time, which meant that our commit b2cbced9 and later changes made them into dynamic abbreviations. So with newer IANA database versions that don't mention these abbreviations at all, we fail, as reported in bug #14307 from Neil Anderson. It's worse than just a few unused-in-the-wild abbreviations not working, because the pg_timezone_abbrevs view stops working altogether (since its underlying function tries to compute the whole view result in one call). We considered deleting these abbreviations from our abbreviations list, but the problem with that is that we can't stay ahead of possible future IANA changes. Instead, let's leave the abbreviations list alone, and treat any "orphaned" dynamic abbreviation as just meaning the referenced time zone. It will behave a bit differently than it used to, in that you can't any longer override the zone's standard vs. daylight rule by using the "wrong" abbreviation of a pair, but that's better than failing entirely. (Also, this solution can be interpreted as adding a small new feature, which is that any abbreviation a user wants can be defined as referencing a time zone name.) Back-patch to all supported branches, since this problem affects all of them when using tzdata 2016f or newer.

When building libpq, ip.c and md5.c were symlinked or copied from src/backend/libpq into src/interfaces/libpq, but now that we have a directory specifically for routines that are shared between the server and client binaries, src/common/, move them there. Some routines in ip.c were only used in the backend. Keep those in src/backend/libpq, but rename to ifaddr.c to avoid confusion with the file that's now in common. Fix the comment in src/common/Makefile to reflect how libpq actually links those files. There are two more files that libpq symlinks directly from src/backend: encnames.c and wchar.c. I don't feel compelled to move those right now, though. Patch by Michael Paquier, with some changes by me. Discussion: <69938195-9c76-8523-0af8-eb718ea5b36e@iki.fi>

This introduces a numeric sum accumulator, which performs better than repeatedly calling add_var(). The performance comes from using wider digits and delaying carry propagation, tallying positive and negative values separately, and avoiding a round of palloc/pfree on every value. This speeds up SUM(), as well as other standard aggregates like AVG() and STDDEV() that also calculate a sum internally.

A majority of callers seem to have believed that this was the API spec already, because they omitted any check for a NULL result, and hence would crash on an out-of-shared-memory failure. The original proposal was to just add such error checks everywhere, but that does nothing to prevent similar omissions in future. Instead, let's make ShmemAlloc() throw the error (so we can remove the caller-side checks that do exist), and introduce a new function ShmemAllocNoError() that has the previous behavior of returning NULL, for the small number of callers that need that and are prepared to do the right thing. This also lets us remove the rather wishy-washy behavior of printing a WARNING for out-of-shmem, which never made much sense: either the caller has a strategy for dealing with that, or it doesn't. It's not ShmemAlloc's business to decide whether a warning is appropriate. The v10 release notes will need to call this out as a significant source-code change. It's likely that it will be a bug fix for extension callers too, but if not, they'll need to change to using ShmemAllocNoError(). This is nominally a bug fix, but the odds that it's fixing any live bug are actually rather small, because in general the requests being made by the unchecked callers were already accounted for in determining the overall shmem size, so really they ought not fail. Between that and the possible impact on extensions, no back-patch. Discussion: <24843.1472563085@sss.pgh.pa.us>

Unlike PL/Tcl, PL/Perl at least made an attempt to clean up after itself when a function gets redefined. But it was still using TopMemoryContext for the fn_mcxt of argument/result I/O functions, resulting in the potential for memory leaks depending on what those functions did, and the retail alloc/free logic was pretty bulky as well. Fix things to use a per-function memory context like the other PLs now do. Tweak a couple of places where things were being done in a not-very-safe order (on the principle that a memory leak is better than leaving global state inconsistent after an error). Also make some minor cosmetic adjustments, mostly in field names, to make the code look similar to the way PL/Tcl does now wherever it's essentially the same logic.

Formerly, the memory used to represent a PL/Tcl function was allocated with malloc() or in TopMemoryContext, and we'd leak it all if the function got redefined during the session. Instead, create a per-function context and keep everything in or under that context. Add a reference-counting mechanism (like the one plpgsql has long had) so that we can safely clean up an old function definition, either immediately if it's not being executed or at the end of the outermost execution. Currently, we only detect that a cached function is obsolete when we next attempt to call that function. So this covers the updated-definition case but leaves cruft around after DROP FUNCTION. It's not clear whether it's worth installing a syscache invalidation callback to watch for drops; none of the other PLs do, so for now we won't do it here either.

The hack embodied in commit 4ba61a48 no longer works after today's change to allow DatumGetFloat4/Float4GetDatum to be inlined (commit 14cca1bf). Probably what's happening is that the faulty compilers are deciding that the now-inlined assignment is a no-op and so they're not required to round to float4 width. We had a bunch of similar issues earlier this year in the degree-based trig functions, and eventually settled on using volatile intermediate variables as the least ugly method of forcing recalcitrant compilers to do what the C standard says (cf commit 82311bcd). Let's see if that method works here. Discussion: <4640.1472664476@sss.pgh.pa.us>

Now that we are OK with using static inline functions, we can use them to avoid function call overhead of pass-by-val versions of Float4GetDatum, DatumGetFloat8, and Float8GetDatum. Those functions are only a few CPU instructions long, but they could not be written into macros previously, because we need a local union variable for the conversion. I kept the pass-by-ref versions as regular functions. They are very simple too, but they call palloc() anyway, so shaving a few instructions from the function call doesn't seem so important there.

This can't really work because standby_mode expects there to be more WAL arriving, which there will not ever be because there's no WAL receiver process to fetch it. Moreover, if standby_mode is on then hot standby might also be turned on, causing even more strangeness because that expects read-only sessions to be executing in parallel. Bernd Helmle reported a case where btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid got confused, but rather than band-aiding individual problems it seems best to prevent getting anywhere near this state in the first place. Back-patch to all supported branches. In passing, also fix some omissions of errcodes in other ereport's in readRecoveryCommandFile().

Where possible, use palloc or pg_malloc instead; otherwise, insert explicit NULL checks. Generally speaking, these are places where an actual OOM is quite unlikely, either because they're in client programs that don't allocate all that much, or they're very early in process startup so that we'd likely have had a fork() failure instead. Hence, no back-patch, even though this is nominally a bug fix. Michael Paquier, with some adjustments by me Discussion: <CAB7nPqRu07Ot6iht9i9KRfYLpDaF2ZuUv5y_+72uP23ZAGysRg@mail.gmail.com>
