      nbtree page deletion: Add leaftopparent assertion. · 5b2f2af3
      Peter Geoghegan authored 
      Add documenting assertion.  This makes it easier to follow how we
maintain the top parent link in target subtree's half-dead/leaf level
page.

      Fix nbtree page deletion error messages. · 3d8d5787
      Peter Geoghegan authored 
      Adjust some "can't happen" error messages that assumed that the page
deletion target page must be a half-dead page.  This assumption was
wrong in the case of an internal target page.  Simply refer to these
pages as the target page instead.

Internal pages are never marked half-dead.  There is exactly one
half-dead page for each subtree undergoing deletion.  The half-dead page
is also the target subtree's leaf-level page.  This has been the case
since commit efada2b8, which totally overhauled nbtree page deletion.

      Mark default_transaction_read_only as GUC_REPORT. · d16f8c8e
      Tom Lane authored 
      This allows clients to find out the setting at connection time without
having to expend a query round trip to do so; which is helpful when
trying to identify read/write servers.  (One must also look at
in_hot_standby, but that's already GUC_REPORT, cf bf8a662c.)
Modifying libpq to make use of this will come soon, but I felt it
cleaner to push the server change separately.

      On Windows, CMD.EXE allegedly does not run a command that uses forward slashes,
so let's convert the path to use backslashes instead.

      Suppress unnecessary regex subre nodes in a couple more cases. · 4604f83f
      Tom Lane authored 
      This extends the changes made in commit cebc1d34, teaching
parseqatom() to generate fewer or cheaper subre nodes in some edge
cases.  The case of interest here is a quantified atom that is "messy"
only because it has greediness opposite to what preceded it (whereas
captures and backrefs are intrinsically messy).  In this case we don't
need an iteration node, since we don't care where the sub-matches of
the quantifier are; and we might also not need a second concatenation
node.  This seems of only marginal real-world use according to my
testing, but I wanted to get it in before wrapping up this series of
regex performance fixes.

      Improve performance of regular expression back-references. · 0c3405cf
      Tom Lane authored 
      In some cases, at the time that we're doing an NFA-based precheck
of whether a backref subexpression can match at a particular place
in the string, we already know which substring the referenced
subexpression matched.  If so, we might as well forget about the NFA
and just compare the substring; this is faster and it gives an exact
rather than approximate answer.

In general, this optimization can help while we are prechecking within
the second child expression of a concat node, while the capture was
within the first child expression; then the substring was saved during
cdissect() of the first child and will be available to NFA checks done
while cdissect() recurses into the second child.  It can help quite a
lot if the tree looks like

              concat
             /      \
      capture        concat
                    /      \
     expensive stuff        backref

as we will be able to avoid recursively dissecting the "expensive
stuff" before discovering that the backref isn't satisfied with a
particular midpoint that the lower concat node is testing.  This
doesn't help if the concat tree is left-deep, as the capture node
won't get set soon enough (and it's hard to fix that without changing
the engine's match behavior).  Fortunately, right-deep concat trees
are the common case.

      Fix semantics of regular expression back-references. · 4aea704a
      Tom Lane authored 
      POSIX defines the behavior of back-references thus:

    The back-reference expression '\n' shall match the same (possibly
    empty) string of characters as was matched by a subexpression
    enclosed between "\(" and "\)" preceding the '\n'.

As far as I can see, the back-reference is supposed to consider only
the data characters matched by the referenced subexpression.  However,
because our engine copies the NFA constructed from the referenced
subexpression, it effectively enforces any constraints therein, too.
As an example, '(^.)\1' ought to match 'xx', or any other string
starting with two occurrences of the same character; but in our code
it does not, and indeed can't match anything, because the '^' anchor
constraint is included in the backref's copied NFA.  If POSIX intended
that, you'd think they'd mention it.  Perl for one doesn't act that
way, so it's hard to conclude that this isn't a bug.

Fix by modifying the backref's NFA immediately after it's copied from
the reference, replacing all constraint arcs by EMPTY arcs so that the
constraints are treated as automatically satisfied.  This still allows
us to enforce matching rules that depend only on the data characters;
for example, in '(^\d+).*\1' the NFA matching step will still know
that the backref can only match strings of digits.

Perhaps surprisingly, this change does not affect the results of any
of a rather large corpus of real-world regexes.  Nonetheless, I would
not consider back-patching it, since it's a clear compatibility break.
