2014-12-22Move rbtree.c from src/backend/utils/misc to src/backend/lib.Heikki Linnakangas
We have other general-purpose data structures in src/backend/lib, so it seems like a better home for the red-black tree as well.
2014-12-22Use a pairing heap for the priority queue in kNN-GiST searches.Heikki Linnakangas
This performs slightly better, uses less memory, and needs slightly less code in GiST, than the Red-Black tree previously used. Reviewed by Peter Geoghegan

Backpatch the applicable parts, just to make backpatching future patches easier.

This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

2013-10-24Use improved vsnprintf calling logic in more places.Tom Lane
When we are using a C99-compliant vsnprintf implementation (which should be most places, these days) it is worth the trouble to make use of its report of how large the buffer needs to be to succeed. This patch adjusts stringinfo.c and some miscellaneous usages in pg_dump to do that, relying on the logic recently added in libpgcommon's psprintf.c. Since these places want to know the number of bytes written once we succeed, modify the API of pvsnprintf() to report that. There remains near-duplicate logic in pqexpbuffer.c, but since that code is in libpq, psprintf.c's approach of exit()-on-error isn't appropriate for use there. Also note that I didn't bother touching the multitude of places that call (v)snprintf without any attempt to provide a resizable buffer. Release-note-worthy incompatibility: the API of appendStringInfoVA() changed. If there's any third-party code that's calling that directly, it will need tweaking along the same lines as in this patch. David Rowley and Tom Lane
2013-08-30Reset the binary heap in MergeAppend rescans.Tom Lane
Failing to do so can cause queries to return wrong data, error out or crash. This requires adding a new binaryheap_reset() method to binaryheap.c, but that probably should have been there anyway. Per bug #8410 from Terje Elde. Diagnosis and patch by Andres Freund.
2013-07-24Improve ilist.h's support for deletion of slist elements during iteration.Tom Lane
Previously one had to use slist_delete(), implying an additional scan of the list, making this infrastructure considerably less efficient than traditional Lists when deletion of element(s) in a long list is needed. Modify the slist_foreach_modify() macro to support deleting the current element in O(1) time, by keeping a "prev" pointer in addition to "cur" and "next". Although this makes iteration with this macro a bit slower, no real harm is done, since in any scenario where you're not going to delete the current list element you might as well just use slist_foreach instead. Improve the comments about when to use each macro. Back-patch to 9.3 so that we'll have consistent semantics in all branches that provide ilist.h. Note this is an ABI break for callers of slist_foreach_modify(). Andres Freund and Tom Lane

2012-11-29Basic binary heap implementation.Robert Haas
There are probably other places where this can be used, but for now, this just makes MergeAppend use it, so that this code will have test coverage. There is other work in the queue that will use this, as well. Abhijit Menon-Sen, reviewed by Andres Freund, Robert Haas, Álvaro Herrera, Tom Lane, and others.
2012-10-18Code review for inline-list patch.Tom Lane
Make foreach macros less syntactically dangerous, and fix some typos in evidently-never-tested ones. Add missing slist_next_node and slist_head_node functions. Fix broken dlist_check code. Assorted comment improvements.
2012-10-17Embedded list interfaceAlvaro Herrera
Provide a common implementation of embedded singly-linked and doubly-linked lists. "Embedded" in the sense that the nodes' next/previous pointers exist within some larger struct; this design choice reduces memory allocation overhead. Most of the implementation uses inlineable functions (where supported), for performance. Some existing uses of both types of lists have been converted to the new code, for demonstration purposes. Other uses can (and probably will) be converted in the future. Since dllist.c is unused after this conversion, it has been removed.

2010-05-08Work around a subtle portability problem in use of printf %s format.Tom Lane
Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s" unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII. This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".

2009-07-24Assorted minor refactoring in EXPLAIN.Tom Lane
This is believed to not change the output at all, with one known exception: "Subquery Scan foo" becomes "Subquery Scan on foo". (We can fix that if anyone complains, but it would be a wart, because the old code was clearly inconsistent.) The main intention is to remove duplicate coding and provide a cleaner base for subsequent EXPLAIN patching. Robert Haas

2007-08-12Increase the initial size of StringInfo buffers to 1024 bytes (from 256);Tom Lane
likewise increase the initial size of the scanner's literal buffer to 1024 (from 128). Instrumentation of the regression tests suggests that this saves a useful amount of repalloc() traffic --- the number of calls occurring during one set of tests drops from about 6900 to about 3900. The old sizes were chosen in the late 90's with an eye to machines much smaller than are common today.

2007-03-22Remove the currently unused FRONTEND case in dllist.c. This allows the usageAlvaro Herrera
