2009-11-12Remove pg_parse_string_token() --- not needed anymore.Tom Lane
2009-11-09Re-refactor the core scanner's API, in order to get out from under the problemTom Lane
of different parsers having different YYSTYPE unions that they want to use with it. I defined a new union core_YYSTYPE that is just the (very short) list of semantic values returned by the core scanner. I had originally worried that this would require an extra interface layer, but actually we can have parser.c's base_yylex (formerly filtered_base_yylex) take care of that at no extra cost. Names associated with the core scanner are now "core_yy_foo", with "base_yy_foo" being used in the core Bison parser and the parser.c interface layer. This solves the last serious stumbling block to eliminating plpgsql's separate lexer. One restriction that will still be present is that plpgsql and the core will have to agree on the token numbers assigned to tokens that can be returned by the core lexer. Since Bison doesn't seem willing to accept external assignments of those numbers, we'll have to live with decreeing that core and plpgsql grammars declare these tokens first and in the same order.
2009-07-14Tweak the core scanner so that it can be used by plpgsql too.Tom Lane
Changes: Pass in the keyword lookup array instead of having it be hardwired. (This incidentally allows elimination of some duplicate coding in ecpg.) Re-order the token declarations in gram.y so that non-keyword tokens have numbers that won't change when keywords are added or removed. Add ".." and ":=" to the set of tokens recognized by scan.l. (Since these combinations are nowhere legal in core SQL, this does not change anything except the precise wording of the error you get when you write this.)
2009-07-13Convert the core lexer and parser into fully reentrant code, by making useTom Lane
of features added to flex and bison since this code was originally written. This change doesn't in itself offer any new capability, but it's needed infrastructure for planned improvements in plpgsql. Another feature now available in flex is the ability to make it use palloc instead of malloc, so do that to avoid possible memory leaks. (We should at some point change the other lexers likewise, but this commit doesn't touch them.)
2009-07-12Move some declarations in the raw-parser header files to create a clearerTom Lane
distinction between the external API (parser.h) and declarations that only need to be visible within the raw parser code (gramparse.h, which now is only included by parser.c, gram.y, scan.l, and keywords.c). This is in preparation for the upcoming change to a reentrant lexer, which will require referencing YYSTYPE in the declarations of base_yylex and filtered_base_yylex, hence gram.h will have to be included by gramparse.h. We don't want any more files than absolutely necessary to depend on gram.h, so some cleanup is called for.

provided by Andrew.
2009-04-19Rethink the idea of having plpgsql depend on parser/gram.h. Aside from theTom Lane
fact that this is breaking the MSVC build, it's probably not really a good idea to expand the dependencies of gram.h any further than the core parser; for instance the value of SCONST might depend on which bison version you'd built with. Better to expose an additional call point in parser.c, so move what I had put into pl_funcs.c into parser.c. Also PGDLLIMPORT'ify the reference to standard_conforming_strings, per buildfarm results.

2008-10-28Add WITH [NO] DATA clause to CREATE TABLE AS, per SQL.Peter Eisentraut
Also, since WITH is now a reserved word, simplify the token merging code to only deal with WITH_TIME. by Tom Lane and myself
2008-08-29Remove all traces that suggest that a non-Bison yacc might be supported, andPeter Eisentraut
change build system to use only Bison. Simplify build rules, make file names uniform. Don't build the token table header file where it is not needed.

2007-11-15pgindent run for 8.3.Bruce Momjian
2007-01-09Support ORDER BY ... NULLS FIRST/LAST, and add ASC/DESC/NULLS FIRST/NULLS LASTTom Lane
per-column options for btree indexes. The planner's support for this is still pretty rudimentary; it does not yet know how to plan mergejoins with nondefault ordering options. The documentation is pretty rudimentary, too. I'll work on improving that stuff later. Note incompatible change from prior behavior: ORDER BY ... USING will now be rejected if the operator is not a less-than or greater-than member of some btree opclass. This prevents less-than-sane behavior if an operator that doesn't actually define a proper sort ordering is selected.
2007-01-06Fix filtered_base_yylex() to save and restore base_yylval and base_yyllocTom Lane
properly when doing a lookahead. The lack of this was causing various interesting misbehaviors when one tries to use "with" as a plain identifier.

2006-07-15Fix some missing inclusions identified with new pgcheckdefines tool.Tom Lane
2006-05-27Re-introduce the yylex filter function formerly used to support UNIONTom Lane
JOIN, which I removed in a recent fit of over-optimism that we wouldn't have any future use for it. Now it's needed to support disambiguating WITH CHECK OPTION from WITH TIME ZONE. As proof of concept, add stub grammar productions for WITH CHECK OPTION.
2006-03-07Remove the stub support we had for UNION JOIN; per discussion, this isTom Lane
not likely ever to be implemented seeing it's been removed from SQL2003. This allows getting rid of the 'filter' version of yylex() that we had in parser.c, which should save at least a few microseconds in parsing.

2004-12-31Tag appropriate files for rc3PostgreSQL Daemon
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...

2004-03-24Replace max_expr_depth parameter with a max_stack_depth parameter thatTom Lane
is measured in kilobytes and checked against actual physical execution stack depth, as per my proposal of 30-Dec. This gives us a fairly bulletproof defense against crashing due to runaway recursive functions.

2003-05-05Not sure why parser() was still doing clearerr(stdin) ... but it'sTom Lane
*got* to be pointless.
2003-04-29Infrastructure for deducing Param types from context, in the same wayTom Lane
that the types of untyped string-literal constants are deduced (ie, when coerce_type is applied to 'em, that's what the type must be). Remove the ancient hack of storing the input Param-types array as a global variable, and put the info into ParseState instead. This touches a lot of files because of adjustment of routine parameter lists, but it's really not a large patch. Note: PREPARE statement still insists on exact specification of parameter types, but that could easily be relaxed now, if we wanted to do so.
2003-04-27Put back encoding-conversion step in processing of incoming queries;Tom Lane
I had inadvertently omitted it while rearranging things to support length-counted incoming messages. Also, change the parser's API back to accepting a 'char *' query string instead of 'StringInfo', as the latter wasn't buying us anything except overhead. (I think when I put it in I had some notion of making the parser API 8-bit-clean, but seeing that flex depends on null-terminated input, that's not really ever gonna happen.)

2002-04-20Scanner performance improvementsPeter Eisentraut
Use flex flags -CF. Pass the to-be-scanned string around as StringInfo type, to avoid querying the length repeatedly. Clean up some code and remove lex-compatibility cruft. Escape backslash sequences inline. Use flex-provided yy_scan_buffer() function to set up input, rather than using myinput().

2000-10-07Arrange that no database accesses are attempted during parser() --- thisTom Lane
took some rejiggering of typename and ACL parsing, as well as moving parse_analyze call out of parser(). Restructure postgres.c processing so that parse analysis and rewrite are skipped when in abort-transaction state. Only COMMIT and ABORT statements will be processed beyond the raw parser() phase. This addresses problem of parser failing with database access errors while in aborted state (see pghackers discussions around 7/28/00). Also fix some bugs with COMMIT/ABORT statements appearing in the middle of a single query input string. Function, operator, and aggregate arguments/results can now use full TypeName production, in particular foo[] for array types. DROP OPERATOR and COMMENT ON OPERATOR were broken for unary operators. Allow CREATE AGGREGATE to accept unquoted numeric constants for initcond.
2000-09-12First cut at full support for OUTER JOINs. There are still a few looseTom Lane
ends to clean up (see my message of same date to pghackers), but mostly it works. INITDB REQUIRED!
