2025-12-05Fix some cases of indirectly casting away const.Tom Lane
Newest versions of gcc are able to detect cases where code implicitly casts away const by assigning the result of strchr() or a similar function applied to a "const char *" value to a target variable that's just "char *". This of course creates a hazard of not getting a compiler warning about scribbling on a string one was not supposed to, so fixing up such cases is good. This patch fixes a dozen or so places where we were doing that. Most are trivial additions of "const" to the target variable, since no actually-hazardous change was occurring. There is one place in ecpg.trailer where we were indeed violating the intention of not modifying a string passed in as "const char *". I believe that's harmless not a live bug, but let's fix it by copying the string before modifying it. There is a remaining trouble spot in ecpg/preproc/variable.c, which requires more complex surgery. I've left that out of this commit because I want to study that code a bit more first. We probably will want to back-patch this once compilers that detect this pattern get into wider circulation, but for now I'm just going to apply it to master to see what the buildfarm says. Thanks to Bertrand Drouvot for finding a couple more spots than I had.

2025-12-01Move WAL sequence code into its own fileMichael Paquier
This split exists for most of the other RMGRs, and makes cleaner the separation between the WAL code, the redo code and the record description code (already in its own file) when it comes to the sequence RMGR. The redo and masking routines are moved to a new file, sequence_xlog.c. All the RMGR routines are now located in a new header, sequence_xlog.h. This separation is useful for a different patch related to sequences that I have been working on, where it makes a refactoring of sequence.c easier if its RMGR routines and its core routines are split.

2025-07-07Standardize LSN formatting by zero paddingÁlvaro Herrera
This commit standardizes the output format for LSNs to ensure consistent representation across various tools and messages. Previously, LSNs were inconsistently printed as `%X/%X` in some contexts, while others used zero-padding. This often led to confusion when comparing. To address this, the LSN format is now uniformly set to `%X/%08X`, ensuring the lower 32-bit part is always zero-padded to eight hexadecimal digits.

2025-03-20Revert workarounds for -Wmissing-braces false positives on old GCCPeter Eisentraut
We have collected several instances of a workaround for GCC bug 53119, which caused false-positive compiler warnings. This bug has long been fixed, but was still seen on the buildfarm, most recently on lapwing with gcc (Debian 4.7.2-5). (The GCC bug tracker mentions that a fix was backported to 4.7.4 and 4.8.3.) That compiler no longer runs warning-free since commit 6fdd5d95634, so we don't need to keep these workarounds. And furthermore, the consensus appears to be that we don't want to keep supporting that era of platform anymore at all. This reverts the following commits: d937904cce6a3d82e4f9c2127de7b59105a134b3 506428d091760650971433f6bc083531c307b368 b449afb582bb9015bfbb85abc10ce122aef9ec70 6392f2a0968c20ecde4d27b6652703ad931fce92 bad0763a4d7be3005eae35d460c73ac4bc7ebaad 5e0c761d0a13c7b4f7c5de618ac38560d74d74d0 and makes a few similar fixes to newer code.

2025-03-17Apply more consistent style for command options in TAP testsMichael Paquier
This commit reshapes the grammar of some commands to apply a more consistent style across the board, following rules similar to ce1b0f9da03e: - Elimination of some pointless used-once variables. - Use of long options, to self-document better the options used. - Use of fat commas to link option names and their assigned values, including redirections, so as perltidy can be tricked to put them together.

2025-01-22Improve grammar of options for command arrays in TAP testsMichael Paquier
This commit rewrites a good chunk of the command arrays in TAP tests with a grammar based on the following rules: - Fat commas are used between option names and their values, making it clear to both humans and perltidy that values and names are bound together. This is particularly useful for the readability of multi-line command arrays, and there are plenty of them in the TAP tests. Most of the test code is updated to use this style. Some commands used parenthesis to show the link, or attached values and options in a single string. These are updated to use fat commas instead. - Option names are switched to use their long names, making them more self-documented. Based on a suggestion by Andrew Dunstan. - Add some trailing commas after the last item in multi-line arrays, which is a common perl style. Not all the places are taken care of, but this covers a very good chunk of them.

2024-12-04Use <stdint.h> and <inttypes.h> for c.h integers.Thomas Munro
Redefine our exact width types with standard C99 types and macros, including int64_t, INT64_MAX, INT64_C(), PRId64 etc. We were already using <stdint.h> types in a few places. One complication is that Windows' <inttypes.h> uses format strings like "%I64d", "%I32", "%I" for PRI*64, PRI*32, PTR*PTR, instead of mapping to other standardized format strings like "%lld" etc as seen on other known systems. Teach our snprintf.c to understand them. This removes a lot of configure clutter, and should also allow 64-bit numbers and other standard types to be used in localized messages without casting.

2024-06-13Add missing source files to nls.mkPeter Eisentraut
Files in common/ and fe_utils/ that contain translatable strings need to be listed in the nls.mk files of the programs that use them. (Not great, but that's the way it works for now.) This usually requires some manual analysis which is done about once during each major release beta period. This time, I wrote a hackish script that figures some of this out more automatically, so this update is a bit larger as it also includes some files that were missed in the past.
2024-05-14Pre-beta mechanical code beautification.Tom Lane
Run pgindent, pgperltidy, and reformat-dat-files. The pgindent part of this is pretty small, consisting mainly of fixing up self-inflicted formatting damage from patches that hadn't bothered to add their new typedefs to typedefs.list. In order to keep it from making anything worse, I manually added a dozen or so typedefs that appeared in the existing typedefs.list but not in the buildfarm's list. Perhaps we should formalize that, or better find a way to get those typedefs into the automatic list. pgperltidy is as opinionated as always, and reformat-dat-files too.

2023-12-29Make all Perl warnings fatalPeter Eisentraut
There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation and TAP tests. Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings. These are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives). Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests when they massage a config file that looks different on different hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a lot of output in a verbose build. This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing use warnings; by use warnings FATAL => 'all'; in all Perl files.

2023-11-06Remove distprepPeter Eisentraut
A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and man documentation. We have done this consistent with established practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a convenience to users. Now this has at least two problems: One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot, for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball. This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way. Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible. The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we want to get the meson build system working universally. This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep anymore. (*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now. The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given that git clean is available.)

Make the primary messages more compact and make the detail messages uniform. In initdb.c and pg_resetwal.c, use the newish option_parse_int() to simplify some of the option parsing. For the backend GUC wal_segment_size, add a GUC check hook to do the verification instead of coding it in bootstrap.c. This might be overkill, but that way the check is in the right place and it becomes more self-documenting. In passing, make pg_controldata use the logging API for warning messages.

2022-12-27pg_waldump: Add --save-fullpage=PATH to save full page images from WAL recordsMichael Paquier
This option extracts (potentially decompressing) full-page images included in WAL records into a given target directory. These images are subject to the same filtering rules as the normal display of the WAL records, hence with --relation one can for example extract only the FPIs issued on the relation defined. By default, the records are printed or their stats computed (--stats), using --quiet would only save the images without any output generated. This is a tool aimed mostly for very experienced users, useful for fixing page-level corruption or just analyzing the past state of a page, and there were no easy way to do that with the in-core tools up to now when looking at WAL. Each block is saved in a separate file, to ease their manipulation, with the file respecting <lsn>.<ts>.<db>.<rel>.<blk>_<fork> with as format. For instance, 00000000-010000C0.1663.1.6117.123_main refers to: - WAL record LSN in hexa format (00000000-010000C0). - Tablespace OID (1663). - Database OID (1). - Relfilenode (6117). - Block number (123). - Fork name of the file this block came from (_main).

There are still some alignment-related failures in the buildfarm, which might or might not be able to be fixed quickly, but I've also just realized that it increased the size of many WAL records by 4 bytes because a block reference contains a RelFileLocator.

2022-09-27Increase width of RelFileNumbers from 32 bits to 56 bits.Robert Haas
RelFileNumbers are now assigned using a separate counter, instead of being assigned from the OID counter. This counter never wraps around: if all 2^56 possible RelFileNumbers are used, an internal error occurs. As the cluster is limited to 2^64 total bytes of WAL, this limitation should not cause a problem in practice. If the counter were 64 bits wide rather than 56 bits wide, we would need to increase the width of the BufferTag, which might adversely impact buffer lookup performance. Also, this lets us use bigint for pg_class.relfilenode and other places where these values are exposed at the SQL level without worrying about overflow. This should remove the need to keep "tombstone" files around until the next checkpoint when relations are removed. We do that to keep RelFileNumbers from being recycled, but now that won't happen anyway. However, this patch doesn't actually change anything in this area; it just makes it possible for a future patch to do so.

2022-09-21meson: Add initial version of meson based build systemAndres Freund
Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system. After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects. We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of the new build system and mature it in tree. This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but building slower). Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only extensions) are not yet addressed. When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism. The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported versions build with meson.

2022-09-14Use SIGNAL_ARGS consistently to declare signal handlers.Tom Lane
Various bits of code were declaring signal handlers manually, using "int signum" or variants of that. We evidently have no platforms where that's actually wrong, but let's use our SIGNAL_ARGS macro everywhere anyway. If nothing else, it's good for finding signal handlers easily. No need for back-patch, since this is just cosmetic AFAICS. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2684964.1663167995@sss.pgh.pa.us
2022-07-13Revert "Use wildcards instead of manually-maintained file lists in */nls.mk."Tom Lane
This reverts commit 617d69141220f277170927e03a19d2f1b77aed77. While I still think the basic idea is attractive, we need to sort out what happens with built .c files, and there also seem to be VPATH issues.
2022-07-13Use wildcards instead of manually-maintained file lists in */nls.mk.Tom Lane
The backend already used a mechanically-generated list of *.c files, but everywhere else we had a manually-written-out list of files in which to seek translatable messages. Commit b0a55e432 contains the latest in a long line of failures to update those lists. Rather than manually fix its oversight, let's change to using "$(wildcard *.c)" in all these nls.mk files. Many of these files also have manual references to some *.c files in other directories, most often src/common/. Perhaps we should try to improve that situation too; but it's a bit less clear how, so for now just fix the local file references.

2022-07-13NLS: Put list of available languages into LINGUAS filesPeter Eisentraut
This moves the list of available languages from nls.mk into a separate file called po/LINGUAS. Advantages: - It keeps the parts notionally managed by programmers (nls.mk) separate from the parts notionally managed by translators (LINGUAS). - It's the standard practice recommended by the Gettext manual nowadays. - The Meson build system also supports this layout (and of course doesn't know anything about our custom nls.mk), so this would enable sharing the list of languages between the two build systems. (The MSVC build system currently finds all po files by globbing, so it is not affected by this change.)

2022-07-06Change internal RelFileNode references to RelFileNumber or RelFileLocator.Robert Haas
We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination; or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is confusing. Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage". Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other SQL-facing things that derive their name from it. On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode, so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to how they're being used in context. Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these are the same, but that can now more easily be changed. Dilip Kumar, per an idea from me. Reviewed also by Andres Freund. I fixed some whitespace issues, changed a couple of words in a comment, and made one other minor correction.
