2016-03-19Split psql's lexer into two separate .l files for SQL and backslash cases.Tom Lane
This gets us to a point where psqlscan.l can be used by other frontend programs for the same purpose psql uses it for, ie to detect when it's collected a complete SQL command from input that is divided across line boundaries. Moreover, other programs can supply their own lexers for backslash commands of their own choosing. A follow-on patch will use this in pgbench. The end result here is roughly the same as in Kyotaro Horiguchi's 0001-Make-SQL-parser-part-of-psqlscan-independent-from-ps.patch, although the details of the method for switching between lexers are quite different. Basically, in this patch we share the entire PsqlScanState, YY_BUFFER_STATE stack, *and* yyscan_t between different lexers. The only thing we need to do to switch to a different lexer is to make sure the start_state is valid for the new lexer. This works because flex doesn't keep any other persistent state that depends on the specific lexing tables generated for a particular .l file. (We are assuming that both lexers are built with the same flex version, or at least versions that are compatible with respect to the contents of yyscan_t; but that doesn't seem likely to be a big problem in practice, considering how slowly flex changes.) Aside from being more efficient than Horiguchi-san's original solution, this avoids possible corner-case changes in semantics: the original code was capable of popping the input buffer stack while still staying in backslash-related parsing states. I'm not sure that that equates to any useful user-visible behaviors, but I'm not sure it doesn't either, so I'm loath to assume that we only need to consider the topmost buffer when parsing a backslash command. I've attempted to update the MSVC build scripts for the added .l file, but will rely on the buildfarm to see if I missed anything. Kyotaro Horiguchi and Tom Lane

2014-12-31Improve consistency of parsing of psql's magic variables.Tom Lane
For simple boolean variables such as ON_ERROR_STOP, psql has for a long time recognized variant spellings of "on" and "off" (such as "1"/"0"), and it also made a point of warning you if you'd misspelled the setting. But these conveniences did not exist for other keyword-valued variables. In particular, though ECHO_HIDDEN and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK include "on" and "off" as possible values, none of the alternative spellings for those were recognized; and to make matters worse the code would just silently assume "on" was meant for any unrecognized spelling. Several people have reported getting bitten by this, so let's fix it. In detail, this patch: * Allows all spellings recognized by ParseVariableBool() for ECHO_HIDDEN and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK. * Reports a warning for unrecognized values for COMP_KEYWORD_CASE, ECHO, ECHO_HIDDEN, HISTCONTROL, ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK, and VERBOSITY. * Recognizes all values for all these variables case-insensitively; previously there was a mishmash of case-sensitive and case-insensitive behaviors. Back-patch to all supported branches. There is a small risk of breaking existing scripts that were accidentally failing to malfunction; but the consensus is that the chance of detecting real problems and preventing future mistakes outweighs this.

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

The Solaris Studio compiler warns about these instances, unlike more mainstream compilers such as gcc. But manual inspection showed that the code is clearly not reachable, and we hope no worthy compiler will complain about removing this code.

2006-08-29Invent an assign-hook mechanism for psql variables similar to the oneTom Lane
existing for backend GUC variables, and use this to eliminate repeated fetching/parsing of psql variables in psql's inner loops. In a trivial test with lots of 'select 1;' commands, psql's CPU time went down almost 10%, although of course the effect on total elapsed time was much less. Per discussion about how to ensure the upcoming FETCH_COUNT patch doesn't cost any performance when not being used.
2006-06-21Clean up psql variable code a little: eliminate unnecessary tests inTom Lane
GetVariable() and be consistent about treatment of the list header. Motivated by noticing strspn() taking an unreasonable percentage of runtime --- the call removed from GetVariable() was the only one that could be in a high-usage path ...
2006-06-14Clean up psql's control-C handling to avoid longjmp'ing out of randomTom Lane
places --- that risks corrupting data structures, losing sync with the backend, etc. We now longjmp only from calls to readline, fgets, and fread, which we assume are coded to protect themselves against interrupts at undesirable times. This requires adding explicit tests for cancel_pressed in long-running loops, but on the whole it's far cleaner. Martijn van Oosterhout and Tom Lane.

2004-01-25More fallout from the recent psql patch: rename xmalloc and friends toNeil Conway
pg_malloc, to avoid linker failures on same platforms.
2004-01-24This patch makes some of the memory manipulation performed by psql aNeil Conway
little more sane. Some parts of the code was using a static function xmalloc() that did safe memory allocation (where "safe" means "bail out on OOM"), but most of it was just invoking calloc() or malloc() directly. Now almost everything invokes xmalloc() or xcalloc().

2003-06-28Update psql for some features of new FE/BE protocol. There is aTom Lane
client-side AUTOCOMMIT mode now: '\set AUTOCOMMIT off' supports SQL-spec commit behavior. Get rid of LO_TRANSACTION hack --- the LO operations just work now, using libpq's ability to track the transaction status. Add a VERBOSE variable to control verboseness of error message display, and add a %T prompt-string code to show current transaction-block status. Superuser state display in the prompt string correctly follows SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands. Control-C works to get out of COPY IN state.
2003-03-20I'm continuing to work on cleaning up code in psql. As things appearBruce Momjian
now, my changes seem to work. Some possible minor bugs got squished on the way but I can't be sure without more feedback from people who really put the code to the test. The new patch mostly simplifies variable handling and reduces code duplication. Changes in the command parser eliminate some redundant variables (boolean state + depth counter), replaces some "else if" constructs with switches, and so on. It is meant to be applied together with my previous patch, although I hope they don't conflict; I went back to the CVS version for this one. One more thing I thought should perhaps be changed: an IGNOREEOF value of n will ignore only n-1 EOFs. I didn't want to touch this for fear of breaking existing applications, but it does seem a tad illogical. Jeroen T. Vermeulen
2001-02-10Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: thereTom Lane
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand. Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
