2022-07-03Remove redundant null pointer checks before free()Peter Eisentraut
Per applicable standards, free() with a null pointer is a no-op. Systems that don't observe that are ancient and no longer relevant. Some PostgreSQL code already required this behavior, so this change does not introduce any new requirements, just makes the code more consistent.

2015-04-03Add palloc_extended for frontend and backend.Fujii Masao
This commit also adds pg_malloc_extended for frontend. These interfaces can be used to control at a lower level memory allocation using an interface similar to MemoryContextAllocExtended. For example, the callers can specify MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM if they want to suppress the "out of memory" error while allocating the memory and handle a NULL return value. Michael Paquier, reviewed by me.

2013-10-22Get rid of use of asprintf() in favor of a more portable implementation.Tom Lane
asprintf(), aside from not being particularly portable, has a fundamentally badly-designed API; the psprintf() function that was added in passing in the previous patch has a much better API choice. Moreover, the NetBSD implementation that was borrowed for the previous patch doesn't work with non-C99-compliant vsnprintf, which is something we still have to cope with on some platforms; and it depends on va_copy which isn't all that portable either. Get rid of that code in favor of an implementation similar to what we've used for many years in stringinfo.c. Also, move it into libpgcommon since it's not really libpgport material. I think this patch will be enough to turn the buildfarm green again, but there's still cosmetic work left to do, namely get rid of pg_asprintf() in favor of using psprintf(). That will come in a followon patch.

Add asprintf(), pg_asprintf(), and psprintf() to simplify string allocation and composition. Replacement implementations taken from NetBSD. Reviewed-by: Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@2ndquadrant.com> Reviewed-by: Asif Naeem <anaeem.it@gmail.com>

2013-02-12Rename "string" pstrdup argument to "in"Alvaro Herrera
The former name collides with a symbol also used in the isolation test's parser, causing assorted failures in certain platforms.
2013-02-12Create libpgcommon, and move pg_malloc et al to itAlvaro Herrera
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better to keep them separate. The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc and friends, which many frontend programs were already using. At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the previous one. This lets us clean up some places that were already with localized hacks. Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
