The immediate motivation for this is to provide clean infrastructure
for the proposed \if...\endif patch for psql; but it seems like a good
thing to have even if that patch doesn't get in. Previously the callback
functions could only make use of application-global state, which is a
pretty severe handicap.
For the moment, the pointer is only passed through to the get_variable
callback function. I considered also passing it to the write_error
callback, but for now let's not. Neither psql nor pgbench has a use
for that, and in the case of psql we'd have to invent a separate wrapper
function because we would certainly not want to change the signature of
psql_error().

c.h #includes a number of core libc header files, such as <stdio.h>.
There's no point in re-including these after having read postgres.h,
postgres_fe.h, or c.h; so remove code that did so.
While at it, also fix some places that were ignoring our standard pattern
of "include postgres[_fe].h, then system header files, then other Postgres
header files". While there's not any great magic in doing it that way
rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files
deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this
globally, only in files I was touching anyway.)
I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism,
but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.

Versions of flex before 2.5.36 might generate code that results in an
"unused variable" warning, when using %option reentrant. Historically
we've worked around that by specifying -Wno-error, but that's an
unsatisfying solution. The official "fix" for this was just to insert a
dummy reference to the variable, so write a small perl script that edits
the generated C code similarly.
The MSVC side of this is untested, but the buildfarm should soon reveal
if I broke that.

Ancient oversight in PageOutput(): if popen() fails, we'd better reset
the SIGPIPE handler before returning stdout, because ClosePager() won't.
Noticed while fixing the empty-PAGER issue.
|
|
If the PAGER environment variable is set but contains an empty string,
psql would pass it to "sh" which would silently exit, causing whatever
query output we were printing to vanish entirely. This is quite
mystifying; it took a long time for us to figure out that this was the
cause of Joseph Brenner's trouble report. Rather than allowing that
to happen, we should treat this as another way to specify "no pager".
(We could alternatively treat it as selecting the default pager, but
it seems more likely that the former is what the user meant to achieve
by setting PAGER this way.)
Nonempty, but all-white-space, PAGER values have the same behavior, and
it's pretty easy to test for that, so let's handle that case the same way.
Most other cases of faulty PAGER values will result in the shell printing
some kind of complaint to stderr, which should be enough to diagnose the
problem, so we don't need to work harder than this. (Note that there's
been an intentional decision not to be very chatty about apparent failure
returns from the pager process, since that may happen if, eg, the user
quits the pager with control-C or some such. I'd just as soon not start
splitting hairs about which exit codes might merit making our own report.)
libpq's old PQprint() function was already on board with ignoring empty
PAGER values, but for consistency, make it ignore all-white-space values
as well.
It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Brain fade in commit a00c58314: I was thinking that a string starting with
"-" could be taken as a switch depending on command line syntax. That's
true, but having appendShellString() quote it will not help, so we may as
well not do so. Per complaint from Peter Eisentraut.

The original coding here was not nearly careful enough about quoting
special characters, and it didn't get corner cases right for constructing
the pg_ctl path either. Use join_path_components() and appendShellString()
to do it honestly, so that the string will more likely work if blindly
copied-and-pasted.
While at it, teach appendShellString() not to quote strings that clearly
don't need it, so that the output from initdb doesn't become uglier than
it was before in typical cases where quoting is not needed.

This is somewhat cosmetic, since as long as you know what you are looking
at, "10.0" is a serviceable substitute for "10". But there is a potential
for confusion between version numbers with minor numbers and those without
--- we don't want people asking "why is psql saying 10.0 when my server is
10.2". Therefore, back-patch as far as practical, which turns out to be
9.3. I could have redone the patch to use fprintf(stderr) in place of
psql_error(), but it seems more work than is warranted for branches that
will be EOL or nearly so by the time v10 comes out.
Although only psql seems to contain any code that needs this, I chose
to put the support function into fe_utils, since it seems likely we'll
need it in other client programs in future. (In 9.3-9.5, use dumputils.c,
the predecessor of fe_utils/string_utils.c.)
In HEAD, also fix the backend code that whines about loadable-library
version mismatch. I don't see much need to back-patch that.

Due to simplistic quoting and confusion of database names with conninfo
strings, roles with the CREATEDB or CREATEROLE option could escalate to
superuser privileges when a superuser next ran certain maintenance
commands. The new coding rule for PQconnectdbParams() calls, documented
at conninfo_array_parse(), is to pass expand_dbname=true and wrap
literal database names in a trivial connection string. Escape
zero-length values in appendConnStrVal(). Back-patch to 9.1 (all
supported versions).

Rename these newly-extern functions with terms more typical of their new
neighbors. No functional changes; a subsequent commit will use them in
more places. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). Back branches
lack src/fe_utils, so instead rename the functions in place; the
subsequent commit will copy them into the other programs using them.

Reference to getThreadLocalPQExpBuffer here seems inappropriate, since
we aren't necessarily using that instantiation of getLocalPQExpBuffer.

Move fmtReloptionsArray() from pg_dump.c to string_utils.c so that it
is available to other frontend code. In particular psql's \ev and \sv
commands need it to handle view reloptions. Also rename the function
to appendReloptionsArray(), which is a more accurate description of
what it does.

\crosstabview is a completely different way to display results from a
query: instead of a vertical display of rows, the data values are placed
in a grid where the column and row headers come from the data itself,
similar to a spreadsheet.
The sort order of the horizontal header can be specified by using
another column in the query, and the vertical header determines its
ordering from the order in which they appear in the query.
This only allows displaying a single value in each cell. If more than
one value correspond to the same cell, an error is thrown. Merging of
values can be done in the query itself, if necessary. This may be
revisited in the future.

This completes (at least for now) the project of getting rid of ad-hoc
linkages among the src/bin/ subdirectories. Everything they share is now
in src/fe_utils/ and is included from a static library at link time.
A side benefit is that we can restore the FLEX_NO_BACKUP check for
psqlscanslash.l. We might need to think of another way to do that check
if we ever need to build two lexers with that property in the same source
directory, but there's no foreseeable reason to need that.

Just turning the crank ...
|
|
Per discussion, we want to create a static library and put the stuff into
it that until now has been shared across src/bin/ directories by ad-hoc
methods like symlinking a source file. This commit creates the library and
populates it with a couple of files that contain the widely-useful portions
of pg_dump's dumputils.c file. dumputils.c survives, because it has some
stuff that didn't seem appropriate for fe_utils, but it's significantly
smaller and is no longer referenced from any other directory.
Follow-on patches will move more stuff into fe_utils.
The Mkvcbuild.pm hacking here is just a best guess; we'll see how the
buildfarm likes it.
