2018-10-18Still further rethinking of build changes for macOS Mojave.Tom Lane
To avoid the sorts of problems complained of by Jakob Egger, it'd be best if configure didn't emit any references to the sysroot path at all. In the case of PL/Tcl, we can do that just by keeping our hands off the TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC string altogether. In the case of PL/Perl, we need to substitute -iwithsysroot for -I in the compile commands, which is easily handled if we change to using a configure output variable that includes the switch not only the directory name. Since PL/Tcl and PL/Python already do it like that, this seems like good consistency cleanup anyway. Hence, this replaces the advice given to Perl-related extensions in commit 5e2217131; instead of writing "-I$(perl_archlibexp)/CORE", they should just write "$(perl_includespec)". (The old way continues to work, but not on recent macOS.) It's still the case that configure needs to be aware of the sysroot path internally, but that's cleaner than what we had before. As before, back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20840.1537850987@sss.pgh.pa.us
2018-09-25Make some fixes to allow building Postgres on macOS 10.14 ("Mojave").Tom Lane
Apple's latest rearrangements of the system-supplied headers have broken building of PL/Perl and PL/Tcl. The only practical way to fix PL/Tcl is to start using the "-isysroot" compiler flag to point to SDK-supplied headers, as Apple expects. We must also start distinguishing where to find Perl's headers from where to find its shared library; but that seems like good cleanup anyway. Extensions that formerly did something like -I$(perl_archlibexp)/CORE should now do -I$(perl_includedir)/CORE instead. perl_archlibexp is still the place to look for libperl.so, though. If for some reason you don't like the default -isysroot setting, you can override that by setting PG_SYSROOT in configure's arguments. I don't currently think people would need to do so, unless maybe for cross-version build purposes. In addition, teach configure where to find tclConfig.sh. Our traditional method of searching $auto_path hasn't worked for the last couple of macOS releases, and it now seems clear that Apple's not going to change that. The workaround of manually specifying --with-tclconfig was annoying already, but Mojave's made it a lot more so because the sysroot path now has to be included as well. Let's just wire the knowledge into configure instead. To avoid breaking builds against non-default Tcl installations (e.g. MacPorts) wherein the $auto_path method probably still works, arrange to try the additional case only after all else has failed. Back-patch to all supported versions, since at least the buildfarm cares about that. The changes are set up to not do anything on macOS releases that are old enough to not have functional sysroot trees.

Silly mistake in my commit 09cecdf285ea9f51, reported by Erik Rijkers. The fact that the buildfarm didn't find this implies that we are not testing Perl builds that lack MULTIPLICITY, which is a bit disturbing from a coverage standpoint. Until today I'd have said nobody cared about such configurations anymore; but maybe not.

2015-09-29Fix plperl to handle non-ASCII error message texts correctly.Tom Lane
We were passing error message texts to croak() verbatim, which turns out not to work if the text contains non-ASCII characters; Perl mangles their encoding, as reported in bug #13638 from Michal Leinweber. To fix, convert the text into a UTF8-encoded SV first. It's hard to test this without risking failures in different database encodings; but we can follow the lead of plpython, which is already assuming that no-break space (U+00A0) has an equivalent in all encodings we care about running the regression tests in (cf commit 2dfa15de5). Back-patch to 9.1. The code is quite different in 9.0, and anyway it seems too risky to put something like this into 9.0's final minor release.

2015-08-02Fix a number of places that produced XX000 errors in the regression tests.Tom Lane
It's against project policy to use elog() for user-facing errors, or to omit an errcode() selection for errors that aren't supposed to be "can't happen" cases. Fix all the violations of this policy that result in ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR log entries during the standard regression tests, as errors that can reliably be triggered from SQL surely should be considered user-facing. I also looked through all the files touched by this commit and fixed other nearby problems of the same ilk. I do not claim to have fixed all violations of the policy, just the ones in these files. In a few places I also changed existing ERRCODE choices that didn't seem particularly appropriate; mainly replacing ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR by something more specific. Back-patch to 9.5, but no further; changing ERRCODE assignments in stable branches doesn't seem like a good idea.

2015-05-19Revert error-throwing wrappers for the printf family of functions.Tom Lane
This reverts commit 16304a013432931e61e623c8d85e9fe24709d9ba, except for its changes in src/port/snprintf.c; as well as commit cac18a76bb6b08f1ecc2a85e46c9d2ab82dd9d23 which is no longer needed. Fujii Masao reported that the previous commit caused failures in psql on OS X, since if one exits the pager program early while viewing a query result, psql sees an EPIPE error from fprintf --- and the wrapper function thought that was reason to panic. (It's a bit surprising that the same does not happen on Linux.) Further discussion among the security list concluded that the risk of other such failures was far too great, and that the one-size-fits-all approach to error handling embodied in the previous patch is unlikely to be workable. This leaves us again exposed to the possibility of the type of failure envisioned in CVE-2015-3166. However, that failure mode is strictly hypothetical at this point: there is no concrete reason to believe that an attacker could trigger information disclosure through the supposed mechanism. In the first place, the attack surface is fairly limited, since so much of what the backend does with format strings goes through stringinfo.c or psprintf(), and those already had adequate defenses. In the second place, even granting that an unprivileged attacker could control the occurrence of ENOMEM with some precision, it's a stretch to believe that he could induce it just where the target buffer contains some valuable information. So we concluded that the risk of non-hypothetical problems induced by the patch greatly outweighs the security risks. We will therefore revert, and instead undertake closer analysis to identify specific calls that may need hardening, rather than attempt a universal solution. We have kept the portion of the previous patch that improved snprintf.c's handling of errors when it calls the platform's sprintf(). That seems to be an unalloyed improvement. Security: CVE-2015-3166
2015-05-18Add error-throwing wrappers for the printf family of functions.Noah Misch
All known standard library implementations of these functions can fail with ENOMEM. A caller neglecting to check for failure would experience missing output, information exposure, or a crash. Check return values within wrappers and code, currently just snprintf.c, that bypasses the wrappers. The wrappers do not return after an error, so their callers need not check. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). Popular free software standard library implementations do take pains to bypass malloc() in simple cases, but they risk ENOMEM for floating point numbers, positional arguments, large field widths, and large precisions. No specification demands such caution, so this commit regards every call to a printf family function as a potential threat. Injecting the wrappers implicitly is a compromise between patch scope and design goals. I would prefer to edit each call site to name a wrapper explicitly. libpq and the ECPG libraries would, ideally, convey errors to the caller rather than abort(). All that would be painfully invasive for a back-patched security fix, hence this compromise. Security: CVE-2015-3166
2015-05-01Make hstore_plperl's build even more like plperl'sPeter Eisentraut
Combine the two places that set CPPFLAGS into one. Also, some settings should be restricted to Windows only. More precisely, -Wno-comment is a GCC-only option, but Windows in a makefile implies GCC at the moment. Also, since -Wno-comment is more properly a preprocessor option, move it to CPPFLAGS to simplify things a bit.
2015-05-01Move interpreter shared library detection to configurePeter Eisentraut
For building PL/Perl, PL/Python, and PL/Tcl, we need a shared library of libperl, libpython, and libtcl, respectively. Previously, this was checked in the makefiles, skipping the PL build with a warning if no shared library was available. Now this is checked in configure, with an error if no shared library is available. The previous situation arose because in the olden days, the configure options --with-perl, --with-python, and --with-tcl controlled whether frontend interfaces for those languages would be built. The procedural languages were added later, and shared libraries were often not available in the beginning. So it was decided skip the builds of the procedural languages in those cases. The frontend interfaces have since been removed from the tree, and shared libraries are now available most of the time, so that setup makes much less sense now. Also, the new setup allows contrib modules and pgxs users to rely on the respective PLs being available based on configure flags.
2015-04-29Fix parallel make risk with new check temp-install setupPeter Eisentraut
The "check" target no longer needs to depend on "all", because it now runs "install" directly, which in turn depends on "all". Doing both will cause problems with parallel make, because two builds will run next to each other. Also remove the redirection of the temp-install output into a log file. This was appropriate when this was done from within pg_regress, but now it's just a regular make run, and especially with the above changes this will now take the place of running the "all" target before the test suites. problem report by Jeff Janes, patch in part by Michael Paquier

2015-04-23Improve speed of make check-worldPeter Eisentraut
Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for each test suite, which is slow and wasteful. Instead, we now create one test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a make run. The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress and handled in the makefiles. This allows for better control, and unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress. review and msvc support by Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com> more review by Fabien Coelho <coelho@cri.ensmp.fr>
2015-03-26Tweak __attribute__-wrapping macros for better pgindent results.Tom Lane
This improves on commit bbfd7edae5aa5ad5553d3c7e102f2e450d4380d4 by making two simple changes: * pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn(). Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them. * attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts, which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns. I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
2015-03-11Add macros wrapping all usage of gcc's __attribute__.Andres Freund
Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers; which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h. Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf, pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed, but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality. This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on __attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many occurances of that and it's hard to work around... Discussion: 54B58BA3.8040302@ohmu.fi Author: Oskari Saarenmaa, with some minor changes by me.
2015-02-21In array_agg(), don't create a new context for every group.Jeff Davis
Previously, each new array created a new memory context that started out at 8kB. This is incredibly wasteful when there are lots of small groups of just a few elements each. Change initArrayResult() and friends to accept a "subcontext" argument to indicate whether the caller wants the ArrayBuildState allocated in a new subcontext or not. If not, it can no longer be released separately from the rest of the memory context. Fixes bug report by Frank van Vugt on 2013-10-19. Tomas Vondra. Reviewed by Ali Akbar, Tom Lane, and me.

2014-12-18Improve hash_create's API for selecting simple-binary-key hash functions.Tom Lane
Previously, if you wanted anything besides C-string hash keys, you had to specify a custom hashing function to hash_create(). Nearly all such callers were specifying tag_hash or oid_hash; which is tedious, and rather error-prone, since a caller could easily miss the opportunity to optimize by using hash_uint32 when appropriate. Replace this with a design whereby callers using simple binary-data keys just specify HASH_BLOBS and don't need to mess with specific support functions. hash_create() itself will take care of optimizing when the key size is four bytes. This nets out saving a few hundred bytes of code space, and offers a measurable performance improvement in tidbitmap.c (which was not exploiting the opportunity to use hash_uint32 for its 4-byte keys). There might be some wins elsewhere too, I didn't analyze closely. In future we could look into offering a similar optimized hashing function for 8-byte keys. Under this design that could be done in a centralized and machine-independent fashion, whereas getting it right for keys of platform-dependent sizes would've been notationally painful before. For the moment, the old way still works fine, so as not to break source code compatibility for loadable modules. Eventually we might want to remove tag_hash and friends from the exported API altogether, since there's no real need for them to be explicitly referenced from outside dynahash.c.

2014-12-02Improve error messages for malformed array input strings.Tom Lane
Make the error messages issued by array_in() uniformly follow the style ERROR: malformed array literal: "actual input string" DETAIL: specific complaint here and rewrite many of the specific complaints to be clearer. The immediate motivation for doing this is a complaint from Josh Berkus that json_to_record() produced an unintelligible error message when dealing with an array item, because it tries to feed the JSON-format array value to array_in(). Really it ought to be smart enough to perform JSON-to-Postgres array conversion, but that's a future feature not a bug fix. In the meantime, this change is something we agreed we could back-patch into 9.4, and it should help de-confuse things a bit.
2014-11-25Support arrays as input to array_agg() and ARRAY(SELECT ...).Tom Lane
These cases formerly failed with errors about "could not find array type for data type". Now they yield arrays of the same element type and one higher dimension. The implementation involves creating functions with API similar to the existing accumArrayResult() family. I (tgl) also extended the base family by adding an initArrayResult() function, which allows callers to avoid special-casing the zero-inputs case if they just want an empty array as result. (Not all do, so the previous calling convention remains valid.) This allowed simplifying some existing code in xml.c and plperl.c. Ali Akbar, reviewed by Pavel Stehule, significantly modified by me

2014-04-18Create function prototype as part of PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macroPeter Eisentraut
Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files, but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant. Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of compiler warnings in extension modules. We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that functions have the right prototype. Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.
