Prior to v14, we insisted that the query in RETURN QUERY be of a type
that returns tuples. (For instance, INSERT RETURNING was allowed,
but not plain INSERT.) That happened indirectly because we opened a
cursor for the query, so spi.c checked SPI_is_cursor_plan(). As a
consequence, the error message wasn't terribly on-point, but at least
it was there.
Commit 2f48ede08 lost this detail. Instead, plain RETURN QUERY
insisted that the query be a SELECT (by checking for SPI_OK_SELECT)
while RETURN QUERY EXECUTE failed to check the query type at all.
Neither of these changes was intended.
The only convenient place to check this in the EXECUTE case is inside
_SPI_execute_plan, because we haven't done parse analysis until then.
So we need to pass down a flag saying whether to enforce that the
query returns tuples. Fortunately, we can squeeze another boolean
into struct SPIExecuteOptions without an ABI break, since there's
padding space there. (It's unlikely that any extensions would
already be using this new struct, but preserving ABI in v14 seems
like a smart idea anyway.)
Within spi.c, it seemed like _SPI_execute_plan's parameter list
was already ridiculously long, and I didn't want to make it longer.
So I thought of passing SPIExecuteOptions down as-is, allowing that
parameter list to become much shorter. This makes the patch a bit
more invasive than it might otherwise be, but it's all internal to
spi.c, so that seems fine.
Per report from Marc Bachmann. Back-patch to v14 where the
faulty code came in.

Commit 84f5c2908 forgot to consider the possibility that
EnsurePortalSnapshotExists could run inside a subtransaction with
lifespan shorter than the Portal's. In that case, the new active
snapshot would be popped at the end of the subtransaction, leaving
a dangling pointer in the Portal, with mayhem ensuing.
To fix, make sure the ActiveSnapshot stack entry is marked with
the same subtransaction nesting level as the associated Portal.
It's certainly safe to do so since we won't be here at all unless
the stack is empty; hence we can't create an out-of-order stack.
Let's also apply this logic in the case where PortalRunUtility
sets portalSnapshot, just to be sure that path can't cause similar
problems. It's slightly less clear that that path can't create
an out-of-order stack, so add an assertion guarding it.

Before commit 84f5c2908, a STABLE function in a plpgsql CALL
statement's argument list would see an up-to-date snapshot,
because exec_stmt_call would push a new snapshot. I got rid of
that because the possibility of the snapshot disappearing within
COMMIT made it too hard to manage a snapshot across the CALL
statement. That's fine so far as the procedure itself goes,
but I forgot to think about the possibility of STABLE functions
within the CALL argument list. As things now stand, those'll
be executed with the Portal's snapshot as ActiveSnapshot,
keeping them from seeing updates more recent than Portal startup.
(VOLATILE functions don't have a problem because they take their
own snapshots; which indeed is also why the procedure itself
doesn't have a problem. There are no STABLE procedures.)
We can fix this by pushing a new snapshot transiently within
ExecuteCallStmt itself. Popping the snapshot before we get
into the procedure proper eliminates the management problem.
The possibly-useless extra snapshot-grab is slightly annoying,
but it's no worse than what happened before 84f5c2908.

Ordinarily, using EXIT this way would draw "control reached end of
function without RETURN". However, if the function is one where we
don't require an explicit RETURN (such as a DO block), that should
not happen. It did anyway, because add_dummy_return() neglected to
account for the case.

This switches the default ACL to what the documentation has recommended
since CVE-2018-1058. Upgrades will carry forward any old ownership and
ACL. Sites that declined the 2018 recommendation should take a fresh

Improve two places in plpgsql, and one in spi.c, where an error
message would confusingly tell you that you couldn't use a SELECT
query, when what you had written *was* a SELECT query. The actual
problem is that you can't use SELECT ... INTO in these contexts,
but the messages failed to make that apparent. Special-case
SELECT INTO to make these errors more helpful.
Also, fix the same spots in plpgsql, as well as several messages
in exec_eval_expr(), to not quote the entire complained-of query or
expression in the primary error message. That behavior very easily
led to violating our message style guideline about keeping the primary
error message short and single-line. Also, since the important part
of the message was after the inserted text, it could make the real
problem very hard to see. We can report the query or expression as
the first line of errcontext instead.
Per complaint from Roger Mason. Back-patch to v14, since (a) some
of these messages are new in v14 and (b) v14's translatable strings
are still somewhat in flux. The problem's older than that of
course, but I'm hesitant to change the behavior further back.

If an error was raised during our initial attempt to check whether
a successfully-compiled expression is "simple", subsequent calls of
exec_stmt_execsql would suppose that stmt->mod_stmt was already computed
when it had not been. This could lead to assertion failures in debug
builds; in production builds the effect would typically be to act as
if INTO STRICT had been specified even when it had not been. Of course
that only matters if the subsequent attempt to execute the expression
succeeds, so that the problem can only be reached by fixing a failure
in some referenced, inline-able SQL function and then retrying the
calling plpgsql function in the same session.
(There might be even-more-obscure ways to change the expression's
behavior without changing the plpgsql function, but that one seems
like the only one people would be likely to hit in practice.)
The most foolproof way to fix this would be to arrange for
exec_prepare_plan to not set expr->plan until we've finished the
subsidiary simple-expression check. But it seems hard to do that
without creating reference-count leak issues. So settle for documenting
the hazard in a comment and fixing exec_stmt_execsql to test separately
for whether it's computed stmt->mod_stmt. (That adds a test-and-branch
per execution, but hopefully that's negligible in context.) In v11 and
up, also fix exec_stmt_call which had a variant of the same issue.

Commits 84f5c2908 et al missed the need to cover plpgsql's "simple
expression" code path. If the first thing we execute after a
COMMIT/ROLLBACK is one of those, rather than a full-fledged SPI command,
we must explicitly do EnsurePortalSnapshotExists() to make sure we have
an outer snapshot. Note that it wouldn't be good enough to just push a
snapshot for the duration of the expression execution: what comes back
might be toasted, so we'd better have a snapshot protecting it.
The test case demonstrating this fact cheats a bit by marking a SQL
function immutable even though it fetches from a table. That's
nothing that users haven't been seen to do, though.

Commit 2453ea142 redefined pg_proc.proargtypes to include the types of
OUT parameters, for procedures only. While that had some advantages
for implementing the SQL-spec behavior of DROP PROCEDURE, it was pretty
disastrous from a number of other perspectives. Notably, since the
primary key of pg_proc is name + proargtypes, this made it possible to
have multiple procedures with identical names + input arguments and
differing output argument types. That would make it impossible to call
any one of the procedures by writing just NULL (or "?", or any other
data-type-free notation) for the output argument(s). The change also
seems likely to cause grave confusion for client applications that
examine pg_proc and expect the traditional definition of proargtypes.
Hence, revert the definition of proargtypes to what it was, and
undo a number of complications that had been added to support that.
To support the SQL-spec behavior of DROP PROCEDURE, when there are
no argmode markers in the command's parameter list, we perform the
lookup both ways (that is, matching against both proargtypes and
proallargtypes), succeeding if we get just one unique match.
In principle this could result in ambiguous-function failures
that would not happen when using only one of the two rules.
However, overloading of procedure names is thought to be a pretty
rare usage, so this shouldn't cause many problems in practice.
Postgres-specific code such as pg_dump can defend against any
possibility of such failures by being careful to specify argmodes
for all procedure arguments.
This also fixes a few other bugs in the area of CALL statements
with named parameters, and improves the documentation a little.
catversion bump forced because the representation of procedures
with OUT arguments changes.

Further thought about bug #17050 suggests that it's a good idea
to use CURSOR_OPT_NO_SCROLL for the implicit cursor opened by
a plpgsql FOR-over-query loop. This ensures that, if somebody
commits inside the loop, PersistHoldablePortal won't try to
rewind and re-read the cursor. While we'd have selected NO_SCROLL
anyway if FOR UPDATE/SHARE appears in the query, there are other
hazards with volatile functions; and in any case, it's silly to
expend effort storing rows that we know for certain won't be needed.
(While here, improve the comment in exec_run_select, which was a bit
confused about the rationale for when we can use parallel mode.
Cursor operations aren't a hazard for nameless portals.)
This wasn't an issue until v11, which introduced the possibility
of persisting such cursors. Hence, back-patch to v11.

PersistHoldablePortal has long assumed that it should store the
entire output of the query-to-be-persisted, which requires rewinding
and re-reading the output. This is problematic if the query is not
stable: we might get different row contents, or even a different
number of rows, which'd confuse the cursor state mightily.
In the case where the cursor is NO SCROLL, this is very easy to
solve: just store the remaining query output, without any rewinding,
and tweak the portal's cursor state to match. Aside from removing
the semantic problem, this could be significantly more efficient
than storing the whole output.
If the cursor is scrollable, there's not much we can do, but it
was already the case that scrolling a volatile query's result was
pretty unsafe. We can just document more clearly that getting
correct results from that is not guaranteed.
There are already prohibitions in place on using SCROLL with
FOR UPDATE/SHARE, which is one way for a SELECT query to have
non-stable results. We could imagine prohibiting SCROLL when
the query contains volatile functions, but that would be
expensive to enforce. Moreover, it could break applications
that work just fine, if they have functions that are in fact
stable but the user neglected to mark them so. So settle for
documenting the hazard.
While this problem has existed in some guise for a long time,
it got a lot worse in v11, which introduced the possibility
of persisting plpgsql cursors (perhaps implicit ones) even
when they violate the rules for what can be marked WITH HOLD.
Hence, I've chosen to back-patch to v11 but not further.

In the wake of 84f5c2908, it's no longer necessary for plpgsql to
handle SET/RESET specially. The point of that was just to avoid
taking a new transaction snapshot prematurely, which the regular code
path through _SPI_execute_plan() now does just fine (in fact better,
since it now does the right thing for LOCK too). Hence, rip out a
few lines of code, going back to the old way of treating SET/RESET
as a generic SQL command. This essentially reverts all but the
test cases from b981275b6.

COMMIT/ROLLBACK necessarily destroys all snapshots within the session.
The original implementation of intra-procedure transactions just
cavalierly did that, ignoring the fact that this left us executing in
a rather different environment than normal. In particular, it turns
out that handling of toasted datums depends rather critically on there
being an outer ActiveSnapshot: otherwise, when SPI or the core
executor pop whatever snapshot they used and return, it's unsafe to
dereference any toasted datums that may appear in the query result.
It's possible to demonstrate "no known snapshots" and "missing chunk
number N for toast value" errors as a result of this oversight.
Historically this outer snapshot has been held by the Portal code,
and that seems like a good plan to preserve. So add infrastructure
to pquery.c to allow re-establishing the Portal-owned snapshot if it's
not there anymore, and add enough bookkeeping support that we can tell
whether it is or not.
We can't, however, just re-establish the Portal snapshot as part of
COMMIT/ROLLBACK. As in normal transaction start, acquiring the first
snapshot should wait until after SET and LOCK commands. Hence, teach
spi.c about doing this at the right time. (Note that this patch
doesn't fix the problem for any PLs that try to run intra-procedure
transactions without using SPI to execute SQL commands.)
This makes SPI's no_snapshots parameter rather a misnomer, so in HEAD,
rename that to allow_nonatomic.
replication/logical/worker.c also needs some fixes, because it wasn't
careful to hold a snapshot open around AFTER trigger execution.
That code doesn't use a Portal, which I suspect someday we're gonna
have to fix. But for now, just rearrange the order of operations.
This includes back-patching the recent addition of finish_estate()
to centralize the cleanup logic there.
This also back-patches commit 2ecfeda3e into v13, to improve the
test coverage for worker.c (it was that test that exposed that
worker.c's snapshot management is wrong).
Per bug #15990 from Andreas Wicht. Back-patch to v11 where

exec_for_query() normally tries to prefetch a few rows at a time
from the query being iterated over, so as to reduce executor
entry/exit overhead. Unfortunately this is unsafe if we have
COMMIT or ROLLBACK within the loop, because there might be
TOAST references in the data that we prefetched but haven't
yet examined. Immediately after the COMMIT/ROLLBACK, we have
no snapshots in the session, meaning that VACUUM is at liberty
to remove recently-deleted TOAST rows.
This was originally reported as a case triggering the "no known
snapshots" error in init_toast_snapshot(), but even if you miss
hitting that, you can get "missing toast chunk", as illustrated
by the added isolation test case.
To fix, just disable prefetching in non-atomic contexts. Maybe
there will be performance complaints prompting us to work harder
later, but it's not clear at the moment that this really costs
much, and I doubt we'd want to back-patch any complicated fix.
In passing, adjust that error message in init_toast_snapshot()
to be a little clearer about the likely cause of the problem.
Patch by me, based on earlier investigation by Konstantin Knizhnik.

Previously, get_cached_rowtype() cached a pointer to a reference-counted
tuple descriptor from the typcache, relying on the ExprContextCallback
mechanism to release the tupdesc refcount when the expression tree
using the tupdesc was destroyed. This worked fine when it was designed,
but the introduction of within-DO-block COMMITs broke it. The refcount
is logged in a transaction-lifespan resource owner, but plpgsql won't
destroy simple expressions made within the DO block (before its first
commit) until the DO block is exited. That results in a warning about
a leaked tupdesc refcount when the COMMIT destroys the original resource
owner, and then an error about the active resource owner not holding a
matching refcount when the expression is destroyed.
To fix, get rid of the need to have a shutdown callback at all, by
instead caching a pointer to the relevant typcache entry. Those
survive for the life of the backend, so we needn't worry about the
pointer becoming stale. (For registered RECORD types, we can still
cache a pointer to the tupdesc, knowing that it won't change for the
life of the backend.) This mechanism has been in use in plpgsql
and expandedrecord.c since commit 4b93f5799, and seems to work well.
This change requires modifying the ExprEvalStep structs used by the
relevant expression step types, which is slightly worrisome for
back-patching. However, there seems no good reason for extensions
to be familiar with the details of these particular sub-structs.
Per report from Rohit Bhogate. Back-patch to v11 where within-DO-block

SPI_execute_with_receiver and SPI_cursor_parse_open_with_paramlist are
new in v14 (cf. commit 2f48ede08). Before they can get out the door,
let's change their APIs to follow the practice recently established by
SPI_prepare_extended etc: shove all optional arguments into a struct
that callers are supposed to pre-zero. The hope is to allow future
addition of more options without either API breakage or a continuing
proliferation of new SPI entry points. With that in mind, choose
slightly more generic names for them: SPI_execute_extended and
SPI_cursor_parse_open respectively.

For obscure reasons, some buildfarm members are now generating
complaints about plpgsql_call_handler's "retval" variable possibly
being used uninitialized. It seems no less safe than it was before
that commit, but these complaints are (mostly?) new. I trust that
initializing the variable where it's declared will be enough to
shut that up.
I also notice that some compilers are warning about setjmp clobber
of the same variable, which is maybe a bit more defensible. Mark
it volatile to silence that.
Also, rearrange the logic to give procedure_resowner a single
point of initialization, in hopes of silencing some setjmp-clobber
warnings about that. (Marking it volatile would serve too, but
its sibling variables are depending on single assignment, so let's
stick with that method.)

This patch essentially is cleaning up technical debt left behind
by the original implementation of plpgsql procedures, particularly
commit d92bc83c4. That patch (or more precisely, follow-on patches
fixing its worst bugs) forced us to re-plan CALL and DO statements
each time through, if we're in a non-atomic context. That wasn't
for any fundamental reason, but just because use of a saved plan
requires having a ResourceOwner to hold a reference count for the
plan, and we had no suitable resowner at hand, nor would the
available APIs support using one if we did. While it's not that
expensive to create a "plan" for CALL/DO, the cycles do add up
in repeated executions.
This patch therefore makes the following API changes:
* GetCachedPlan/ReleaseCachedPlan are modified to let the caller
specify which resowner to use to pin the plan, rather than forcing
use of CurrentResourceOwner.
* spi.c gains a "SPI_execute_plan_extended" entry point that lets
callers say which resowner to use to pin the plan. This borrows the
idea of an options struct from the recently added SPI_prepare_extended,
hopefully allowing future options to be added without more API breaks.
This supersedes SPI_execute_plan_with_paramlist (which I've marked
deprecated) as well as SPI_execute_plan_with_receiver (which is new
in v14, so I just took it out altogether).
* I also took the opportunity to remove the crude hack of letting
plpgsql reach into SPI private data structures to mark SPI plans as
"no_snapshot". It's better to treat that as an option of
SPI_prepare_extended.
Now, when running a non-atomic procedure or DO block that contains
any CALL or DO commands, plpgsql creates a ResourceOwner that
will be used to pin the plans of the CALL/DO commands. (In an
atomic context, we just use CurrentResourceOwner, as before.)
Having done this, we can just save CALL/DO plans normally,
whether or not they are used across transaction boundaries.
This seems to be good for something like 2X speedup of a CALL
of a trivial procedure with a few simple argument expressions.
By restricting the creation of an extra ResourceOwner like this,
there's essentially zero penalty in cases that can't benefit.

Commit c9d529848 resulted in having a couple more places where
the error context stack for a failure varies depending on
debug_invalidate_system_caches_always (nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS).
This is not very surprising, since we have to re-parse cached
plans if the plan cache is clobbered. Stabilize the expected
test output by hiding the context stack in these places,
as we've done elsewhere in this test script.
(Another idea worth considering, now that we have
debug_invalidate_system_caches_always, is to force it to zero for
these test cases. That seems like it'd risk reducing the coverage
of cache-clobber testing, which might or might not be worth being
able to verify that we get the expected error output in normal
cases. For the moment I just stuck with the existing technique.)
In passing, update comments that referred to CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.

Performance issues with the preceding patch to re-implement array
element assignment within pl/pgsql led me to realize that the read/write
parameter mechanism is misdesigned. Instead of requiring the assignment
source expression to be such that *all* its references to the target
variable could be passed as R/W, we really want to identify *one*
reference to the target variable to be passed as R/W, allowing any other
ones to be passed read/only as they would be by default. As long as the
R/W reference is a direct argument to the top-level (hence last to be
executed) function in the expression, there is no harm in R/O references
being passed to other lower parts of the expression. Nor is there any
use-case for more than one argument of the top-level function being R/W.
Hence, rewrite that logic to identify one single Param that references
the target variable, and make only that Param pass a read/write
reference, not any other Params referencing the target variable.

In the wake of the previous commit, we don't really need this anymore,
since array assignment is primarily handled by the core code.
The only way that that code could still be reached is that a GET
DIAGNOSTICS target variable could be an array element. But that
doesn't seem like a particularly essential feature. I'd added it
in commit 55caaaeba, but just because it was easy not because
anyone had actually asked for it. Hence, revert that patch and
then remove the now-unreachable stuff. (If we really had to,
we could probably reimplement GET DIAGNOSTICS using the new
assignment machinery; but the cost/benefit ratio looks very poor,
and it'd likely be a bit slower.)
Note that PLPGSQL_DTYPE_RECFIELD remains. It's possible that we
could get rid of that too, but maintaining the existing behaviors
for RECORD-type variables seems like it might be difficult. Since
there's not any functional limitation in those code paths as there
was in the ARRAYELEM code, I've not pursued the idea.

Invent new RawParseModes that allow the core grammar to handle
pl/pgsql expressions and assignments directly, and thereby get rid
of a lot of hackery in pl/pgsql's parser. This moves a good deal
of knowledge about pl/pgsql into the core code: notably, we have to
invent a CoercionContext that matches pl/pgsql's (rather dubious)
historical behavior for assignment coercions. That's getting away
from the original idea of pl/pgsql as an arm's-length extension of
the core, but really we crossed that bridge a long time ago.
The main advantage of doing this is that we can now use the core
parser to generate FieldStore and/or SubscriptingRef nodes to handle
assignments to pl/pgsql variables that are records or arrays. That
fixes a number of cases that had never been implemented in pl/pgsql
assignment, such as nested records and array slicing, and it allows
pl/pgsql assignment to support the datatype-specific subscripting
behaviors introduced in commit c7aba7c14.
There are cosmetic benefits too: when a syntax error occurs in a
pl/pgsql expression, the error report no longer includes the confusing
"SELECT" keyword that used to get prefixed to the expression text.
Also, there seem to be some small speed gains.

This patch essentially allows gram.y to implement a family of related
syntax trees, rather than necessarily always parsing a list of SQL
statements. raw_parser() gains a new argument, enum RawParseMode,
to say what to do. As proof of concept, add a mode that just parses
a TypeName without any other decoration, and use that to greatly
simplify typeStringToTypeName().
In addition, invent a new SPI entry point SPI_prepare_extended() to
allow SPI users (particularly plpgsql) to get at this new functionality.
In hopes of making this the last variant of SPI_prepare(), set up its
additional arguments as a struct rather than direct arguments, and
promise that future additions to the struct can default to zero.
SPI_prepare_cursor() and SPI_prepare_params() can perhaps go away at
some point.

There's a second call of get_eval_mcontext() that should also be
get_stmt_mcontext(). This is actually dead code, since no
interesting allocations happen before switching back to the
original context, but we should keep it in sync with the other
call to forestall possible future bugs.

Commit a6b1f5365 intended to place the transient "target" list of
a CALL statement in the function's statement-lifespan context,
but I fat-fingered that and used get_eval_mcontext() instead of
get_stmt_mcontext(). The eval_mcontext belongs to the "simple
expression" infrastructure, which is destroyed at transaction end.
The net effect is that a CALL in a procedure to another procedure
that has OUT or INOUT parameters would fail if the called procedure
did a COMMIT.
Per report from Peter Eisentraut. Back-patch to v11, like the
prior patch.

Multiranges are basically sorted arrays of non-overlapping ranges with
set-theoretic operations defined over them.
Since v14, each range type automatically gets a corresponding multirange
datatype. There are both manual and automatic mechanisms for naming multirange
types. Once can specify multirange type name using multirange_type_name
attribute in CREATE TYPE. Otherwise, a multirange type name is generated
automatically. If the range type name contains "range" then we change that to
"multirange". Otherwise, we add "_multirange" to the end.
Implementation of multiranges comes with a space-efficient internal
representation format, which evades extra paddings and duplicated storage of
oids. Altogether this format allows fetching a particular range by its index
in O(n).
Statistic gathering and selectivity estimation are implemented for multiranges.
For this purpose, stored multirange is approximated as union range without gaps.
This field will likely need improvements in the future.
Catversion is bumped.

Invent a new flag bit HASH_STRINGS to specify C-string hashing, which
was formerly the default; and add assertions insisting that exactly
one of the bits HASH_STRINGS, HASH_BLOBS, and HASH_FUNCTION be set.
This is in hopes of preventing recurrences of the type of oversight
fixed in commit a1b8aa1e4 (i.e., mistakenly omitting HASH_BLOBS).
Also, when HASH_STRINGS is specified, insist that the keysize be
more than 8 bytes. This is a heuristic, but it should catch
accidental use of HASH_STRINGS for integer or pointer keys.
(Nearly all existing use-cases set the keysize to NAMEDATALEN or
more, so there's little reason to think this restriction should
be problematic.)
Tweak hash_create() to insist that the HASH_ELEM flag be set, and
remove the defaults it had for keysize and entrysize. Since those
defaults were undocumented and basically useless, no callers
omitted HASH_ELEM anyway.
Also, remove memset's zeroing the HASHCTL parameter struct from
those callers that had one. This has never been really necessary,
and while it wasn't a bad coding convention it was confusing that
some callers did it and some did not. We might as well save a few
cycles by standardizing on "not".
Also improve the documentation for hash_create().
In passing, improve reinit.c's usage of a hash table by storing
the key as a binary Oid rather than a string; and, since that's
a temporary hash table, allocate it in CurrentMemoryContext for
neatness.

This patch generalizes the subscripting infrastructure so that any
data type can be subscripted, if it provides a handler function to
define what that means. Traditional variable-length (varlena) arrays
all use array_subscript_handler(), while the existing fixed-length
types that support subscripting use raw_array_subscript_handler().
It's expected that other types that want to use subscripting notation
will define their own handlers. (This patch provides no such new
features, though; it only lays the foundation for them.)
To do this, move the parser's semantic processing of subscripts
(including coercion to whatever data type is required) into a
method callback supplied by the handler. On the execution side,
replace the ExecEvalSubscriptingRef* layer of functions with direct
calls to callback-supplied execution routines. (Thus, essentially
no new run-time overhead should be caused by this patch. Indeed,
there is room to remove some overhead by supplying specialized
execution routines. This patch does a little bit in that line,
but more could be done.)
Additional work is required here and there to remove formerly
hard-wired assumptions about the result type, collation, etc
of a SubscriptingRef expression node; and to remove assumptions
that the subscript values must be integers.
One useful side-effect of this is that we now have a less squishy
mechanism for identifying whether a data type is a "true" array:
instead of wiring in weird rules about typlen, we can look to see
if pg_type.typsubscript == F_ARRAY_SUBSCRIPT_HANDLER. For this
to be bulletproof, we have to forbid user-defined types from using
that handler directly; but there seems no good reason for them to
do so.
This patch also removes assumptions that the number of subscripts
is limited to MAXDIM (6), or indeed has any hard-wired limit.
That limit still applies to types handled by array_subscript_handler
or raw_array_subscript_handler, but to discourage other dependencies
on this constant, I've moved it from c.h to utils/array.h.

On the same reasoning as in commit 36b931214, forbid using custom
oid_symbol macros in pg_type as well as pg_proc, so that we always
rely on the predictable macro names generated by genbki.pl.
We do continue to grant grandfather status to the names CASHOID and
LSNOID, although those are now considered deprecated aliases for the
preferred names MONEYOID and PG_LSNOID. This is because there's
likely to be client-side code using the old names, and this bout of
neatnik-ism doesn't quite seem worth breaking client code.
There might be a case for grandfathering EVTTRIGGEROID, too, since
externally-maintained PLs may reference that symbol. But renaming
such references to EVENT_TRIGGEROID doesn't seem like a particularly
heavy lift --- we make far more significant backend API changes in
every major release. For now I didn't add that, but we could
reconsider if there's pushback.
The other names changed here seem pretty unlikely to have any outside
uses. Again, we could add alias macros if there are complaints, but
for now I didn't.
As before, no need for a catversion bump.

A number of places were using appendStringInfo() when they could have been
using appendStringInfoString() instead. While there's no functionality
change there, it's just more efficient to use appendStringInfoString()
when no formatting is required. Likewise for some
appendStringInfoString() calls which were just appending a single char.
We can just use appendStringInfoChar() for that.
Additionally, many places were using appendPQExpBuffer() when they could
have used appendPQExpBufferStr(). Change those too.
Patch by Zhijie Hou, but further searching by me found significantly more
places that deserved the same treatment.

When executing a CALL or DO in a non-atomic context (i.e., not inside
a function or query), plpgsql creates a new plan each time through,
as a rather hacky solution to some resource management issues. But
it failed to free this plan until exit of the current procedure or DO
block, resulting in serious memory bloat in procedures that called
other procedures many times. Fix by remembering to free the plan,
and by being more honest about restoring the previous state (otherwise,
recursive procedure calls have a problem).
There was also a smaller leak associated with recalculation of the
"target" list of output variables. Fix that by using the statement-
lifespan context to hold non-permanent values.
Back-patch to v11 where procedures were introduced.

The standard order in PostgreSQL and other code is use strict first,
but some code was uselessly inconsistent about this.
|
|
Adjust the whitespace in the emitted files so that it matches
what pgindent would do. This makes the generated files look
like they match project style, and avoids confusion if someone
does run pgindent on the generated files.
Also, add probes.h to pgindent's exclusion list, because it can
confuse pgindent, plus there's not much point in processing it.
