2021-07-31Use elog, not Assert, to report failure to provide an outer snapshot.Tom Lane
As of commit 84f5c2908, executing SQL commands (via SPI or otherwise) requires having either an active Portal, or a caller-established active snapshot. We were simply Assert'ing that that's the case. But we've now had a couple different reports of people testing extensions that didn't meet this requirement, and were confused by the resulting crash. Let's convert the Assert to a test-and-elog, in hopes of making the issue clearer for extension authors. Per gripes from Liu Huailing and RekGRpth. Back-patch to v11, like the prior commit.

2021-07-31Fix corner-case errors and loss of precision in numeric_power().Dean Rasheed
This fixes a couple of related problems that arise when raising numbers to very large powers. Firstly, when raising a negative number to a very large integer power, the result should be well-defined, but the previous code would only cope if the exponent was small enough to go through power_var_int(). Otherwise it would throw an internal error, attempting to take the logarithm of a negative number. Fix this by adding suitable handling to the general case in power_var() to cope with negative bases, checking for integer powers there. Next, when raising a (positive or negative) number whose absolute value is slightly less than 1 to a very large power, the result should approach zero as the power is increased. However, in some cases, for sufficiently large powers, this would lose all precision and return 1 instead of 0. This was due to the way that the local_rscale was being calculated for the final full-precision calculation: local_rscale = rscale + (int) val - ln_dweight + 8 The first two terms on the right hand side are meant to give the number of significant digits required in the result ("val" being the estimated result weight). However, this failed to account for the fact that rscale is clipped to a maximum of NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000), and the result weight might be less then -1000, causing their sum to be negative, leading to a loss of precision. Fix this by forcing the number of significant digits calculated to be nonnegative. It's OK for it to be zero (when the result weight is less than -1000), since the local_rscale value then includes a few extra digits to ensure an accurate result. Finally, add additional underflow checks to exp_var() and power_var(), so that they consistently return zero for cases like this where the result is indistinguishable from zero. Some paths through this code already returned zero in such cases, but others were throwing overflow errors. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Yugo Nagata.

2021-07-30Remove unnecessary call to ReadCheckpointRecord().Robert Haas
It should always be the case that the last checkpoint record is still readable, because otherwise, a crash would leave us in a situation from which we can't recover. Therefore the test removed by this patch should always succeed. For it to fail, either there has to be a serious bug in the code someplace, or the user has to be manually modifying pg_wal while crash recovery is running. If it's the first one, we should fix the bug. If it's the second one, they should stop, or anyway they're doing so at their own risk. In neither case does a full checkpoint instead of an end-of-recovery record seem like a clear winner. Furthermore, rarely-taken code paths are particularly vulnerable to bugs, so let's simplify by getting rid of this one.

2021-07-30postgres_fdw: Fix handling of pending asynchronous requests.Etsuro Fujita
A pending asynchronous request is handled by process_pending_request(), which previously not only processed an in-progress remote query but performed ExecForeignScan() to produce a tuple to return to the local server asynchronously from the result of the remote query. But that led to a server crash when executing a query or led to an "InstrStartNode called twice in a row" or "InstrEndLoop called on running node" failure when doing EXPLAIN ANALYZE of it, in cases where the plan tree for it contained multiple async-capable nodes accessing the same initplan/subplan that contained multiple async-capable nodes scanning the same foreign tables as for the parent async-capable nodes, as reported by Andrey Lepikhov. The reason is that the second step in process_pending_request() invoked when executing the initplan/subplan for one of the parent async-capable nodes caused recursive execution of the initplan/subplan for another of the parent async-capable nodes. To fix, split process_pending_request() into the two steps and postpone the second step until ForeignAsyncConfigureWait() is called for each of the pending asynchronous requests. Also, in ExecAppendAsyncEventWait() we assumed that FDWs would register at least one wait event in a WaitEventSet created there when they were called from ForeignAsyncConfigureWait() in that function, but allow FDWs to register zero wait events in the WaitEventSet; modify ExecAppendAsyncEventWait() to just return in that case.

2021-07-29Improve libpq's handling of OOM during error message construction.Tom Lane
Commit ffa2e4670 changed libpq so that multiple error reports occurring during one operation (a connection attempt or query) are accumulated in conn->errorMessage, where before new ones usually replaced any prior error. At least in theory, that makes us more vulnerable to running out of memory for the errorMessage buffer. If it did happen, the user would be left with just an empty-string error report, which is pretty unhelpful. We can improve this by relying on pqexpbuffer.c's existing "broken buffer" convention to track whether we've hit OOM for the current operation's error string, and then substituting a constant "out of memory" string in the small number of places where the errorMessage is read out. While at it, apply the same method to similar OOM cases in pqInternalNotice and pqGetErrorNotice3. Back-patch to v14 where ffa2e4670 came in. In principle this could go back further; but in view of the lack of field reports, the hazard seems negligible in older branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/530153.1627425648@sss.pgh.pa.us

2021-07-29Adjust MSVC build scripts to parse Makefiles for definesDavid Rowley
This adjusts the MSVC build scripts to look at the compile flags mentioned in the Makefile to look for -D arguments in order to determine which constants should be defined in Visual Studio builds. One small anomaly that appeared as a result of this change is that the Makefile for the ltree contrib module defined LOWER_NODE, but this was not properly defined in the MSVC build scripts. This meant that MSVC builds would differ in case sensitivity in the ltree module when compared to builds using a make build environment. To maintain the same behavior here we remove the -DLOWER_NODE from the Makefile and just always define it in ltree.h for non-MSVC builds. We need to maintain the old behavior here as this affects the on-disk compatibility of GiST indexes when using the ltree type. The only other resulting change here is that REFINT_VERBOSE is now defined for the autoinc, insert_username and moddatetime contrib modules. Previously on MSVC, this was only defined for the refint module. This aligns the behavior to build environments using make as all 4 of these modules share the same Makefile.

2021-07-27Use the "pg_temp" schema alias in EXPLAIN and related output.Tom Lane
This patch causes EXPLAIN output to refer to objects that are in the current session's temp schema with the "pg_temp" schema alias rather than that schema's actual name. This is useful for our own testing purposes since it will stabilize EXPLAIN VERBOSE output for such cases, allowing us to use that in regression tests. It should be less confusing for end users too. Since ruleutils.c needs to change behavior for this, the change also leaks into a few other users of ruleutils.c, for example pg_get_viewdef(). AFAICS that won't cause any problems. We did find that aggressively trying to change this behavior across-the-board would cause issues, but as long as "pg_temp" only appears within generated SQL text, I think it'll be fine. Along the way, make get_namespace_name_or_temp conform to the same API as get_namespace_name, ie that it returns a palloc'd string or NULL. The current behavior hasn't caused any bugs since no callers attempt to pfree the result, but if it gets more widespread usage that could become a problem.

strtoint(), via strtol(), would skip leading whitespaces but the same rule was not applied for trailing whitespaces, leading to an inconsistent behavior. Some tests are changed to cover more this area. Author: Michael Paquier Reviewed-by: Kyotaro Horiguchi Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/YP5Pv0d13Ct+03ve@paquier.xyz
2021-07-26Remove newly added useless assertion checkAlvaro Herrera
Coverity complained that my commit 80ba4bb38353 added a dubious coding for a consistency check that there isn't more than one row for a certain tgrelid/tgparentid combination. But we don't check for that explicitly anywhere else, and if we were to do it, it should be a full shouldn't-happen elog not just an assert. It doesn't seem that this is very important anyway, so remove it. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1337562.1627224583@sss.pgh.pa.us
