from old versions of gcc. It's not clear to me that this is really
necessary for correctness, but less warnings are always good.
Per buildfarm results and local testing.
It removes last remaining casts inside struct definitions.
Such usage is bad practice, as it hides problems from compiler.
Reason for the cast is popular practice in some circles
to define functions as foo(MyObj *) instead of foo(PyObject *)
thus avoiding a local variable inside functions and make
direct calling easier. As pl/python does not use such style,
the casts were unnecessary from the start.

keeping private state in each backend that has inserted and deleted the same
tuple during its current top-level transaction. This is sufficient since
there is no need to be able to determine the cmin/cmax from any other
transaction. This gets us back down to 23-byte headers, removing a penalty
paid in 8.0 to support subtransactions. Patch by Heikki Linnakangas, with
minor revisions by moi, following a design hashed out awhile back on the
pghackers list.
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."
Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
python 2.5. This involves fixing several violations of the published
spec for creating PyTypeObjects, and adding another regression test
expected output for yet another variation of error message spelling.
Fix all the standard PLs to be able to return tuples from FOO_RETURNING
statements as well as utility statements that return tuples. Also,
fix oversight that SPI_processed wasn't set for a utility statement
returning tuples. Per recent discussion.
loaded libraries: call functions _PG_init() and _PG_fini() if the library
defines such symbols. Hence we no longer need to specify an initialization
function in preload_libraries: we can assume that the library used the
_PG_init() convention, instead. This removes one source of pilot error
in use of preloaded libraries. Original patch by Ralf Engelschall,
preload_libraries changes by me.
Studio 2005. Basically MS defined errcode in the headers with a typedef,
so we have to #define it out of the way.
While at it, fix a function declaration in plpython that didn't match
the implementation (volatile missing).

After updating to the latest cvs, and also building most of the addons
(like PLs), the following patch is neededf for win32 + Visual C++.
* Switch to use the new win32 semaphore code
* Rename win32_open to pgwin32_open. win32_open collides with symbols
defined in Perl. MingW didn't detect ig, MSVC did. And it's a bit too
generic a name to export globally, imho...
* Python defines some partially broken #pragmas in the headers when
doing a debug build. Workaround.

by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time
ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving
lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is
only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need
to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go
away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context.

functions are not strict, they will be called (passing a NULL first parameter)
during any attempt to input a NULL value of their datatype. Currently, all
our input functions are strict and so this commit does not change any
behavior. However, this will make it possible to build domain input functions
that centralize checking of domain constraints, thereby closing numerous holes
in our domain support, as per previous discussion.
While at it, I took the opportunity to introduce convenience functions
InputFunctionCall, OutputFunctionCall, etc to use in code that calls I/O
functions. This eliminates a lot of grotty-looking casts, but the main
motivation is to make it easier to grep for these places if we ever need
to touch them again.
during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages.
This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic
infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors
involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could
be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also
moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq,
which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this
is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.
more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).
(I didn't use his patch, however). A void-returning PL/Python function
must return None (from Python), which is translated into a void datum
(and *not* NULL) for Postgres. I also added some regression tests for
this functionality.
in leaking memory when invoking a PL/Python procedure that raises an
exception. Unfortunately this still leaks memory, but at least the
largest leak has been plugged.
This patch also fixes a reference counting mistake in PLy_modify_tuple()
for 8.0, 8.1 and HEAD: we don't actually own a reference to `platt', so
we shouldn't Py_DECREF() it.
one argument at a time and then inserting the argument into a Python
list via PyList_SetItem(). This "steals" the reference to the argument:
that is, the reference to the new list member is now held by the Python
list itself. This works fine, except if an elog occurs. This causes the
function's PG_CATCH() block to be invoked, which decrements the
reference counts on both the current argument and the list of arguments.
If the elog happens to occur during the second or subsequent iteration
of the loop, the reference count on the current argument will be
decremented twice.
The fix is simple: set the local pointer to the current argument to NULL
immediately after adding it to the argument list. This ensures that the
Py_XDECREF() in the PG_CATCH() block doesn't double-decrement.
- use "bool" rather than "int" for boolean variables
- use "PLy_malloc" rather than "malloc" in two places
- define "PLy_strdup", and use it rather than malloc() + strcpy() in
two places (which should have been memcpy(), anyway).
- remove a bunch of redundant parentheses from expressions that do not
need the parentheses for code clarity
when a plpython function returns unicode" thread:

In several places PL/Python was calling PyObject_Str() and then
PyString_AsString() without checking if the former had returned
NULL to indicate an error. PyString_AsString() doesn't expect a
NULL argument, so passing one causes a segmentation fault. This
patch adds checks for NULL and raises errors via PLy_elog(), which
prints details of the underlying Python exception. The patch also
adds regression tests for these checks. All tests pass on my
Solaris 9 box running HEAD and Python 2.4.1.
In one place the patch doesn't call PLy_elog() because that could
cause infinite recursion; see the comment I added. I'm not sure
how to test that particular case or whether it's even possible to
get an error there: the value that the code should check is the
Python exception type, so I wonder if a NULL value "shouldn't
happen." This patch converts NULL to "Unknown Exception" but I
wonder if an Assert() would be appropriate.
The patch is against HEAD but the same changes should be applied
to earlier versions because they have the same problem. The patch
might not apply cleanly against earlier versions -- will the committer
take care of little differences or should I submit different versions
of the patch?

This patch allows the PL/Python module to do (SRF) functions.
The patch was taken from the CVS version.
I have modified the plpython.c file and have added a test sql script for
testing the functionality. It was actually the script that was in the
8.0.3 version but have since been removed.
In order to signal the end of a set, the called python function must
simply return plpy.EndOfSet and the set would be returned.

which is neither needed by nor related to that header. Remove the bogus
inclusion and instead include the header in those C files that actually
need it. Also fix unnecessary inclusions and bad inclusion order in
tsearch2 files.
to produce when running the executor. This is consistent with the internal
executor APIs (such as ExecutorRun), which also use a long for this purpose.
It also allows FETCH_ALL to be passed -- since FETCH_ALL is defined as
LONG_MAX, this wouldn't have worked on platforms where int and long are of
different sizes. Per report from Tzahi Fadida.
change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index,
and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and
FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value. INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded
in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header
size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not. I believe it would now be possible
to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet.
There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which
I will clean up in a separate pass. However, getting rid of it
altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct,
and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.
mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than
using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh
snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE
functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested
regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so
the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.)
As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the
same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any
action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly
nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.
