examine_simple_variable supposed that any RTE_SUBQUERY rel it gets pointed
at must have been planned already. However, this isn't a safe assumption
because we must do selectivity estimation while generating indexscan paths,
and that code might look at join clauses involving a rel that the loop in
set_base_rel_sizes() hasn't reached yet. The simplest fix is to play dumb
in such a situation, that is give up trying to extract any stats for the
Var. This could possibly be improved by making a separate pass over the
RTE list to plan each unflattened subquery before we start the main
planning work --- but that would be pretty invasive and it doesn't seem
worth it, for now at least. (We couldn't just break set_base_rel_sizes()
into two loops: the prescan would need to handle all subquery rels in the
query, not only those in the current join subproblem.)
This bug was introduced in commit 1cb108efb0,
although I think that subsequent changes may have exposed it more than it
was originally. Per bug #7580 from Maxim Boguk.
Apparently this was considered in the original code (see commit
cec3b0a9) but I failed to notice that such entries would always be
skipped by the database check at the start of the loop.

On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common
practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory. Hack our
various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size
request of 1. This is probably not so important for the callers, who
should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's
important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated
the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure. This broke at least pg_dump
for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from
Matthew Carrington.
Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue. Given the lack of previous
complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases,
even though some of these functions were in place before that.
Instead of having each object type implement the catalog munging
independently, centralize knowledge about how to do it and expand the
existing table in objectaddress.c with enough data about each object
type to support this operation.

We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the
majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all. Standardize on the
names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup. Get rid of pg_calloc
entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0.
This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch. (I did find
a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or
strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant
enough to bother back-patching.)

timeval.t_sec is of type time_t, which is not always compatible with long.
I'm not sure if this was just harmless warning or a real bug, but this
fixes it, anyway.
This is just refactoring, to make the functions accessible outside xlog.c.
A followup patch will make use of that, to allow fetching timeline history
files over streaming replication.
The error messages they generate are not portable enough.
Also, since the only point of the alter_generic_1 expected file was to
cover platforms with no collation support, it's now useless, so remove
it.
On reflection (especially after noticing how many buildfarm critters have
__builtin_types_compatible_p but not _Static_assert), it seems like we
ought to try a bit harder to make these macros do something everywhere.
The initial cut at it would have been no help to code that is compiled only
on platforms without _Static_assert, for instance; and in any case not all
our contributors do their initial coding on the latest gcc version.
Some googling about static assertions turns up quite a bit of prior art
for making it work in compilers that lack _Static_assert. The method
that seems closest to our needs involves defining a struct with a bit-field
that has negative width if the assertion condition fails. There seems no
reliable way to get the error message string to be output, but throwing a
compile error with a confusing message is better than missing the problem
altogether.
In the same spirit, if we don't have __builtin_types_compatible_p we can at
least insist that the variable have the same width as the type. This won't
catch errors such as "wrong pointer type", but it's far better than
nothing.
In addition to changing the macro definitions, adjust a
compile-time-constant Assert in contrib/hstore to use StaticAssertStmt,
so we can get some buildfarm coverage on whether that macro behaves sanely
or not. There's surely more places that could be converted, but this is
the first one I came across.
Currently, the macros only work with fairly recent gcc versions, but there
is room to expand them to other compilers that have comparable features.
Heavily revised and autoconfiscated version of a patch by Andres Freund.
The tar output module did some very ugly and ultimately incorrect hacking
on COPY commands to try to get them to work in the context of restoring a
deconstructed tar archive. In particular, it would fail altogether for
table names containing any upper-case characters, since it smashed the
command string to lower-case before modifying it (and, just to add insult
to injury, did that in a way that would fail in multibyte encodings).
I don't see any particular value in being flexible about the case of the
command keywords, since the string will just have been created by
dumpTableData, so let's get rid of the whole case-folding thing.
Also, it doesn't seem to meet the POLA for the script to restore data only
in COPY mode, so add \i commands to make it have comparable behavior in
--inserts mode.
Noted while looking at the tar-output code in connection with Brian
Weaver's patch.
The original only expected file failed to consider machines without
non-default collation support. Per buildfarm.
Also, move the test to another parallel group; the one it was originally
put in is already full according to comments in the schedule file. Per
note from Tom Lane.
Both programs got the "magic" string wrong, causing standard-conforming tar
implementations to believe the output was just legacy tar format without
any POSIX extensions. This doesn't actually matter that much, especially
since pg_dump failed to fill the POSIX fields anyway, but still there is
little point in emitting tar format if we can't be compliant with the
standard. In addition, pg_dump failed to write the EOF marker correctly
(there should be 2 blocks of zeroes not just one), pg_basebackup put the
numeric group ID in the wrong place, and both programs had a pretty
brain-dead idea of how to compute the checksum. Fix all that and improve
the comments a bit.
pg_restore is modified to accept either the correct POSIX-compliant "magic"
string or the previous value. This part of the change will need to be
back-patched to avoid an unnecessary compatibility break when a previous
version tries to read tar-format output from 9.3 pg_dump.

This fixes another error in commit 9e8da0f757.
I neglected to make the mark/restore functionality save and restore the
current set of array key values, which led to strange behavior if an
IndexScan with ScalarArrayOpExpr quals was used as the inner side of a
mergejoin. Per bug #7570 from Melese Tesfaye.
This worked fine for superusers, but not for ordinary users trying to
cancel their own processes. Tweak the order the checks are done in so
that we correctly return SIGNAL_BACKEND_ERROR (which current callers
know to ignore without erroring out) so that an ordinary user can loop
through a resultset without fearing that a process might exit in the
middle of said looping -- causing the remaining processes to go
unsignalled.
Incidentally, the last in-core caller of IsBackendPid() is now gone.
However, the function is exported and must remain in place, because
there are plenty of callers in external modules.

This script is a bit slow, but still it only takes a fraction of the time
the bison run does, so the overhead doesn't seem intolerable. And we
definitely need some mechanical aid here, because people keep missing
the need to add new keywords to the appropriate keyword-list production.
While at it, I moved check_keywords.pl from src/tools into
src/backend/parser where it's actually used, and did some very minor
cleanup on the script.
There were assorted places where unreserved keywords were not treated the
same as T_WORD (that is, a random unrecognized identifier). Fix them.
It might not always be possible to allow this, but it is in all these
places, so I don't see any downside.
Per gripe from Jim Wilson. Arguably this is a bug fix, but given the lack
of other complaints and the ease of working around it (just quote the
word), I won't risk back-patching.
Once again, somebody who ought to know better forgot this. We really
need some automated cross-check on the keyword-list productions, I think.

The previous scheme had bugs in some corner cases involving tables that had
been renamed since a view was made. This could result in dumped views that
failed to reload or reloaded incorrectly, as seen in bug #7553 from Lloyd
Albin, as well as in some pgsql-hackers discussion back in January. Also,
its behavior for printing EXPLAIN plans was sometimes confusing because of
willingness to use the same alias for multiple RTEs (it was Ashutosh
Bapat's complaint about that aspect that started the January thread).
To fix, ensure that each RTE in the query has a unique unqualified alias,
by modifying the alias if necessary (we add "_" and digits as needed to
create a non-conflicting name). Then we can just print its variables with
that alias, avoiding the confusing and bug-prone scheme of sometimes
schema-qualifying variable names. In EXPLAIN, it proves to be expedient to
take the further step of only assigning such aliases to RTEs that are
actually referenced in the query, since the planner has a habit of
generating extra RTEs with the same alias in situations such as
inheritance-tree expansion.
Although this fixes a bug of very long standing, I'm hesitant to back-patch
such a noticeable behavioral change. My experiments while creating a
regression test convinced me that actually incorrect output (as opposed to
confusing output) occurs only in very narrow cases, which is backed up by
the lack of previous complaints from the field. So we may be better off
living with it in released branches; and in any case it'd be smart to let
this ripen awhile in HEAD before we consider back-patching it.
