Tom Lane	4bd1994650	Make DatumGetFoo/PG_GETARG_FOO/PG_RETURN_FOO macro names more consistent. ... By project convention, these names should include "P" when dealing with a pointer type; that is, if the result of a GETARG macro is of type FOO *, it should be called PG_GETARG_FOO_P not just PG_GETARG_FOO. Some newer types such as JSONB and ranges had not followed the convention, and a number of contrib modules hadn't gotten that memo either. Rename the offending macros to improve consistency. In passing, fix a few places that thought PG_DETOAST_DATUM() returns a Datum; it does not, it returns "struct varlena *". Applying DatumGetPointer to that happens not to cause any bad effects today, but it's formally wrong. Also, adjust an ltree macro that was designed without any thought for what pgindent would do with it. This is all cosmetic and shouldn't have any impact on generated code.

Tom Lane	bebe174bb4	PL/Perl portability fix: avoid including XSUB.h in plperl.c. ... In Perl builds that define PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, XSUB.h defines macros that replace a whole lot of basic libc functions with Perl functions. We can't tolerate that in plperl.c; it breaks at least PG_TRY and probably other stuff. The core idea of this patch is to include XSUB.h only in the .xs files where it's really needed, and to move any code broken by PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS out of the .xs files and into plperl.c. The reason this hasn't been a problem before is that our build techniques did not result in PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS appearing as a #define in PL/Perl, even on some platforms where Perl thinks it is defined. That's about to change in order to fix a nasty portability issue, so we need this work to make the code safe for that. Rather unaccountably, the Perl people chose XSUB.h as the place to provide the versions of the aTHX/aTHX_ macros that are needed by code that's not explicitly aware of the MULTIPLICITY API conventions. Hence, just removing XSUB.h from plperl.c fails miserably. But we can work around that by defining PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT (which would make the relevant stanza of XSUB.h a no-op anyway). As explained in perlguts.pod, that means we need to add a "dTHX" macro call in every C function that calls a Perl API function. In most of them we just add this at the top; but since the macro fetches the current Perl interpreter pointer, more care is needed in functions that switch the active interpreter. Lack of the macro is easily recognized since it results in bleats about "my_perl" not being defined. (A nice side benefit of this is that it significantly reduces the number of fetches of the current interpreter pointer. On my machine, plperl.so gets more than 10% smaller, and there's probably some performance win too. We could reduce the number of fetches still more by decorating the code with pTHX_/aTHX_ macros to pass the interpreter pointer around, as explained by perlguts.pod; but that's a task for another day.) Formatting note: pgindent seems happy to treat "dTHX;" as a declaration so long as it's the first thing after the left brace, as we'd already observed with respect to the similar macro "dSP;". If you try to put it later in a set of declarations, pgindent puts ugly extra space around it. Having removed XSUB.h from plperl.c, we need only move the support functions for spi_return_next and util_elog (both of which use PG_TRY) out of the .xs files and into plperl.c. This seems sufficient to avoid the known problems caused by PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, although we could move more code if additional issues emerge. This will need to be back-patched, but first let's see what the buildfarm makes of it.

Tom Lane	eda04886c1	Avoid direct cross-module links in hstore_plperl and ltree_plpython, too. ... Just turning the crank on the project started in commit d51924be8. These cases turn out to be exact subsets of the boilerplate needed for hstore_plpython. Discussion: <2652.1475512158@sss.pgh.pa.us>	9 years ago
Tom Lane	68c1d7d42e	Dodge a macro-name conflict with Perl. ... Some versions of Perl export a macro named HS_KEY. This creates a conflict in contrib/hstore_plperl against hstore's macro of the same name. The most future-proof solution seems to be to rename our macro; I chose HSTORE_KEY. For consistency, rename HS_VAL and related macros similarly. Back-patch to 9.5. contrib/hstore_plperl doesn't exist before that so there is no need to worry about the conflict in older releases. Per reports from Marco Atzeri and Mike Blackwell.	10 years ago
Tom Lane	91e79260f6	Remove no-longer-required function declarations. ... Remove a bunch of "extern Datum foo(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);" declarations that are no longer needed now that PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(foo) provides that. Some of these were evidently missed in commit e7128e8dbb, but others were cargo-culted in in code added since then. Possibly that can be blamed in part on the fact that we'd not fixed relevant documentation examples, which I've now done.	10 years ago
