Don't use DISABLE_COMPLEX_MACRO on Solaris. Don't define the
replacement function in the header file. Use -KPIC, not -K PIC.
Use CC to link C++ libraries, not ld/ar.
Eliminate file not found warnings in tcl build code.
for details). It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no
short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is
in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably. A few long-
standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single
query string crashing. Also, out-of-memory is now considered a
recoverable ERROR, not FATAL.
Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around
memory management.
Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and
backend startup.
really ought to fix relcache entry construction so that it does not
do so much with CurrentMemoryContext = CacheCxt. As is, relatively
harmless leaks in either sequential or index scanning translate to
permanent leaks if they occur when called from relcache build.
For the moment, however, the path of least resistance is to repair
all such leaks...
* Buffer refcount cleanup (per my "progress report" to pghackers, 9/22).
* Add links to backend PROC structs to sinval's array of per-backend info,
and use these links for routines that need to check the state of all
backends (rather than the slow, complicated search of the ShmemIndex
hashtable that was used before). Add databaseOID to PROC structs.
* Use this to implement an interlock that prevents DESTROY DATABASE of
a database containing running backends. (It's a little tricky to prevent
a concurrently-starting backend from getting in there, since the new
backend is not able to lock anything at the time it tries to look up
its database in pg_database. My solution is to recheck that the DB is
OK at the end of InitPostgres. It may not be a 100% solution, but it's
a lot better than no interlock at all...)
* In ALTER TABLE RENAME, flush buffers for the relation before doing the
rename of the physical files, to ensure we don't get failures later from
mdblindwrt().
* Update TRUNCATE patch so that it actually compiles against current
sources :-(.
You should do "make clean all" after pulling these changes.
additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or
'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked
with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures
that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent
problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with
mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched
heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on
a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to
arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this
sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in
DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi.
Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the
Relation struct layout slightly.
Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.
and possibly for other cases too:
DO NOT cache status of transaction in unknown state
(i.e. non-committed and non-aborted ones)
Example:
T1 reads row updated/inserted by running T2 and cache T2 status.
T2 commits.
Now T1 reads a row updated by T2 and with HEAP_XMAX_COMMITTED
in t_infomask (so cached T2 status is not changed).
Now T1 EvalPlanQual gets updated row version without HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED
-> TransactionIdDidCommit(t_xmin) and TransactionIdDidAbort(t_xmin)
return FALSE and T2 decides that t_xmin is not committed and gets
ERROR above.
It's too late to find more smart way to handle such cases and so
I just changed xact status caching and got rid TransactionIdFlushCache()
from code.
Changed: transam.c, xact.c, lmgr.c and transam.h - last three
just because of TransactionIdFlushCache() is removed.
2. heapam.c:
T1 marked a row for update. T2 waits for T1 commit/abort.
T1 commits. T3 updates the row before T2 locks row page.
Now T2 sees that new row t_xmax is different from xact id (T1)
T2 was waiting for. Old code did Assert here. New one goes to
HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate. Obvious changes too.
3. Added Assert to vacuum.c
4. bufmgr.c: break
Assert(buf->r_locks == 0 && !buf->ri_lock)
into two Asserts.
2. Much faster btree tuples deletion in the case when first on page
index tuple is deleted (no movement to the left page(s)).
3. Remember blkno of new root page in BTPageOpaque of
left/right siblings when root page is splitted.
no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
