Causing a core dump on out-of-memory seems pretty unfriendly,
and surely is far outside the expected behavior of a general-purpose
library. Just print an error message (as we did already) and return.
These functions unfortunately don't have an error return convention,
but code using them is probably just looking for a quick-n-dirty
print method and wouldn't bother to check anyway.
Although these functions are semi-deprecated, it still seems
appropriate to back-patch this. In passing, also back-patch
b90e6cef1, just to reduce cosmetic differences between the
branches.

Instead use the common/int.h functions to check for integer overflow
in a more C-standard-compliant fashion. This is motivated by recent
failures on buildfarm member moonjelly, where it appears that
development-tip gcc is optimizing without regard to the -fwrapv
switch. Presumably that's a gcc bug that will be fixed soon, but
we might as well install cleaner coding here rather than wait.
(This does not address the question of whether we'll ever be able
to get rid of using -fwrapv. Testing shows that this spot is the
only place where doing so creates visible regression test failures,
but unfortunately that proves very little.)
Back-patch to v12. The common/int.h functions exist in v11, but
that branch doesn't use them in any client-side code. I judge
that this case isn't interesting enough in the real world to take
even a small risk of issues from being the first such use.

specscanner.l leaked a kilobyte of memory per token of the spec file.
Apparently somebody thought that the introductory code block would be
executed once; but it's once per yylex() call.
A couple of functions in isolationtester.c leaked small amounts of
memory due to not bothering to free one-time allocations. Might
as well improve these so that valgrind gives this program a clean
bill of health. Also get rid of an ugly static variable.
Coverity complained about one of the one-time leaks, which led me
to try valgrind'ing isolationtester, which led to discovery of the
larger leak.
Commit c0cb87fbb unwisely introduced a dependency on the StringInfo
machinery in fe-connect.c. We must not use that in libpq, because
it will do a summary exit(1) if it hits OOM, and that is not
appropriate behavior for a general-purpose library. The goal of
allowing arbitrary line lengths in service files doesn't seem like
it's worth a lot of effort, so revert back to the previous method
of using a stack-allocated buffer and failing on buffer overflow.
This isn't an exact revert though. I kept that patch's refactoring
to have a single exit path, as that seems cleaner than having each
error path know what to do to clean up. Also, I made the fixed-size
buffer 1024 bytes not 256, just to push off the need for an expandable
buffer some more.
There is more to do here; in particular the lack of any mechanical
check for this type of mistake now seems pretty hazardous. But this
fix gets us back to the level of robustness we had in v13, anyway.

It's not really necessary for this function to open or lock the
relation associated with the pg_policy entry it's modifying. The
error checks it's making on the rel are if anything counterproductive
(e.g., if we don't want to allow installation of policies on system
catalogs, here is not the place to prevent that). In particular, it
seems just wrong to insist on an ownership check. That has the net
effect of forcing people to use superuser for DROP OWNED BY, which
surely is not an effect we want. Also there is no point in rebuilding
the dependencies of the policy expressions, which aren't being
changed. Lastly, locking the table also seems counterproductive; it's
not helping to prevent race conditions, since we failed to re-read the
pg_policy row after acquiring the lock. That means that concurrent
DDL would likely result in "tuple concurrently updated/deleted"
errors; which is the same behavior this code will produce, with less
overhead.

The queries involving ft1_nopw don't stably return the same row

right after the updates introduced by f61db909d/5843659d0 freed

It's only by good luck that these results were stable before,

For no obvious reason, isolationtester has always insisted that
session and step names be written with double quotes. This is
fairly tedious and does little for test readability, especially
since the names that people actually choose almost always look
like normal identifiers. Hence, let's tweak the lexer to allow
SQL-like identifiers not only double-quoted strings.
(They're SQL-like, not exactly SQL, because I didn't add any
case-folding logic. Also there's no provision for U&"..." names,
not that anyone's likely to care.)
There is one incompatibility introduced by this change: if you write
"foo""bar" with no space, that used to be taken as two identifiers,
but now it's just one identifier with an embedded quote mark.
I converted all the src/test/isolation/ specfiles to remove
unnecessary double quotes, but stopped there because my
eyes were glazing over already.

Our uses of gss_display_status() and gss_display_name() assumed
that the gss_buffer_desc strings returned by those functions are
null-terminated. It appears that they generally are, given the
lack of field complaints up to now. However, the available
documentation does not promise this, and some man pages
for gss_display_status() show examples that rely on the
gss_buffer_desc.length field instead of expecting null
termination. Also, we now have a report that on some
implementations, clang's address sanitizer is of the opinion
that the byte after the specified length is undefined.
Hence, change the code to rely on the length field instead.

Previously, isolationtester displayed SQL query results using some
ad-hoc code that clearly hadn't had much effort expended on it.
Field values longer than 14 characters weren't separated from
the next field, and usually caused misalignment of the columns
too. Also there was no visual separation of a query's result
from subsequent isolationtester output. This made test result
files confusing and hard to read.
To improve matters, let's use libpq's PQprint() function. Although
that's long since unused by psql, it's still plenty good enough
for the purpose here.

The code to signal a running walsender when its reserved WAL size grows
too large is completely uncovered before this commit; this adds coverage
for that case.
This test involves sending SIGSTOP to walsender and walreceiver, then
advancing enough WAL for a checkpoint to trigger, then sending SIGCONT.
There's no precedent for STOP signalling in Perl tests, and my reading
of relevant manpages says it's likely to fail on Windows. Because of
this, this test is always skipped on that platform.
This version fixes a couple of rarely hit race conditions in the
previous attempt 09126984a263; most notably, both LOG string searches
are loops, not just the second one; we acquire the start-of-log position
before STOP-signalling; and reference the correct process name in the

We've long contended with isolation test results that aren't entirely
stable. Some test scripts insert long delays to try to force stable
results, which is not terribly desirable; but other erratic failure
modes remain, causing unrepeatable buildfarm failures. I've spent a
fair amount of time trying to solve this by improving the server-side
support code, without much success: that way is fundamentally unable
to cope with diffs that stem from chance ordering of arrival of
messages from different server processes.
We can improve matters on the client side, however, by annotating
the test scripts themselves to show the desired reporting order
of events that might occur in different orders. This patch adds
three types of annotations to deal with (a) test steps that might or
might not complete their waits before the isolationtester can see them
waiting; (b) test steps in different sessions that can legitimately
complete in either order; and (c) NOTIFY messages that might arrive
before or after the completion of a step in another session. We might
need more annotation types later, but this seems to be enough to deal
with the instabilities we've seen in the buildfarm. It also lets us
get rid of all the long delays that were previously used, cutting more
than a minute off the runtime of the isolation tests.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because the buildfarm
instabilities affect all the branches, and because it seems desirable
to keep isolationtester's capabilities the same across all branches
to simplify possible future back-patching of tests.

Commits 84f5c2908 et al missed the need to cover plpgsql's "simple
expression" code path. If the first thing we execute after a
COMMIT/ROLLBACK is one of those, rather than a full-fledged SPI command,
we must explicitly do EnsurePortalSnapshotExists() to make sure we have
an outer snapshot. Note that it wouldn't be good enough to just push a
snapshot for the duration of the expression execution: what comes back
might be toasted, so we'd better have a snapshot protecting it.
The test case demonstrating this fact cheats a bit by marking a SQL
function immutable even though it fetches from a table. That's
nothing that users haven't been seen to do, though.
