The last section of pg_createsubscriber used the terms
"publication-name", "replication-slot-name", and "subscription-name".
These terms are not defined on the page, which was confusing, and the
intention is clearly to refer to the values one would give to the
options --publication, --subscription and --replication-slot. Let's
simplify the documentation by mentioning the option switches, instead of
these terms.

The new compact_attrs array stores a few select fields from
FormData_pg_attribute in a more compact way, using only 16 bytes per
column instead of the 104 bytes that FormData_pg_attribute uses. Using
CompactAttribute allows performance-critical operations such as tuple
deformation to be performed without looking at the FormData_pg_attribute
element in TupleDesc which means fewer cacheline accesses. With this
change, NAMEDATALEN could be increased with a much smaller negative impact
on performance.
For some workloads, tuple deformation can be the most CPU intensive part
of processing the query. Some testing with 16 columns on a table
where the first column is variable length showed around a 10% increase in
transactions per second for an OLAP type query performing aggregation on
the 16th column. However, in certain cases, the increases were much
higher, up to ~25% on one AMD Zen4 machine.
This also makes pg_attribute.attcacheoff redundant. A follow-on commit
will remove it, thus shrinking the FormData_pg_attribute struct by 4
bytes.

This commit fixes some inconsistencies found in the frontend code when
dealing with subscription catalog data.
The following changes are done:
- pg_subscription.h gains a EXPOSE_TO_CLIENT_CODE, so as more content
defined in pg_subscription.h becomes available in pg_subscription_d.h
for the frontend.
- In psql's describe.c, substream can be switched to use CppAsString2()
with its three LOGICALREP_STREAM_* values, with pg_subscription_d.h
included.
- pg_dump.c included pg_subscription.h, which is a header that should
only be used in the backend code. The code is updated to use
pg_subscription_d.h instead.
- pg_dump stored all the data from pg_subscription in SubscriptionInfo
with only strings, and a good chunk of them are boolean and char values.
Using strings is not necessary, complicates the code (see for example
two_phase_disabled[] removed here), and is inconsistent with the way
other catalogs' data is handled. The fields of SubscriptionInfo are
reordered to match with the order in its catalog, while on it.

Previously, it set only DELAY_CHKPT_COMPLETE. That was important,
because it meant that if the XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE record preceded a
XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record in the WAL, then the truncation would also
happen on disk before the XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record was
written.
However, it didn't guarantee that the sync request for the truncation
was processed before the XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record was written. By
setting DELAY_CHKPT_START, we guarantee that if an XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE
record is written to WAL before the redo pointer of a concurrent

by that checkpoint, rather than being left for the following one.

MD5 has been considered to be unsuitable for use as a cryptographic
hash algorithm for some time. Furthermore, MD5 password hashes in
PostgreSQL are vulnerable to pass-the-hash attacks, i.e., knowing
the username and hashed password is sufficient to authenticate.
The SCRAM-SHA-256 method added in v10 is not subject to these
problems and is considered to be superior to MD5.
This commit marks MD5 password support in PostgreSQL as deprecated
and to be removed in a future release. The documentation now
contains several deprecation notices, and CREATE ROLE and ALTER
ROLE now emit deprecation warnings when setting MD5 passwords. The
warnings can be disabled by setting the md5_password_warnings

According to the SQL standard, if the referential action RESTRICT is
triggered, it has its own error code. We previously didn't use that,
we just used the error code for foreign key violation. But RESTRICT
is not necessarily an actual foreign key violation. The foreign key
might still be satisfied in theory afterwards, but the RESTRICT
setting prevents the action even then. So it's a separate kind of
error condition.

The loops over cursor argument variables neglected to ever advance
"prevvar". The code would accidentally do the right thing anyway
when removing the first or second list entry, but if it had to
remove the third or later entry then it would also remove all
entries between there and the first entry. AFAICS this would
only matter for cursors that reference out-of-scope variables,
which is a weird Informix compatibility hack; between that and
the lack of impact for short lists, it's not so surprising that
nobody has complained. Nonetheless it's a pretty obvious bug.
It would have been more obvious if these loops used a more standard
coding style for chasing the linked lists --- this business with the
"prev" pointer sometimes pointing at the current list entry is
confusing and overcomplicated. So rather than just add a minimal
band-aid, I chose to rewrite the loops in the same style we use
elsewhere, where the "prev" pointer is NULL until we are dealing with
a non-first entry and we save the "next" pointer at the top of the
loop. (Two of the four loops touched here are not actually buggy,
but it seems better to make them all look alike.)
Coverity discovered this problem, but not until 2b41de4a5 added code
to free no-longer-needed arguments structs. With that, the incorrect
link updates are possibly touching freed memory, and it complained
about that. Nonetheless the list corruption hazard is ancient, so
back-patch to all supported branches.
As I'd feared, commit 5c9d8636d was still a few bricks shy of a load.
We can't just leave pulled-up lateral-reference Vars with no new
nullingrels: we have to carefully compute what subset of the
to-be-replaced Var's nullingrels apply to them, else we still get
"wrong varnullingrels" errors. This is a bit tedious, but it looks
like we can use the nullingrel data this patch computes for other
purposes, enabling better optimization. We don't want to inject
unnecessary plan changes into stable branches though, so leave that
idea for a later HEAD-only patch.
Patch by me, but thanks to Richard Guo for devising a test case that

If we are pulling up a subquery that's under an outer join, and
the subquery's target list contains a strict expression that uses
both a subquery variable and a lateral-reference variable, it's okay
to pull up the expression without wrapping it in a PlaceHolderVar.
That's safe because if the subquery variable is forced to NULL
by the outer join, the expression result will come out as NULL too,
so we don't have to force that outcome by evaluating the expression
below the outer join. It'd be correct to wrap in a PHV, but that can
lead to very significantly worse plans, since we'd then have to use
a nestloop plan to pass down the lateral reference to where the
expression will be evaluated.
However, when we do that, we should not mark the lateral reference
variable as being nulled by the outer join, because it isn't after
we pull up the expression in this way. So the marking logic added
by cb8e50a4a was incorrect in this detail, leading to "wrong
varnullingrels" errors from the consistency-checking logic in
setrefs.c. It seems to be sufficient to just not mark lateral
references at all in this case. (I have a nagging feeling that more
complexity may be needed in cases where there are several levels of
outer join, but some attempts to break it with that didn't succeed.)

The C standard says that sizeof(bool) is implementation-defined, but we
know of no current systems where it is not 1. The last known systems
seem to have been Apple macOS/PowerPC 10.5 and Microsoft Visual C++ 4,
both long defunct.
PostgreSQL has always required sizeof(bool) == 1 for the definition of
bool that it used, but previously it would define its own type if the
system-provided bool had a different size. That was liable to cause
memory layout problems when interacting with system and third-party
libraries on (by now hypothetical) computers with wider _Bool, and now
C23 has introduced a new problem by making bool a built-in datatype
(like C++), so the fallback code doesn't even compile. We could
probably work around that, but then we'd be writing new untested code
for a computer that doesn't exist.
Instead, delete the unreachable and C23-uncompilable fallback code, and
let existing static assertions fail if the system-provided bool is too
wide. If we ever get a problem report from a real system, then it will
be time to figure out what to do about it in a way that also works on
modern compilers.
Note on C++: Previously we avoided including <stdbool.h> or trying to
define a new bool type in headers that might be included by C++ code.
These days we might as well just include <stdbool.h> unconditionally:
it should be visible to C++11 but do nothing, just as in C23. We
already include <stdint.h> without C++ guards in c.h, and that falls
under the same C99-compatibility section of the C++11 standard as
<stdbool.h>, so let's remove the guards here too.

Presently, we check for compiler support for the required
intrinsics both with and without the -msse4.2 compiler flag, and
then depending on the results of those checks, we pick which files
to compile with which flags. This is tedious and complicated, and
it results in unsustainable coding patterns such as separate files
for each portion of code that may need to be built with different
compiler flags.
This commit makes use of the newly-added support for
__attribute__((target(...))) in the SSE4.2 CRC-32C code. This
simplifies both the configure-time checks and the build scripts,
and it allows us to place the functions that use the intrinsics in
files that we otherwise do not want to build with special CPU
instructions (although this commit refrains from doing so). This
is also preparatory work for a proposed follow-up commit that will
further optimize the CRC-32C code with AVX-512 instructions.
While at it, this commit modifies meson's checks for SSE4.2 CRC
support to be the same as autoconf's. meson was choosing whether
to use a runtime check based purely on whether -msse4.2 is
required, while autoconf has long checked for the __SSE4_2__
preprocessor symbol to decide. meson's previous approach seems to
work just fine, but this change avoids needing to build multiple
test programs and to keep track of whether to actually use
pg_attribute_target().
Ideally we'd use __attribute__((target(...))) for ARMv8 CRC
support, too, but there's little point in doing so because until
clang 16, using the ARM intrinsics still requires special compiler
flags. Perhaps we can re-evaluate this decision after some time
has passed.

Also, ecpg.trailer tended to overwrite struct_member_list[struct_level]

Commit 0785d1b8b adds support for libpq as a JSON client, but
allocations for string tokens can still be leaked during parsing
failures. This is tricky to fix for the object_field semantic callbacks:
the field name must remain valid until the end of the object, but if a
parsing error is encountered partway through, object_field_end() won't
be invoked and the client won't get a chance to free the field name.
This patch adds a flag to switch the ownership of parsed tokens to the
lexer. When this is enabled, the client must make a copy of any tokens
it wants to persist past the callback lifetime, but the lexer will
handle necessary cleanup on failure.
Backend uses of the JSON parser don't need to use this flag, since the
parser's allocations will occur in a short lived memory context.
A -o option has been added to test_json_parser_incremental to exercise
the new setJsonLexContextOwnsTokens() API, and the test_json_parser TAP
tests make use of it. (The test program now cleans up allocated memory,
so that tests can be usefully run under leak sanitizers.)

This function calls pgstat_read_current_status(), which can be

Since we just need to look up the target backend's BackendType, and

Historically we tolerated the absence of various C runtime library
features for the benefit of the MinGW tool chain, because it used
ancient msvcrt.dll for a long period of time. It now uses ucrt by
default (like Windows 10+, Visual Studio 2015+), and that's the only
configuration we're testing.
In practice, we effectively required ucrt already in PostgreSQL 17, when
commit 8d9a9f03 required _create_locale etc, first available in
msvcr120.dll (Visual Studio 2013, the last of the pre-ucrt series of
runtimes), and for MinGW users that practically meant ucrt because it
was difficult or impossible to use msvcr120.dll. That may even not have
been the first such case, but old MinGW configurations had already
dropped off our testing radar so we weren't paying much attention.
This commit formalizes the requirement. It also removes a couple of
obsolete comments that discussed msvcrt.dll limitations, and some tests
of !defined(_MSC_VER) to imply msvcrt.dll. There are many more
anachronisms, but it'll take some time to figure out how to remove them
all. APIs affected relate to locales, UTF-8, threads, large files and
more.
Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for the documentation change. It's not
really necessary to talk about ucrt explicitly in such a short section,
since it's the default for MinGW-w64 and MSYS2. It's enough to prune
references and broken links to much older tools.

This allows for example using LIKE with case-insensitive collations.
There was previously no internal implementation of this, so it was met
with a not-supported error. This adds the internal implementation and
removes the error. The implementation follows the specification of
the SQL standard for this.
Unlike with deterministic collations, the LIKE matching cannot go
character by character but has to go substring by substring. For
example, if we are matching against LIKE 'foo%bar', we can't start by
looking for an 'f', then an 'o', but instead with have to find
something that matches 'foo'. This is because the collation could
consider substrings of different lengths to be equal. This is all
internal to MatchText() in like_match.c.
The changes in GenericMatchText() in like.c just pass through the
locale information to MatchText(), which was previously not needed.
This matches exactly Generic_Text_IC_like() below.
ILIKE is not affected. (It's unclear whether ILIKE makes sense under
nondeterministic collations.)
This also updates match_pattern_prefix() in like_support.c to support
optimizing the case of an exact pattern with nondeterministic
collations. This was already alluded to in the previous code.

When using a pipeline, a transaction starts from the first command and
is committed with a Sync message or when the pipeline ends.
Functions like IsInTransactionBlock() or PreventInTransactionBlock()
were already able to understand a pipeline as being in a transaction
block, but it was not the case of CheckTransactionBlock(). This
function is called for example to generate a WARNING for SET LOCAL,
complaining that it is used outside of a transaction block.
The current state of the code caused multiple problems, like:
- SET LOCAL executed at any stage of a pipeline issued a WARNING, even
if the command was at least second in line where the pipeline is in a
transaction state.
- LOCK TABLE failed when invoked at any step of a pipeline, even if it
should be able to work within a transaction block.
The pipeline protocol assumes that the first command of a pipeline is
not part of a transaction block, and that any follow-up commands is
considered as within a transaction block.
This commit changes the backend so as an implicit transaction block is
started each time the first Execute message of a pipeline has finished
processing, with this implicit transaction block ended once a sync is
processed. The checks based on XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING in the routines
checking if we are in a transaction block are not necessary: it is
enough to rely on the existing ones.
Some tests are added to pgbench, that can be backpatched down to v17
when \syncpipeline is involved and down to v14 where \startpipeline and
\endpipeline are available. This is unfortunately limited regarding the
error patterns that can be checked, but it provides coverage for various
pipeline combinations to check if these succeed or fail. These tests
are able to capture the case of SET LOCAL's WARNING. The author has
proposed a different feature to improve the coverage by adding similar
meta-commands to psql where error messages could be checked, something
more useful for the cases where commands cannot be used in transaction
blocks, like REINDEX CONCURRENTLY or VACUUM. This is considered as
future work for v18~.

In commit 641a5b7a14, I removed "nbsp" characters from SVG files, not
realizing the SVG files were generated from GV files and that the "nbsp"
characters were caused by trailing ASCII spaces in GV files. This
commit restores the "nbsp" SVG characters and adds a GV comment about
how the trailing spaces cause the "nbsp" output.
