The previous coding here applied atoi() to strings that could represent
values too large to fit in an int. If the overflowed value happened to
match one of the cases it was looking for, it would drop that limit
value from the output, leading to incorrect restoration of the sequence.
Avoid the unsafe behavior, and also make the logic cleaner by explicitly
calculating the default min/max values for the appropriate kind of
sequence.
Reported and patched by Alexey Bashtanov, though I whacked his patch
around a bit. Back-patch to v10 where the faulty logic was added.

An updating query that reads a CTE within an InitPlan or SubPlan could get
incorrect results if it updates rows that are concurrently being modified.
This is caused by CteScanNext supposing that nothing inside its recursive
ExecProcNode call could change which read pointer is selected in the CTE's
shared tuplestore. While that's normally true because of scoping
considerations, it can break down if an EPQ plan tree gets built during the
call, because EvalPlanQualStart builds execution trees for all subplans
whether they're going to be used during the recheck or not. And it seems
like a pretty shaky assumption anyway, so let's just reselect our own read
pointer here.
Per bug #14870 from Andrei Gorita. This has been broken since CTEs were
implemented, so back-patch to all supported branches.

If we restrict unique constraints on partitioned tables so that they
must always include the partition key, then our standard approach to
unique indexes already works --- each unique key is forced to exist
within a single partition, so enforcing the unique restriction in each
index individually is enough to have it enforced globally. Therefore we
can implement unique indexes on partitions by simply removing a few
restrictions (and adding others.)

In what was doubtless a typo, commit bf6c614a2 introduced a duplicate
initialization of a local variable. This made Coverity unhappy, as well
as pretty much anybody reading the code. We don't even have a real use
for the local variable, so just remove it.
Introduce a new format_type_extended, with a flags bitmask argument that
can modify the default behavior. A few compatibility and readability

format_type_be
format_type_be_qualified
format_type_with_typemod
while format_type_with_typemod_qualified, which had a single caller, is
removed.

The reason for doing so is that it will allow expression evaluation to
optimize based on the underlying tupledesc. In particular it will
allow to JIT tuple deforming together with the expression itself.
For that expression initialization needs to be moved after the
relevant slots are initialized - mostly unproblematic, except in the
case of nodeWorktablescan.c.
After doing so there's no need for ExecAssignResultType() and
ExecAssignResultTypeFromTL() anymore, as all former callers have been
converted to create a slot with a fixed descriptor.
When creating a slot with a fixed descriptor, tts_values/isnull can be
allocated together with the main slot, reducing allocation overhead
and increasing cache density a bit.

elog(FATAL) would end up calling PortalCleanup(), which would call
executor shutdown code, which could fail and crash, especially under
parallel query. This was introduced by
8561e4840c, which did not want to mark an
active portal as failed by a normal transaction abort anymore. But we
do need to do that for an elog(FATAL) exit. Introduce a variable
shmem_exit_inprogress similar to the existing proc_exit_inprogress, so
we can tell whether we are in the FATAL exit scenario.

This reverts commit 773aec7aa9.
There's an unresolved issue in the reverted commit: It only creates
one comparator function, but in for the nodeSubplan.c case we need
more (c.f. FindTupleHashEntry vs LookupTupleHashEntry calls in
nodeSubplan.c).
This isn't too difficult to fix, but it's not entirely trivial
either. The fact that the issue only causes breakage on 32bit systems
shows that the current test coverage isn't that great. To avoid
turning half the buildfarm red till those two issues are addressed,
revert.
If a plpgsql function is declared to return a domain type, and the domain's
constraints forbid a null value, it was nonetheless possible to return
NULL, because we didn't bother to check the constraints for a null result.
I'd noticed this while fooling with domains-over-composite, but had not
gotten around to fixing it immediately.
Add a regression test script exercising this and various other domain
cases, largely borrowed from the plpython_types test.
Although this is clearly a bug fix, I'm not sure whether anyone would
thank us for changing the behavior in stable branches, so I'm inclined
not to back-patch.
Seems a bit silly that many (in fact all, as of today) uses of
StaticAssertExpr would need to cast it to void to avoid warnings from
pickier compilers. Let's just do the cast right in the macro, instead.
In passing, change StaticAssertExpr to StaticAssertStmt in one
place where that seems more apropos.

This is the logical conclusion of our decision to support Assert()
in both frontend and backend code: it should be possible to use that
after including just c.h. But as things were arranged before, if
you wanted to use Assert() in code that might be compiled for either
environment, you had to include postgres.h for the backend case.
Let's simplify that.
Per buildfarm, some of whose members started throwing warnings after
commit 0c62356cc added an Assert in src/port/snprintf.c.
It's possible that some other src/port files that use the stanza
#ifndef FRONTEND
#include "postgres.h"
#else
#include "postgres_fe.h"
#endif
could now be simplified to just say '#include "c.h"'. I have not
tested for that, though, and it'd be unlikely to apply for more
than a small number of them.
This effectively reverts commit 9edc97b71 (although the test is now
in a different place and has different contents). We don't need that
hack anymore, because since commit 4b93f5799, this test case no longer
throws an error and so there's no displayed CONTEXT that could vary
depending on CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. The underlying unstable-output
problem isn't really gone, of course, but it no longer manifests here.
The buildfarm's CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS animals aren't happy with some
of the test cases added in commit 4b93f5799. There are two different
problems:
* In two places, a different CONTEXT stack is shown because the error
is detected in a different place, due to recompiling an expression
from scratch rather than re-using a previously cached plan for it.
I fixed these via the expedient of hiding the CONTEXT stack altogether.
* In one place, a test expected to fail (because a cached plan hadn't
been updated) actually succeeds (because the forced recompile makes
it good). I couldn't think of a simple workaround for this, so I've
just commented out that test step altogether.
I have hopes of improving things enough that both of these kluges can
be reverted eventually. The first one is the same kind of problem
previously discussed at
https://postgr.es/m/31545.1512924904@sss.pgh.pa.us
but there was insufficient agreement about how to fix it, so we
just hacked around the output instability (commit 9edc97b71).
The second issue should be fixed by allowing the plan to be rebuilt
when a type conflict is detected. But for today, let's just make the
buildfarm green again.
Some older compilers otherwise sometimes complain about undefined
values, even though the return value should not be used in the
overflow case. We assume that any decent compiler will optimize away
the unnecessary assignment in performance critical cases.
We do not want to restrain the returned value to a specific value,
e.g. 0 or the wrapped-around value, because some fast ways to
implement overflow detecting math do not easily allow for
that (e.g. msvc intrinsics). As the function documentation already
documents the returned value in case of intrinsics to be
implementation defined, no documentation has to be updated.

All of these are false positives, but in each case a fair amount of
analysis is needed to see that, and it's not too surprising that not all
compilers are smart enough. (In particular, in the logtape.c case, a
compiler lacking the knowledge provided by the Assert would almost surely
complain, so that this warning will be seen in any non-assert build.)
Some of these are of long standing while others are pretty recent,
but it only seems worth fixing them in HEAD.

Per commit e748e902d, we appear to have little or no coverage in the
buildfarm of machines that will dump core when asked to printf a
null string pointer. Let's try to improve that situation by adding
an assertion that will make src/port/snprintf.c behave that way.
Since it's just an assertion, it won't break anything in production
builds, but it will help developers find this type of oversight.
Note that while our buildfarm coverage of machines that use that
snprintf implementation is pretty thin on the Unix side (apparently
amounting only to gaur/pademelon), all of the MSVC critters use it.

plpython_error_callback() reported the name of the function associated
with the topmost PL/Python execution context. This was not merely
wrong if there were nested PL/Python contexts, but it risked a core
dump if the topmost one is an inline code block rather than a named
function. That will have proname = NULL, and so we were passing a NULL
pointer to snprintf("%s"). It seems that none of the PL/Python-testing
machines in the buildfarm will dump core for that, but some platforms do,
as reported by Marina Polyakova.
Investigation finds that there actually is an existing regression test
that used to prove that the behavior was wrong, though apparently no one
had noticed that it was printing the wrong function name. It stopped
showing the problem in 9.6 when we adjusted psql to not print CONTEXT
by default for NOTICE messages. The problem is masked (if your platform
avoids the core dump) in error cases, because PL/Python will throw away
the originally generated error info in favor of a new traceback produced
at the outer level.
Repair by using ErrorContextCallback.arg to pass the correct context to
the error callback. Add a regression test illustrating correct behavior.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since they're all broken this way.

Over the years we've accreted quite a few special variables that are
predefined in plpgsql trigger functions. The cost of initializing these
variables to their defined values turns out to be a significant part of
the runtime of simple triggers; but, undoubtedly, most real-world triggers
never examine the values of most of these variables.
To improve matters, invent the notion of a variable that has a "promise"
attached to it, specifying which of the predetermined values should be
assigned to the variable if anything ever reads it. This eliminates all
the unneeded startup overhead, in return for a small penalty on accesses
to these variables.

Previously, copy_plpgsql_datum did a separate palloc for each variable
needing instance-local storage. In simple benchmarks this made for a
noticeable fraction of the total runtime. Improve it by precalculating
the space needed for all of a function's variables and doing just one
palloc for all of them.
In passing, remove PLPGSQL_DTYPE_EXPR from the list of plpgsql "datum"
types, since in fact it has nothing in common with the others, and there
is noplace that needs to discriminate on the basis of dtype between an
expression and any type of datum. And add comments clarifying which
datum struct fields are generic and which aren't.

Formerly, DTYPE_REC was used only for variables declared as "record";
variables of named composite types used DTYPE_ROW, which is faster for
some purposes but much less flexible. In particular, the ROW code paths
are entirely incapable of dealing with DDL-caused changes to the number
or data types of the columns of a row variable, once a particular plpgsql
function has been parsed for the first time in a session. And, since the
stored representation of a ROW isn't a tuple, there wasn't any easy way
to deal with variables of domain-over-composite types, since the domain
constraint checking code would expect the value to be checked to be a
tuple. A lesser, but still real, annoyance is that ROW format cannot
represent a true NULL composite value, only a row of per-field NULL
values, which is not exactly the same thing.
Hence, switch to using DTYPE_REC for all composite-typed variables,
whether "record", named composite type, or domain over named composite
type. DTYPE_ROW remains but is used only for its native purpose, to
represent a fixed-at-compile-time list of variables, for instance the
targets of an INTO clause.
To accomplish this without taking significant performance losses, introduce
infrastructure that allows storing composite-type variables as "expanded
objects", similar to the "expanded array" infrastructure introduced in
commit 1dc5ebc90. A composite variable's value is thereby kept (most of
the time) in the form of separate Datums, so that field accesses and
updates are not much more expensive than they were in the ROW format.
This holds the line, more or less, on performance of variables of named
composite types in field-access-intensive microbenchmarks, and makes
variables declared "record" perform much better than before in similar
tests. In addition, the logic involved with enforcing composite-domain
constraints against updates of individual fields is in the expanded
record infrastructure not plpgsql proper, so that it might be reusable
for other purposes.
In further support of this, introduce a typcache feature for assigning a
unique-within-process identifier to each distinct tuple descriptor of
interest; in particular, DDL alterations on composite types result in a new
identifier for that type. This allows very cheap detection of the need to
refresh tupdesc-dependent data. This improves on the "tupDescSeqNo" idea
I had in commit 687f096ea: that assigned identifying sequence numbers to
successive versions of individual composite types, but the numbers were not
unique across different types, nor was there support for assigning numbers
to registered record types.
In passing, allow plpgsql functions to accept as well as return type
"record". There was no good reason for the old restriction, and it
was out of step with most of the other PLs.

Instead of issuing a reload after pg_hba.conf changes between test
cases, run a full restart. With a reload, an error in the new
pg_hba.conf is ignored and the tests will continue to run with the old
settings, invalidating the subsequent test cases. With a restart, a
faulty pg_hba.conf will lead to the test being aborted, which is what
we'd rather want.
The modern way is to use a missing_ok argument instead of two separate

pg_dump supposed that a stats object necessarily shares the same schema
as its underlying table, and that it doesn't have a separate owner.
These things may have been true during early development of the feature,
but they are not true as of v10 release.
Failure to track the object's schema separately turns out to have only
limited consequences, because pg_get_statisticsobjdef() always schema-
qualifies the target object name in the generated CREATE STATISTICS command
(a decision out of step with the rest of ruleutils.c, but I digress).
Therefore the restored object would be in the right schema, so that the
only problem is that the TOC entry would be mislabeled as to schema. That
could lead to wrong decisions for schema-selective restores, for example.
The ownership issue is a bit more serious: not only was the TOC entry
potentially mislabeled as to owner, but pg_dump didn't bother to issue an
ALTER OWNER command at all, so that after restore the stats object would
continue to be owned by the restoring superuser.
A final point is that decisions as to whether to dump a stats object or
not were driven by whether the underlying table was dumped or not. While
that's not wrong on its face, it won't scale nicely to the planned future
extension to cross-table statistics. Moreover, that design decision comes
out of the view of stats objects as being auxiliary to a particular table,
like a rule or trigger, which is exactly where the above problems came
from. Since we're now treating stats objects more like independent objects
in their own right, they ought to behave like standalone objects for this
purpose too. So change to using the generic selectDumpableObject() logic
for them (which presently amounts to "dump if containing schema is to be
dumped").
Along the way to fixing this, restructure so that getExtendedStatistics
collects the identity info (only) for all extended stats objects in one
query, and then for each object actually being dumped, we retrieve the
definition in dumpStatisticsExt. This is necessary to ensure that
schema-qualification in the generated CREATE STATISTICS command happens
with respect to the search path that pg_dump will now be using at restore
time (ie, the schema the stats object is in, not that of the underlying
table). It's probably also significantly faster in the typical scenario
where only a minority of tables have extended stats.
Back-patch to v10 where extended stats were introduced.
