Invent a notion of "local" storage that will automatically be
reclaimed at the end of each statement. Use this for location
strings as well as other visibly short-lived data within the parser.
Also, make cat_str and make_str return local storage and not free
their inputs, which allows dispensing with a whole lot of retail
mm_strdup calls. We do have to add some new ones in places where
a local-lifetime string needs to be added to a longer-lived data
structure, but on balance there are a lot less mm_strdup calls than
before.
In hopes of flushing out places where changes were necessary,
I changed YYLTYPE from "char *" to "const char *", which forced
const-ification of various function arguments that probably
should've been like that all along.
This still leaks somewhat more memory than v17, but that will be
cleaned up in future commits.

mm_alloc and mm_strdup were in type.c, which seems a completely
random choice. No doubt the original author thought two small
functions didn't deserve their own file. But I'm about to add
some more memory-management stuff beside them, so let's put them
in a less surprising place. This seems like a better home for
mmerror, mmfatal, and the cat_str/make_str family, too.

Most productions in the preprocessor grammar construct strings
representing SQL or C statements or fragments thereof. Instead
of returning these as <str> results of the productions, return
them as "location" values, taking advantage of Bison's flexibility
about what a location is. We aren't really giving up anything
thereby, since ecpg's error reports have always just given line
numbers, and that's tracked separately. The advantage of this
is that a single instance of the YYLLOC_DEFAULT macro can
perform all the work needed by the vast majority of productions,
including all the ones made automatically by parse.pl. This
avoids having large numbers of effectively-identical productions,
which tickles an optimization inefficiency in recent versions of
clang. (This patch reduces the compilation time for preproc.o
by more than 100-fold with clang 16, and is visibly helpful with
gcc too.) The compiled parser is noticeably smaller as well.
A disadvantage of this approach is that YYLLOC_DEFAULT is applied
before running the production's semantic action (if any). This
means it cannot use the method favored by cat_str() of free'ing
all the input strings; if the action needs to look at the input
strings, it'd be looking at dangling storage. As this stands,
therefore, it leaks memory like a sieve. This is already a big
patch though, and fixing the memory management seems like a
separable problem, so let's leave that for the next step.
(This does remove some free() calls that I'd have had to touch
anyway, in the expectation that the next step will manage
memory reclamation quite differently.)
Most of the changes here are mindless substitution of "@N" for
"$N" in grammar rules; see the changes to README.parser for
an explanation.

README.parser is the user's manual, such as it is, for parse.pl.
It's rather poorly written if you ask me; so try to improve it.
(More could be written here, but this at least covers the same
info in a more organized fashion.)
Also, the single solitary line of usage info in parse.pl itself
was a lie. Replace.
Add some error checks that the ecpg.addons entries meet the syntax
rules set forth in README.parser. One of them didn't, but
accidentally worked anyway because the logic in include_addon is
such that 'block' is the default behavior.
Also add a cross-check that each ecpg.addons entry is matched exactly
once in the backend grammar. This exposed that there are two dead
entries there --- they are dead because the %replace_types table in
parse.pl causes their nonterminals to be ignored altogether.
Removing them doesn't change the generated preproc.y file.
(This implies that check_rules.pl is completely worthless and should
be nuked: it adds build cycles and maintenance effort while failing
to reliably accomplish its one job of detecting dead rules. I'll
do that separately.)

it later against btree strategies to determine if the scan direction

TAP tests can write

to initialize a cluster explicitly without checksums. Currently, this

checksums enabled, like
PG_TEST_INITDB_EXTRA_OPTS=--data-checksums meson test ...
And this also prepares the tests for when we switch the default to

The pg_checksums tests need to disable checksums so it can test its
own functionality of enabling checksums. The amcheck/pg_amcheck tests
need to disable checksums because they manually introduce corruption
that they want to detect, but with checksums enabled, the checksum
verification will fail before they even get to their work.

find_computable_ec_member() had the wrong mental model of what
its primary caller prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() would do with
the selected EquivalenceClass member expression. We will not
compute the EC expression in a plan node atop the one returning
the passed-in targetlist; rather, the EC expression will be
computed as an additional column of that targetlist. So any
Var or quasi-Var used in the given tlist is also available to the
EC expression. In simple cases this makes no difference because
the given tlist is just a list of Vars or quasi-Vars --- but if
we are considering an appendrel member produced by flattening
a UNION ALL, the tlist may contain expressions, resulting in
failure to match and a "could not find pathkey item to sort"
error.
To fix, we can flatten both the tlist and the EC members with
pull_var_clause(), and then just check for subset-ness, so
that the code is actually shorter than before.

PostgreSQL has for a long time mixed two BIO implementations, which can
lead to subtle bugs and inconsistencies. This cleans up our BIO by just
just setting up the methods we need. This patch does not introduce any
functionality changes.
The following methods are no longer defined due to not being needed:
- gets: Not used by libssl
- puts: Not used by libssl
- create: Sets up state not used by libpq
- destroy: Not used since libpq use BIO_NOCLOSE, if it was used it close
the socket from underneath libpq
- callback_ctrl: Not implemented by sockets
The following methods are defined for our BIO:
- read: Used for reading arbitrary length data from the BIO. No change
in functionality from the previous implementation.
- write: Used for writing arbitrary length data to the BIO. No change
in functionality from the previous implementation.
- ctrl: Used for processing ctrl messages in the BIO (similar to ioctl).
The only ctrl message which matters is BIO_CTRL_FLUSH used for
writing out buffered data (or signal EOF and that no more data
will be written). BIO_CTRL_FLUSH is mandatory to implement and
is implemented as a no-op since there is no intermediate buffer
to flush.
BIO_CTRL_EOF is the out-of-band method for signalling EOF to
read_ex based BIO's. Our BIO is not read_ex based but someone
could accidentally call BIO_CTRL_EOF on us so implement mainly
for completeness sake.
As the implementation is no longer related to BIO_s_socket or calling
SSL_set_fd, methods have been renamed to reference the PGconn and Port
types instead.
This also reverts back to using BIO_set_data, with our fallback, as a small
optimization as BIO_set_app_data require the ex_data mechanism in OpenSSL.

Previously, per-script statistics were never output when all
transactions failed due to serialization or deadlock errors. However,
it is reasonable to report such information if there are ones even
when there are no successful transaction since these failed
transactions are now objects to be reported.
Meanwhile, if the total number of successful, skipped, and failed
transactions is zero, we don't have to report the number of failed
transactions as similar to the number of skipped transactions, which
avoids to print "NaN%" in lines on failed transaction reports.
Also, the number of transactions in per-script results now includes
skipped and failed transactions. It prevents to print "total of NaN%"
when any transactions are not successfully processed. The number of
transactions actually processed per-script and TPS based on it are now
output explicitly in a separate line.

c01743aa4 added EXPLAIN output to display the plan node's disabled_node
count whenever that count is above 0. Seemingly, there weren't many
people who liked that output as each parent of a disabled node would
also have a "Disabled Nodes" output due to the way disabled_nodes is
accumulated towards the root plan node. It was often hard and sometimes
impossible to figure out which nodes were disabled from looking at
EXPLAIN. You might think it would be possible to manually add up the
numbers from the "Disabled Nodes" output of a given node's children to
figure out if that node has a higher disabled_nodes count than its
children, but that wouldn't have worked for Append and Merge Append nodes
if some disabled child nodes were run-time pruned during init plan. Those
children are not displayed in EXPLAIN.
Here we attempt to improve this output by only showing "Disabled: true"
against only the nodes which are explicitly disabled themselves. That
seems to be the output that's desired by the most people who voiced
their opinion. This is done by summing up the disabled_nodes of the
given node's children and checking if that number is less than the
disabled_nodes of the current node.
This commit also fixes a bug in make_sort() which was neglecting to set
the Sort's disabled_nodes field. This should have copied what was done
in cost_sort(), but it hadn't been updated. With the new output, the
choice to not maintain that field properly was clearly wrong as the
disabled-ness of the node was attributed to the Sort's parent instead.

pg_constraint.coninhcount from 32 to 16 bits, but kept other related
structs with 32-bit wide fields: ColumnDef and CookedConstraint contain
an int 'inhcount' field which is itself checked for overflow on
increments, but there's no check that the values aren't above INT16_MAX
before assigning to the catalog columns. This means that a creative
user can get a inconsistent table definition and override some

moving such a clause into WHERE could potentially change the results.
Now, with expressions marked nullable by grouping sets with the RT

For a mergejoin, if the given outer path or inner path is not already
well enough ordered, we need to do an explicit sort. Currently, we
only consider explicit full sort and do not account for incremental
sort.
In this patch, for the outer path of a mergejoin, we choose to use
explicit incremental sort if it is enabled and there are presorted
keys. For the inner path, though, we cannot use incremental sort
because it does not support mark/restore at present.
The rationale is based on the assumption that incremental sort is
always faster than full sort when there are presorted keys, a premise
that has been applied in various parts of the code. In addition, the
current cost model tends to favor incremental sort as being cheaper
than full sort in the presence of presorted keys, making it reasonable
not to consider full sort in such cases.
It could be argued that what if a mergejoin with an incremental sort
as the outer path is selected as the inner path of another mergejoin.
However, this should not be a problem, because mergejoin itself does
not support mark/restore either, and we will add a Material node on
top of it anyway in this case (see final_cost_mergejoin).
There is one ensuing plan change in the regression tests, and we have
to modify that test case to ensure that it continues to test what it
is intended to.
No backpatch as this could result in plan changes.

We could continue to cross segment boundaries when not using AIO, but it

across the segment boundary in one system call. Which means we'll mark more

though I see no actual readability benefit in this.
This seems nicer than having to duplicate the logic between
InitProcess() and ProcKill() for which child processes have a
PMChildFlags slot.
Move the MarkPostmasterChildActive() call earlier in InitProcess(),
out of the section protected by the spinlock.

The code path for launching a dead-end backend because we're out of
slots was not covered by any tests, so add one. (Some tests did hit
the case of launching a dead-end backend because the server is still
starting up, though, so the gap in our test coverage wasn't as big as
it sounds.)
