Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for
each test suite, which is slow and wasteful. Instead, we now create one
test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a
make run.
The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress
and handled in the makefiles. This allows for better control, and
unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress.

This improves on commit bbfd7edae5 by
making two simple changes:
* pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn().
Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces
pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them.
* attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not
definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts,
which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent
but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a
noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if
we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc
compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns.
I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of
declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete
anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
PL/Python uses str() to convert Python values back to PostgreSQL, but
str() is lossy for float values, so use repr() instead in that case.

Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but
gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers;
which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just
generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h.
Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf,
pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that
understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed,
but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality.
This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on
__attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into
warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many
occurances of that and it's hard to work around...

Author: Oskari Saarenmaa, with some minor changes by me.
Previously, if you wanted anything besides C-string hash keys, you had to
specify a custom hashing function to hash_create(). Nearly all such
callers were specifying tag_hash or oid_hash; which is tedious, and rather
error-prone, since a caller could easily miss the opportunity to optimize
by using hash_uint32 when appropriate. Replace this with a design whereby
callers using simple binary-data keys just specify HASH_BLOBS and don't
need to mess with specific support functions. hash_create() itself will
take care of optimizing when the key size is four bytes.
This nets out saving a few hundred bytes of code space, and offers
a measurable performance improvement in tidbitmap.c (which was not
exploiting the opportunity to use hash_uint32 for its 4-byte keys).
There might be some wins elsewhere too, I didn't analyze closely.
In future we could look into offering a similar optimized hashing function
for 8-byte keys. Under this design that could be done in a centralized
and machine-independent fashion, whereas getting it right for keys of
platform-dependent sizes would've been notationally painful before.
For the moment, the old way still works fine, so as not to break source
code compatibility for loadable modules. Eventually we might want to
remove tag_hash and friends from the exported API altogether, since there's
no real need for them to be explicitly referenced from outside dynahash.c.

The reasons behind commit 0d147e43ad still
stand, so this reverts the non-cosmetic portion of commit
a7983e989d. Back-patch to 9.4, where the
latter commit first appeared.
Prominent binaries already had this metadata. A handful of minor
binaries, such as pg_regress.exe, still lack it; efforts to eliminate
such exceptions are welcome.

Allow PL/Python functions to return arrays of composite types.
Also, fix the restriction that plpy.prepare/plpy.execute couldn't
handle query parameters or result columns of composite types.
In passing, adopt a saner arrangement for where to release the
tupledesc reference counts acquired via lookup_rowtype_tupdesc.
The callers of PLyObject_ToCompositeDatum were doing the lookups,
but then the releases happened somewhere down inside subroutines
of PLyObject_ToCompositeDatum, which is bizarre and bug-prone.
Instead release in the same function that acquires the refcount.

This test previously used a data value containing U+0080, and would
therefore fail if the database encoding didn't have an equivalent to
that; which only about half of our supported server encodings do.
We could fall back to using some plain-ASCII character, but that seems
like it's losing most of the point of the test. Instead switch to using
U+00A0 (no-break space), which translates into all our supported encodings
except the four in the EUC_xx family.
Per buildfarm testing. Back-patch to 9.1, which is as far back as this
test is expected to succeed everywhere. (9.0 has the test, but without
back-patching some 9.1 code changes we could not expect to get consistent
results across platforms anyway.)
As of Xcode 5.0, Apple isn't including the Python framework as part of the
SDK-level files, which means that linking to it might fail depending on
whether Xcode thinks you've selected a specific SDK version. According to
their Tech Note 2328, they've basically deprecated the framework method of
linking to libpython and are telling people to link to the shared library
normally. (I'm pretty sure this is in direct contradiction to the advice
they were giving a few years ago, but whatever.) Testing says that this
approach works fine at least as far back as OS X 10.4.11, so let's just
rip out the framework special case entirely. We do still need a special
case to decide that OS X provides a shared library at all, unfortunately
(I wonder why the distutils check doesn't work ...). But this is still
less of a special case than before, so it's fine.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since we'll doubtless be hearing
about this more as more people update to recent Xcode.
The error test case in the plpython_do test resulted in a slightly
different error message with Python 3.4. So pick a different way to
test it that avoids that and is perhaps also a bit clearer.
Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically
loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is
meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files,
but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant.
Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of
compiler warnings in extension modules.
We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That
makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where
the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that
functions have the right prototype.
Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.
These functions won't throw an error if the object doesn't exist,

We must increment the refcount on "plntup" as soon as we have the
reference, not sometime later. Otherwise, if an error is thrown in
between, the Py_XDECREF(plntup) call in the PG_CATCH block removes a
refcount we didn't add, allowing the object to be freed even though
it's still part of the plpython function's parsetree.
This appears to be the cause of crashes seen on buildfarm member
prairiedog. It's a bit surprising that we've not seen it fail repeatably
before, considering that the regression tests have been exercising the
faulty code path since 2009.
The real-world impact is probably minimal, since it's unlikely anyone would
be provoking the "TD["new"] is not a dictionary" error in production, and
that's the only case that is actually wrong. Still, it's a bug affecting
the regression tests, so patch all supported branches.
In passing, remove dead variable "plstr", and demote "platt" to a local
variable inside the PG_TRY block, since we don't need to clean it up
in the PG_CATCH path.
A large majority of the callers of pg_do_encoding_conversion were
specifying the database encoding as either source or target of the
conversion, meaning that we can use the less general functions
pg_any_to_server/pg_server_to_any instead.
The main advantage of using the latter functions is that they can make use
of a cached conversion-function lookup in the common case that the other
encoding is the current client_encoding. It's notationally cleaner too in
most cases, not least because of the historical artifact that the latter
functions use "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" in their APIs.
Note that pg_any_to_server will apply an encoding verification step in
some cases where pg_do_encoding_conversion would have just done nothing.
This seems to me to be a good idea at most of these call sites, though
it partially negates the performance benefit.
Per discussion of bug #9210.
The primary role of PL validators is to be called implicitly during
CREATE FUNCTION, but they are also normal functions that a user can call
explicitly. Add a permissions check to each validator to ensure that a
user cannot use explicit validator calls to achieve things he could not
otherwise achieve. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions).
Non-core procedural language extensions ought to make the same two-line
change to their own validators.

This build technique is remarkably ugly, but that doesn't mean it has
to be unreadable too. Be a bit more liberal with the vertical whitespace,
and give the .def file a proper dependency, just in case.
Instead of changing the tuple xmin to FrozenTransactionId, the combination
of HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED and HEAP_XMIN_INVALID, which were previously never
set together, is now defined as HEAP_XMIN_FROZEN. A variety of previous
proposals to freeze tuples opportunistically before vacuum_freeze_min_age
is reached have foundered on the objection that replacing xmin by
FrozenTransactionId might hinder debugging efforts when things in this
area go awry; this patch is intended to solve that problem by keeping
the XID around (but largely ignoring the value to which it is set).
Third-party code that checks for HEAP_XMIN_INVALID on tuples where
HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED might be set will be broken by this change. To fix,
use the new accessor macros in htup_details.h rather than consulting the
bits directly. HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin has been modified to return
FrozenTransactionId when the infomask bits indicate that the tuple is
frozen; use HeapTupleHeaderGetRawXmin when you already know that the
tuple isn't marked commited or frozen, or want the raw value anyway.
We currently do this in routines that display the xmin for user consumption,
in tqual.c where it's known to be safe and important for the avoidance of
extra cycles, and in the function-caching code for various procedural
languages, which shouldn't invalidate the cache just because the tuple
gets frozen.

We had coverage for functions returning setof a named composite type,
but not for anonymous records, which is a somewhat different code path.
In view of recent crash report from Sergey Konoplev, this seems worth
testing, though I doubt there's any deterministic bug here today.
I neglected this in the previous commit that updated the plpython2 output,
which I forgot to "git add" earlier.
As pointed out by Rodolfo Campero and Marko Kreen.
Domains over arrays are now converted to/from python lists when passed as
arguments or return values. Like regular arrays.
This has some potential to break applications that rely on the old behavior
that they are passed as strings, but in practice there probably aren't many
such applications out there.
Rodolfo Campero
When we are using a C99-compliant vsnprintf implementation (which should be
most places, these days) it is worth the trouble to make use of its report
of how large the buffer needs to be to succeed. This patch adjusts
stringinfo.c and some miscellaneous usages in pg_dump to do that, relying
on the logic recently added in libpgcommon's psprintf.c. Since these
places want to know the number of bytes written once we succeed, modify the
API of pvsnprintf() to report that.
There remains near-duplicate logic in pqexpbuffer.c, but since that code
is in libpq, psprintf.c's approach of exit()-on-error isn't appropriate
for use there. Also note that I didn't bother touching the multitude
of places that call (v)snprintf without any attempt to provide a resizable
buffer.
Release-note-worthy incompatibility: the API of appendStringInfoVA()
changed. If there's any third-party code that's calling that directly,
it will need tweaking along the same lines as in this patch.
David Rowley and Tom Lane
Similar to 2cfb1c6f77, the order in which
dictionary elements are printed is not reliable. This reappeared in the
tests of the string representation of result objects. Reduce the test
case to one result set column so that there is no question of order.
plpgsql often just remembers SPI-result tuple tables in local variables,
and has no mechanism for freeing them if an ereport(ERROR) causes an escape
out of the execution function whose local variable it is. In the original
coding, that wasn't a problem because the tuple table would be cleaned up
when the function's SPI context went away during transaction abort.
However, once plpgsql grew the ability to trap exceptions, repeated
trapping of errors within a function could result in significant
intra-function-call memory leakage, as illustrated in bug #8279 from
Chad Wagner.
We could fix this locally in plpgsql with a bunch of PG_TRY/PG_CATCH
coding, but that would be tedious, probably slow, and prone to bugs of
omission; moreover it would do nothing for similar risks elsewhere.
What seems like a better plan is to make SPI itself responsible for
freeing tuple tables at subtransaction abort. This patch attacks the
problem that way, keeping a list of live tuple tables within each SPI
function context. Currently, such freeing is automatic for tuple tables
made within the failed subtransaction. We might later add a SPI call to
mark a tuple table as not to be freed this way, allowing callers to opt
out; but until someone exhibits a clear use-case for such behavior, it
doesn't seem worth bothering.
A very useful side-effect of this change is that SPI_freetuptable() can
now defend itself against bad calls, such as duplicate free requests;
this should make things more robust in many places. (In particular,
this reduces the risks involved if a third-party extension contains
now-redundant SPI_freetuptable() calls in error cleanup code.)
Even though the leakage problem is of long standing, it seems imprudent
to back-patch this into stable branches, since it does represent an API
semantics change for SPI users. We'll patch this in 9.3, but live with
the leakage in older branches.
If an error is thrown out of the datatype I/O functions called by this
function, we need to do subtransaction cleanup, which the previous coding
entirely failed to do. Fortunately, both existing callers of this function
already have proper cleanup logic, so re-throwing the exception is enough.
Also, postpone creation of the resultset tupdesc until after the I/O
conversions are complete, so that we won't leak memory in TopMemoryContext
when such an error happens.
The old implementation converted PostgreSQL numeric to Python float,
which was always considered a shortcoming. Now numeric is converted to
the Python Decimal object. Either the external cdecimal module or the
standard library decimal module are supported.

Memory was allocated based on the sizeof a type that was not the type of

This confused Cygwin's make because of the colon in the path. The
