It's unclear why a separate type would be needed here. We use plain
pid_t (or int) everywhere else.
(The only relevant platform where pid_t is not int is 64-bit MinGW,
where it is long long int. So defining pid_t as long (which is 32-bit
on Windows), as was done here, doesn't even accommodate that one.)

Because of a small thinko in 7844c9918a,
psql -c would exit successfully when a query is canceled. Fix this so
that it exits with a nonzero status, just like for all other errors.
Since pg_backup_start() and pg_backup_stop() exist, the tablespace map
data and the backup state data (backup_label string until 7d70809) have
been allocated in the TopMemoryContext. This approach would cause
memory leaks in the session calling these functions if failures happen
before pg_backup_stop() ends, leaking more memory on repeated failures.
Both things need little memory so that would not be really noticeable
for most users, except perhaps connection poolers with long-lived
connections able to trigger backup failures with these functions.
This commit improves the logic in this area by not allocating anymore
the backup-related data that needs to travel across the SQL-callable
backup functions in TopMemoryContext, by using instead a dedicated
memory context child of TopMemoryContext. The memory context is created
in pg_backup_start() and deleted when finishing pg_backup_stop(). In
the event of an in-flight failure, this memory context gets reset in the
follow-up pg_backup_start() call, so as we are sure that only one run
worth of data is leaked at any time. Some cleanup was already done for
the backup data on a follow-up call of pg_backup_start(), but using a
memory context makes the whole simpler.
BASE_BACKUP commands are executed in isolation, relying on the memory
context created for replication commands, hence these do not need such
an extra logic.

Specifically, when pg_basebackup is invoked with -Tx=y, don't error
out if x could plausibly be an absolute path either on Windows or on
non-Windows systems. We don't know whether the remote system is
running the same OS as the local system, so it's not appropriate to

It happens that the parts of hba.conf that are planned to be extended
to support regular expressions would finish by using the same error
message as the one used currently for pg_ident.conf when a regular
expression cannot be compiled, as long as the routine centralizing the
logic, regcomp_auth_token(), knows from which file the regexp comes from
and its line location in the so-said file.
This change makes the follow-up patches slightly simpler, and the logic
remains the same. I suspect that this makes the proposal to add support
for file inclusions in pg_ident.conf and pg_hba.conf slightly simpler,
as well.

Various test suites use the "openssl" program as part of their setup.
There isn't a way to override which openssl program is to be used,
other than by fiddling with the path, perhaps. This has gotten
increasingly problematic because different versions of openssl have
different capabilities and do different things by default.
This patch checks for an openssl binary in configure and meson setup,
with appropriate ways to override it. This is similar to how "lz4"
and "zstd" are handled, for example. The meson build system actually
already did this, but the result was only used in some places. This
is now applied more uniformly.

This makes the choice of result scale of numeric power() for integer
exponents consistent with the choice for non-integer exponents, and
with the result scale of other numeric functions. Specifically, the
result scale will be at least as large as the scale of either input,
and sufficient to ensure that the result has at least 16 significant
digits.
Formerly, the result scale was based only on the scale of the first
input, without taking into account the weight of the result. For
results with negative weight, that could lead to results with very few
or even no non-zero significant digits (e.g., 10.0 ^ (-18) produced
0.0000000000000000).
Fix this by moving responsibility for the choice of result scale into
power_var_int(), which already has code to estimate the result weight.

When the logical decoding restarts from NEW_CID, since there is no
association between the top transaction and its subtransaction, both are
created as top transactions and have the same LSN. This caused the
assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder().
This patch skips the assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we
start decoding the contents of the transaction, specifically
start_decoding_at LSN in SnapBuild. This is okay because we don't
guarantee to make the association between top transaction and
subtransaction until we try to decode the actual contents of transaction.
The ordering of the records prior to the start_decoding_at LSN should have
been checked before the restart.
The other assertion failure is due to the reason that we forgot to track
that we have considered top-level transaction id in the list of catalog
changing transactions that were committed when one of its subtransactions
is marked as containing catalog change.

We had two copies of almost identical logic to revert shared memory
state when a running backup aborts; we can remove
pg_backup_start_callback if we adapt do_pg_abort_backup so that it can
be used for this purpose too.
However, in order for this to work, we have to repurpose the flag passed
to do_pg_abort_backup. It used to indicate whether to throw a warning
(and the only caller always passed true). It now indicates whether the
callback is being called at start time (in which case the session backup
state is known not to have been set to RUNNING yet, so action is always
taken) or shmem time (in which case action is only taken if the session
backup state is RUNNING). Thus the meaning of the flag is no longer
superfluous, but it's actually quite critical to get right. I (Álvaro)
chose to change the polarity and the code flow re. the flag from what
Bharath submitted, for coding clarity.

archive_library on SIGHUP, which is something that we want to avoid to

Anyway, an ERROR in the archiver process is treated as a FATAL, stopping

Instead of that, the shutdown callback is not called upon
before_shmem_exit(), giving to the modules the opportunity to do any
cleanup actions before the server shuts down its subsystems.

Also add "-e" and "-n" options to make_ctags. The -e option invokes

AuthToken gains a regular expression, and IdentLine is changed so as it
uses an AuthToken rather than tracking separately the ident user string
used for the regex compilation and its generated regex_t. In the case
of pg_ident.conf, a set of AuthTokens is built in the pre-parsing phase
of the file, and an extra regular expression is compiled when building
the list of IdentLines, after checking the sanity of the fields in a
pre-parsed entry.
The logic in charge of computing and executing regular expressions is
now done in a new set of routines called respectively
regcomp_auth_token() and regexec_auth_token() that are wrappers around
pg_regcomp() and pg_regexec(), working on AuthTokens. While on it, this
patch adds a routine able to free an AuthToken, free_auth_token(), to
simplify a bit the logic around the requirement of using a specific free
routine for computed regular expressions. Note that there are no
functional or behavior changes introduced by this commit.
The goal of this patch is to ease the use of regular expressions with
more items of pg_hba.conf (user list, database list, potentially
hostnames) where AuthTokens are used extensively. This will be tackled

Preprocessing of the HAVING clause will reduce havingQual to NIL
if the clause is constant-TRUE. This is one case where that
convention is rather unfortunate, because "HAVING TRUE" is not at all
the same as not having any HAVING clause at all. (Per the SQL spec,
it still forces the query to be grouped.) The planner deals with this
by having a boolean hasHavingQual that records whether havingQual was
originally nonempty; places that just want to check whether HAVING
was specified are supposed to consult that.
I found three places that got that wrong. Fortunately, these could
only affect cost estimates not correctness. It'd be hard even
to demonstrate the errors; for example, the one in allpaths.c would
only matter in a query that has HAVING TRUE but no GROUP BY and no
aggregates, which would require a completely variable-free SELECT
list, making the case probably of only academic interest. Hence,
while these are worth fixing before someone copies the incorrect
coding somewhere more critical, they don't seem worth back-patching.
I didn't bother trying to devise regression tests, either.

When creating a cast that uses a conversion function, we've
historically allowed the input and result types to be
binary-compatible with the function's input and result types,
rather than necessarily being identical. This means that the new
cast is logically dependent on the binary-compatible cast or casts
that it references: if those are defined by pg_cast entries, and you
try to restore the new cast without having defined them, it'll fail.
Hence, we should make pg_depend entries to record these dependencies
so that pg_dump knows that there is an ordering requirement.
This is not the only place where we allow such shortcuts; aggregate
functions for example are similarly lax, and in principle should gain
similar dependencies. However, for now it seems sufficient to fix
the cast-versus-cast case, as pg_dump's other ordering heuristics
should keep it out of trouble for other object types.
Per report from David Turoň; thanks also to Robert Haas for
preliminary investigation. I considered back-patching, but
seeing that this issue has existed for many years without

snprintf.c has always fallen back on libc's *printf implementation
when printing pointers (%p) and floats. When this code originated,
we were still supporting some platforms that lacked native snprintf,

but nonetheless builds on macOS are starting to complain about sprintf

platforms follow suit. There seems little reason to believe that any
platform supporting C99 wouldn't have standards-compliant snprintf,
so let's just use that instead to suppress such warnings.

usages of libc's sprintf. It is enough in v12+ because any
deprecation annotation attached to libc's sprintf won't apply to
pg_sprintf. (Whether all our usages of pg_sprintf are adequately

To make it easier to detect the last time a relation has been scanned, track

The previous patch made addition of new GUCs cheap, but other GUC
operations aren't improved and indeed get a bit slower, because
hash_seq_search() is slower than just scanning a pointer array.
However, most performance-critical GUC operations only need
to touch a relatively small fraction of the GUCs; especially
so for AtEOXact_GUC(). We can improve matters at the cost
of a bit more space by adding dlist or slist links to the
GUC data structures. This patch invents lists that track
(1) all GUCs with non-default "source";
(2) all GUCs with nonempty state stack (implying they've
been changed in the current transaction);
(3) all GUCs due for reporting to the client.
All of guc.c's performance-critical cases can make use of one or
another of these lists to avoid searching the whole hash table.
In particular, the stack list means that transaction end
doesn't take time proportional to the number of GUCs, but
only to the number changed in the current transaction.

This gets rid of bsearch() in favor of hashed lookup. The main
advantage is that it becomes far cheaper to add new GUCs, since
we needn't re-sort the pointer array. Adding N new GUCs had
been O(N^2 log N), but now it's closer to O(N). We need to
sort only in SHOW ALL and equivalent functions, which are
hopefully not performance-critical to anybody.
Also, merge GetNumConfigOptions() into get_guc_variables(),
because in a world where the set of GUCs isn't fairly static
you really want to consider those two results as tied together
not independent.

The only real argument for using malloc directly was that we needed
the ability to not throw error on OOM; but mcxt.c grew that feature
awhile ago.
Keeping the data in a memory context improves accountability and
debuggability --- for example, without this it's almost impossible
to detect memory leaks in the GUC code with anything less costly
than valgrind. Moreover, the next patch in this series will add a
hash table for GUC lookup, and it'd be pretty silly to be using
palloc-dependent hash facilities alongside malloc'd storage of the
underlying data.
This is a bit invasive though, in particular causing an API break
for GUC check hooks that want to modify the GUC's value or use an
"extra" data structure. They must now use guc_malloc() and
guc_free() instead of malloc() and free(). Failure to change
affected code will result in assertion failures or worse; but
thanks to recent effort in the mcxt infrastructure, it shouldn't
be too hard to diagnose such oversights (at least in assert-enabled
builds).
One note is that this changes ParseLongOption() to return short-lived
palloc'd not malloc'd data. There wasn't any caller for which the
previous definition was better.

We lack a version of repalloc() that supports MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM
semantics, so invent repalloc_extended() with the usual set of
flags. repalloc_huge() becomes a legacy wrapper for that.
Also, fix dynahash.c so that it can support HASH_ENTER_NULL
requests when using the default palloc-based allocator.
The only reason it didn't do that already was the lack of the
MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM option when that code was written, ages ago.
While here, simplify a few overcomplicated tests in mcxt.c.

Most code prints PIDs as %d, but some code tried to print them as long
or unsigned long. While this is in theory allowed, the fact that PIDs
fit into int is deeply baked into all PostgreSQL code, so these random
deviations don't accomplish anything except confusion.
Note that we still need casts from pid_t to int, because on 64-bit
MinGW, pid_t is long long int. (But per above, actually supporting
that range in PostgreSQL code would be major surgery and probably not
useful.)

The comment talked about some Asserts which did not exist and also a
variable name which seems to have long since disappeared.
Rewrite the comment in a way that will hopefully stand the test of
time and inform people why we always write "INSERT 0 <nrows>" instead of
"INSERT <nrows>" in the command completion tag for INSERT.

This is a follow-up commit to ca7f8e2 which removed the allocation
abstraction from pgcrypto and replaced px_alloc + memset calls with
palloc0 calls. The particular memset in this commit was missed in
that work though.

Using pg_buffercache_summary() is significantly cheaper than querying
pg_buffercache and summarizing in SQL.
