This was useful before widespread Unicode adoption, and was based on the
internal encoding Emacs used to mix multiple sub-encodings. Emacs
itself has stopped using it, and our implementation hadn't been updated
with modern underlying standards. It is thought to be very unlikely
that anyone is still using it in the field. Since such a complex
encoding comes with costs and risks, we agreed to drop support.
Any existing database using this encoding would need to be dumped and
restored with a new encoding to upgrade to PostgreSQL 19, most likely
UTF8, since pg_upgrade would fail.

Separate att_align_nominal() into two macros, similarly to what
was already done with att_align_datum() and att_align_pointer().
The inner macro att_nominal_alignby() is really just TYPEALIGN(),
while att_align_nominal() retains its previous API by mapping
TYPALIGN_xxx values to numbers of bytes to align to and then
calling att_nominal_alignby(). In support of this, split out
tupdesc.c's logic to do that mapping into a publicly visible
function typalign_to_alignby().
Having done that, we can replace performance-critical uses of
att_align_nominal() with att_nominal_alignby(), where the
typalign_to_alignby() mapping is done just once outside the loop.
In most places I settled for doing typalign_to_alignby() once
per function. We could in many places pass the alignby value
in from the caller if we wanted to change function APIs for this
purpose; but I'm a bit loath to do that, especially for exported
APIs that extensions might call. Replacing a char typalign
argument by a uint8 typalignby argument would be an API change
that compilers would fail to warn about, thus silently breaking
code in hard-to-debug ways. I did revise the APIs of array_iter_setup
and array_iter_next, moving the element type attribute arguments to
the former; if any external code uses those, the argument-count
change will cause visible compile failures.
Performance testing shows that ExecEvalScalarArrayOp is sped up by
about 10% by this change, when using a simple per-element function
such as int8eq. I did not check any of the other loops optimized
here, but it's reasonable to expect similar gains.
Although the motivation for creating this patch was to avoid a
performance loss if we add some more typalign values, it evidently
is worth doing whether that patch lands or not.

The initialization of PL/Python (the Python interpreter, the global

functions with unclear and confusing boundaries. For example,
PLy_init_interp() said "Initialize the Python interpreter ..." but it

module" but it didn't do that either. After this change, all the
global initialization is called directly from _PG_init(), and the plpy

If we're trying to perform check_function_bodies validation
of a PL/Python trigger function, we create a new PLyProcedure,
but we don't put it into the PLy_procedure_cache hash table.
(Doing so would be useless, since we don't have the relation
OID that is part of the cache key for a trigger function, so
we could not make an entry that would be found by later uses.)
However, we didn't think through what to do instead, with the
result that the PLyProcedure was simply leaked.
It would take a pretty large number of CREATE FUNCTION operations
for this to amount to a serious problem, but it's easy to see the
memory bloat if you do CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION in a loop.
To fix, have PLy_procedure_get delete the new PLyProcedure
and return NULL if it's not going to cache the PLyProcedure.
I considered making plpython3_validator do the cleanup instead,
which would be more natural. But then plpython3_validator would
have to know the rules under which PLy_procedure_get returns a
non-cached PLyProcedure, else it risks deleting something that's
pointed to by a cache entry. On the whole it seems more robust
to deal with the case inside PLy_procedure_get.
Found by the new version of Coverity (nice catch!). In the end
I feel this fix is more about satisfying Coverity than about
fixing a real-world problem, so I'm not going to back-patch.
Commit c6f7f11d8 intended to prevent leaking any PyObject reference
counts in edge cases (such as out-of-memory during string
construction), but actually it introduced a leak in the normal case.
Repeating an error-trapping operation often enough would lead to
session-lifespan memory bloat. The problem is that I failed to
think about the fact that PyObject_GetAttrString() increments the
refcount of the returned PyObject, so that simply walking down the
list of error frame objects causes all but the first one to have
their refcount incremented.
I experimented with several more-or-less-complex ways around that,
and eventually concluded that the right fix is simply to drop the
newly-obtained refcount as soon as we walk to the next frame
object in PLy_traceback. This sounds unsafe, but it's perfectly
okay because the caller holds a refcount on the first frame object
and each frame object holds a refcount on the next one; so the
current frame object can't disappear underneath us.
By the same token, we can simplify the caller's cleanup back to
simply dropping its refcount on the first object. Cleanup of
each frame object will lead in turn to the refcount of the next
one going to zero.
I also added a couple of comments explaining why PLy_elog_impl()
doesn't try to free the strings acquired from PLy_get_spi_error_data()
or PLy_get_error_data(). That's because I got here by looking at a
Coverity complaint about how those strings might get leaked. They
are not leaked, but in testing that I discovered this other leak.
Back-patch, as c6f7f11d8 was. It's a bit nervous-making to be
putting such a fix into v13, which is only a couple weeks from its
final release; but I can't see that leaving a recently-introduced
leak in place is a better idea.

5983a4cff added CompactAttribute for storing commonly used fields from
FormData_pg_attribute. 5983a4cff didn't go to the trouble of adjusting
every location where we can use CompactAttribute rather than
FormData_pg_attribute, so here we change the remaining ones.
There are some locations where I've left the code using
FormData_pg_attribute. These are mostly in the ALTER TABLE code. Using
CompactAttribute here seems more risky as often the TupleDesc is being
changed and those changes may not have been flushed to the
CompactAttribute yet.
I've also left record_recv(), record_send(), record_cmp(), record_eq()
and record_image_eq() alone as it's not clear to me that accessing the
CompactAttribute is a win here due to the FormData_pg_attribute still
having to be accessed for most cases. Switching the relevant parts to
use CompactAttribute would result in having to access both for common
cases. Careful benchmarking may reveal that something can be done to
make this better, but in absence of that, the safer option is to leave
these alone.
In ReorderBufferToastReplace(), there was a check to skip attnums < 0
while looping over the TupleDesc. Doing this is redundant since
TupleDescs don't store < 0 attnums. Removing that code allows us to
move to using CompactAttribute.
The change in validateDomainCheckConstraint() just moves fetching the
FormData_pg_attribute into the ERROR path, which is cold due to calling
errstart_cold() and results in code being moved out of the common path.

Up to now we've contented ourselves with a one-size-fits-all error
hint when we fail to find any match to a function or procedure call.
That was mostly okay in the beginning, but it was never great, and
since the introduction of named arguments it's really not adequate.
We at least ought to distinguish "function name doesn't exist" from
"function name exists, but not with those argument names". And the
rules for named-argument matching are arcane enough that some more
detail seems warranted if we match the argument names but the call
still doesn't work.
This patch creates a framework for dealing with these problems:
FuncnameGetCandidates and related code will now pass back a bitmask of
flags showing how far the match succeeded. This allows a considerable
amount of granularity in the reports. The set-bits-in-a-bitmask
approach means that when there are multiple candidate functions, the
report will reflect the match(es) that got the furthest, which seems
correct. Also, we can avoid mentioning "maybe add casts" unless
failure to match argument types is actually the issue.
Extend the same return-a-bitmask approach to OpernameGetCandidates.
The issues around argument names don't apply to operator syntax,
but it still seems worth distinguishing between "there is no
operator of that name" and "we couldn't match the argument types".
While at it, adjust these messages and related ones to more strictly
separate "detail" from "hint", following our message style guidelines'
distinction between those.

For many optional libraries, we extract the -L and -l switches needed
to link the library from a helper program such as llvm-config. In
some cases we put the resulting -L switches into LDFLAGS ahead of
-L switches specified via --with-libraries. That risks breaking
the user's intention for --with-libraries.
It's not such a problem if the library's -L switch points to a
directory containing only that library, but on some platforms a
library helper may "helpfully" offer a switch such as -L/usr/lib
that points to a directory holding all standard libraries. If the
user specified --with-libraries in hopes of overriding the standard
build of some library, the -L/usr/lib switch prevents that from
happening since it will come before the user-specified directory.
To fix, avoid inserting these switches directly into LDFLAGS during
configure, instead adding them to LIBDIRS or SHLIB_LINK. They will
still eventually get added to LDFLAGS, but only after the switches
coming from --with-libraries.
The same problem exists for -I switches: those coming from
--with-includes should appear before any coming from helper programs
such as llvm-config. We have not heard field complaints about this
case, but it seems certain that a user attempting to override a
standard library could have issues.
The changes for this go well beyond configure itself, however,
because many Makefiles have occasion to manipulate CPPFLAGS to
insert locally-desirable -I switches, and some of them got it wrong.
The correct ordering is any -I switches pointing at within-the-
source-tree-or-build-tree directories, then those from the tree-wide
CPPFLAGS, then those from helper programs. There were several places
that risked pulling in a system-supplied copy of libpq headers, for
example, instead of the in-tree files. (Commit cb36f8ec2 fixed one
instance of that a few months ago, but this exercise found more.)
The Meson build scripts may or may not have any comparable problems,
but I'll leave it to someone else to investigate that.

Our maintenance of typedefs.list has been a little haphazard
(and apparently we can't alphabetize worth a darn). Replace
the file with the authoritative list from our buildfarm, and
run pgindent using that.
I also updated the additions/exclusions lists in pgindent where
necessary to keep pgindent from messing things up significantly.
Notably, now that regex_t and some related names are macros not real
typedefs, we have to whitelist them explicitly. The exclusions list
has also drifted noticeably, presumably due to changes of system
headers on the buildfarm animals that contribute to the list.
Unlike in prior years, I've not manually added typedef names that
are missing from the buildfarm's list because they are not used to
declare any variables or fields. So there are a few places where
the typedef declaration itself is formatted worse than before,
e.g. typedef enum IoMethod. I could preserve the names that were
manually added to the list previously, but I'd really prefer to find
a less manual way of dealing with these cases. A quick grep finds
about 75 such symbols, most of which have never gotten any special
treatment.
Per discussion among pgsql-release, doing this now seems appropriate
even though we're still a week or two away from making the v18 branch.
PLy_elog_impl and its subroutine PLy_traceback intended to avoid
leaking any PyObject reference counts, but their coverage of the
matter was sadly incomplete. In particular, out-of-memory errors
in most of the string-construction subroutines could lead to
reference count leaks, because those calls were outside the
PG_TRY blocks responsible for dropping reference counts.
Fix by (a) adjusting the scopes of the PG_TRY blocks, and
(b) moving the responsibility for releasing the reference counts
of the traceback-stack objects to PLy_elog_impl. This requires
some additional "volatile" markers, but not too many.
In passing, fix an ancient thinko: use of the "e_module_o" PyObject
was guarded by "if (e_type_s)", where surely "if (e_module_o)"
was meant. This would only have visible consequences if the
"__name__" attribute were present but the "__module__" attribute
wasn't, which apparently never happens; but someday it might.
Rearranging the PG_TRY blocks requires indenting a fair amount
of code one more tab stop, which I'll do separately for clarity.

plpython.h included plpy_util.h, simply on the grounds that "it's

it's poor design. We have seen serious messes arise in the past

This reverts commit c47e8df815.
That commit makes the plpython tests crash with Python 3.6.* and
3.7.*. It will need further investigation and testing, so revert for
now.
This adds a new variant of generated columns that are computed on read
(like a view, unlike the existing stored generated columns, which are
computed on write, like a materialized view).
The syntax for the column definition is
... GENERATED ALWAYS AS (...) VIRTUAL
and VIRTUAL is also optional. VIRTUAL is the default rather than
STORED to match various other SQL products. (The SQL standard makes
no specification about this, but it also doesn't know about VIRTUAL or
STORED.) (Also, virtual views are the default, rather than
materialized views.)
Virtual generated columns are stored in tuples as null values. (A
very early version of this patch had the ambition to not store them at
all. But so much stuff breaks or gets confused if you have tuples
where a column in the middle is completely missing. This is a
compromise, and it still saves space over being forced to use stored
generated columns. If we ever find a way to improve this, a bit of
pg_upgrade cleverness could allow for upgrades to a newer scheme.)
The capabilities and restrictions of virtual generated columns are
mostly the same as for stored generated columns. In some cases, this
patch keeps virtual generated columns more restricted than they might
technically need to be, to keep the two kinds consistent. Some of
that could maybe be relaxed later after separate careful
considerations.
Some functionality that is currently not supported, but could possibly
be added as incremental features, some easier than others:
- index on or using a virtual column
- hence also no unique constraints on virtual columns
- extended statistics on virtual columns
- foreign-key constraints on virtual columns
- not-null constraints on virtual columns (check constraints are supported)
- ALTER TABLE / DROP EXPRESSION
- virtual column cannot have domain type
- virtual columns are not supported in logical replication
The tests in generated_virtual.sql have been copied over from
generated_stored.sql with the keyword replaced. This way we can make
sure the behavior is mostly aligned, and the differences can be
visible. Some tests for currently not supported features are
currently commented out.

SPI_connect/SPI_connect_ext have not returned any value other than
SPI_OK_CONNECT since commit 1833f1a1c in v10; any errors are thrown
via ereport. (The most likely failure is out-of-memory, which has
always been thrown that way, so callers had better be prepared for
such errors.) This makes it somewhat pointless to check these
functions' result, and some callers within our code haven't been
bothering; indeed, the only usage example within spi.sgml doesn't
bother. So it's likely that the omission has propagated into
extensions too.
Hence, let's standardize on not checking, and document the return
value as historical, while not actually changing these functions'
behavior. (The original proposal was to change their return type
to "void", but that would needlessly break extensions that are
conforming to the old practice.) This saves a small amount of

If we recursed to a new call of the same function, with a different
coldeflist (AS clause), it would fail because the inner call would
overwrite the outer call's idea of what to return. This is vaguely
like 1d2fe56e4 and c5bec5426, but it's not due to any API decisions:
it's just that we computed the actual output rowtype at the start of
the call, and saved it in the per-procedure data structure. We can
fix it at basically zero cost by doing the computation at the end
of each call instead of the start.
It's not clear that there's any real-world use-case for such a
function, but given that it doesn't cost anything to fix,

If a plpython-language trigger caused another one to be invoked,
the "TD" dictionary created for the inner one would overwrite the
outer one's "TD" dictionary. This is more or less the same problem
that 1d2fe56e4 fixed for ordinary functions in plpython, so fix it
the same way, by saving and restoring "TD" during a recursive
invocation.
This fix makes an ABI-incompatible change in struct PLySavedArgs.
I'm not too worried about that because it seems highly unlikely that
any extension is messing with those structs. We could imagine doing
something weird to preserve nominal ABI compatibility in the back
branches, like keeping the saved TD object in an extra element of
namedargs[]. However, that would only be very nominal compatibility:
if anything *is* touching PLySavedArgs, it would likely do the wrong
thing due to not knowing about the additional value. So I judge it
not worth the ugliness to do something different there.

The "pltargs" variable wasn't marked volatile, which makes it unsafe
to change its value within the PG_TRY block. It looks like the worst

Still, it's a bug. A one-liner fix could be to mark pltargs volatile,

are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make
a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests
when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine
definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a
lot of output in a verbose build.
This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing
use warnings;
by
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
in all Perl files.
