Back-patch to v11, where commit 90627cf98a
made the GNU make build system do likewise. Without this, when a
typical PostgresNode-using test failed, subsequent runs bailed out with
a "File exists" error.
This complies with the perlcritic policy
Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn, which is a severity 4 policy. Since we
only currently check at severity level 5, the policy is raised to that
level until we move to level 4 or lower, so that any new infringements
will be caught.
A small cosmetic piece of tidying of the pgperlcritic script is
included.

This should have been done some years ago as promised in commit
c4dcdd0c2. However, better late than never.
Along the way do a little housekeeping, including using a simpler test
for the python version being tested, and removing a redundant subroutine
parameter. These changes only apply back to release 9.5.
Backpatch to all live releases.
The plpgsql.sql test file in the main regression tests is now by far the
largest after numeric_big, making editing and managing the test cases
very cumbersome. The other PLs have their own test suites split up into
smaller files by topic. It would be nice to have that for plpgsql as
well. So, to get that started, set up test infrastructure in
src/pl/plpgsql/src/ and split out the recently added procedure test
cases into a new file there. That file now mirrors the test cases added
to the other PLs, making managing those matching tests a bit easier too.
msvc build system changes with help from Michael Paquier
It's become apparent during testing that there are problems with at
least the testing regime. I don't think we should have it without a
working test regime, and the difficulties might indicate implementation
problems anyway, so I'm backing out the whole thing until that's sorted
out.
This reverts commits 74594849989f92cd8ce3a
The module requires a preloaded library and the defect can't be cured by
a LOAD instruction in the test script. To achieve this we override the
installcheck target in the module's Makefile, and exclude ithe module in
vcregress.pl.
Along the way, revert commit 9989f92aab.
We have a very old rule that parallel_schedule should have no more
than twenty tests in any one parallel group, so as to provide a
bound on the number of concurrently running processes needed to
pass the tests. But people keep forgetting the rule, so let's add
a few lines of code to check it.

On MSVC builds and on back branches that means removing the hardcoded
--verbose setting. On master for Unix that means removing the empty
setting in the global Makefile so that the value can be acquired from
the environment as well as from the make arguments.
Backpatch to 9.4 where we introduced TAP tests
Currently only provision for running the bin checks in a single step is
provided for. Now these tests can be run individually, as well as tests
in other locations (e.g. src.test/recover).
Also provide for suppressing unnecessary temp installs by setting the
NO_TEMP_INSTALL environment variable just as the Makefiles do.
Backpatch to 9.4.
The previous change wanted to avoid modifying $_ in grep, but the code
just made the change in a local variable and then lost it. Rewrite the
code using a separate map and grep, which is clearer anyway.

The different actions in pg_ctl had different defaults for -w and -W,
mostly for historical reasons. Most users will want the -w behavior, so
make that the default.
Remove the -w option in most example and test code, so avoid confusion
and reduce verbosity. pg_upgrade is not touched, so it can continue to
work with older installations.

Due to simplistic quoting and confusion of database names with conninfo
strings, roles with the CREATEDB or CREATEROLE option could escalate to
superuser privileges when a superuser next ran certain maintenance
commands. The new coding rule for PQconnectdbParams() calls, documented
at conninfo_array_parse(), is to pass expand_dbname=true and wrap

zero-length values in appendConnStrVal(). Back-patch to 9.1 (all

Security: CVE-2016-5424
To ensure that "make installcheck" can be used safely against an existing
installation, we need to be careful about what global object names
(database, role, and tablespace names) we use; otherwise we might
accidentally clobber important objects. There's been a weak consensus that
test databases should have names including "regression", and that test role
names should start with "regress_", but we didn't have any particular rule
about tablespace names; and neither of the other rules was followed with
any consistency either.
This commit moves us a long way towards having a hard-and-fast rule that
regression test databases must have names including "regression", and that
test role and tablespace names must start with "regress_". It's not
completely there because I did not touch some test cases in rolenames.sql
that test creation of special role names like "session_user". That will
require some rethinking of exactly what we want to test, whereas the intent
of this patch is just to hit all the cases in which the needed renamings
are cosmetic.
There is no enforcement mechanism in this patch either, but if we don't
add one we can expect that the tests will soon be violating the convention
again. Again, that's not such a cosmetic change and it will require
discussion. (But I did use a quick-hack enforcement patch to find these
cases.)

Change assorted places in our Perl code that did things like
system("prog $path/file");
to do it more like
system('prog', "$path/file");
which is safe against spaces and other special characters in the path
variable. The latter was already the prevailing style, but a few bits
of code hadn't gotten this memo. Back-patch to 9.4 as relevant.

The target is now named 'bincheck' rather than 'tapcheck' so that it
reflects what is checked instead of the test mechanism. Some of the
logic is improved, making it easier to add further sets of TAP based
tests in future. Also, the environment setting logic is imrpoved.
As discussed on -hackers a couple of months ago.
The reverted changes did not narrow the semantic gap between the MSVC
build system and the GNU make build system. For targets old and new
that run multiple suites (contribcheck, modulescheck, tapcheck), restore
vcregress.pl to mimicking "make -k" rather than the "make -S" default.
Lack of "-k" would be more burdensome than lack of "-S". Keep changes
reflecting contemporary changes to the GNU make build system, and keep
updates to Makefile parsing. Keep the loss of --psqldir in "check" and
"ecpgcheck" targets; it had been a no-op when used alongside
--temp-install. No log message mentioned any of the reverted changes.
Based on a germ by Michael Paquier. Back-patch to 9.5.
On Windows, use listen_address=127.0.0.1 to allow TCP connections. We were
already using "pg_regress --config-auth" to set up HBA appropriately. The
standard_initdb helper function now sets up the server's
unix_socket_directories or listen_addresses in the config file, so that
they don't need to be specified in the pg_ctl command line anymore. That
way, the pg_ctl invocations in test programs don't need to differ between
Windows and Unix.
Add another helper function to configure the server's pg_hba.conf to allow
replication connections. The configuration is done similarly to "pg_regress
--config-auth": trust on domain sockets on Unix, and SSPI authentication on
Windows.
Replace calls to "cat" and "touch" programs with built-in perl code, as
those programs don't normally exist on Windows.
Add instructions in the docs on how to install IPC::Run on Windows. Adjust
vcregress.pl to not replace PERL5LIB completely in vcregress.pl, because
otherwise cannot install IPC::Run in a non-standard location easily.

Currently regression tests for python 3 are disabled on MSVC, and these
tests fail with python 3, too, so we have some work to do to enable
both. Meanwhile, all the buildfarm hosts seem to be building with python
2 anyway, so this at least gets us some coverage.
Original patch from Michael Paquier, significantly modified by me.
With this patch the MSVC build and installation will work correctly with
the transforms. However the python transform tests for hstore and ltree
are still disabled pending some further adjustments.
Michael Paquier with some tweaks from me.
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.

future-proofing in the context of the master branch, but commit
f6dc6dd5ba requires it of older branches.
Use SSPI authentication to allow connections exclusively from the OS
user that launched the test suite. This closes on Windows the
vulnerability that commit be76a6d39e
closed on other platforms. Users of "make installcheck" or custom test
harnesses can run "pg_regress --config-auth=DATADIR" to activate the
same authentication configuration that "make check" would use.
