Apparently, there are bugs in this code that cause it to loop endlessly.
That bug still needs more research, but in the meantime it's clear that
the loop is missing a check for interrupts so that it can be cancelled
timely.
Backpatch to 9.1 -- this has been missing since 49475aab8d.
The distance function can now set *recheck = false, like index quals. The
executor will then re-check the ORDER BY expressions, and use a queue to
reorder the results on the fly.
This makes it possible to do kNN-searches on polygons and circles, which
don't store the exact value in the index, but just a bounding box.
Alexander Korotkov and me
This commit adds the following functions:
box(point) -> box
bound_box(box, box) -> box
inet_same_family(inet, inet) -> bool
inet_merge(inet, inet) -> cidr
range_merge(anyrange, anyrange) -> anyrange
The first of these is also used to implement a new assignment cast from
point to box.
These functions are the first part of a base to implement an "inclusion"
operator class for BRIN, for multidimensional data types.

Replace some bogus "x[1]" declarations with "x[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER]".
Aside from being more self-documenting, this should help prevent bogus
warnings from static code analyzers and perhaps compiler misoptimizations.
This patch is just a down payment on eliminating the whole problem, but
it gets rid of a lot of easy-to-fix cases.
Note that the main problem with doing this is that one must no longer rely
on computing sizeof(the containing struct), since the result would be
compiler-dependent. Instead use offsetof(struct, lastfield). Autoconf
also warns against spelling that offsetof(struct, lastfield[0]).
Michael Paquier, review and additional fixes by me.
This field has been unreferenced since 1998, and does not appear in lseg
values stored on disk (since sizeof(lseg) is only 32 bytes according to
pg_type). There was apparently some idea of maintaining it just in values
appearing in memory, but the bookkeeping required to make that work would
surely far outweigh the cost of recalculating the line's slope when needed.
Remove it to (a) simplify matters and (b) suppress some uninitialized-field
whining from Coverity.
LINE doesn't have an "m" field (anymore anyway). Also fix unportable
assumption that %x can print the result of pointer subtraction.
In passing, improve single_decode() in minor ways:
* Remove unnecessary leading-whitespace skip (strtod does that already).
* Make GEODEBUG message more intelligible.
* Remove entirely-useless test to see if strtod returned a silly pointer.
* Don't bother computing trailing-whitespace skip unless caller wants
an ending pointer.
This has been broken since 261c7d4b65.
Although it's only debug code, might as well fix the 9.4 branch too.
Several functions, mostly type input functions, calculated an allocation
size such that the calculation wrapped to a small positive value when
arguments implied a sufficiently-large requirement. Writes past the end
of the inadvertent small allocation followed shortly thereafter.
Coverity identified the path_in() vulnerability; code inspection led to
the rest. In passing, add check_stack_depth() to prevent stack overflow
in related functions.
Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). The non-comment hstore
changes touch code that did not exist in 8.4, so that part stops at 9.0.

Security: CVE-2014-0064
It's not entirely clear why some PPC machines are generating -0 here, since
the underlying computation should be exactly 0 - 0. Perhaps there's some
wider-than-nominal-precision calculations happening? Anyway, the best way
to avoid platform-dependent results seems to be to explicitly reset -0 to
regular zero.
Change the input/output format to {A,B,C}, to match the internal
representation.
Complete the implementations of line_in, line_out, line_recv, line_send.
Remove comments and error messages about the line type not being
implemented. Add regression tests for existing line operators and
functions.

path_encode's "closed" argument used to take three values: TRUE, FALSE,
or -1, while being of type bool. Replace that with a three-valued enum
for more clarity.
Given the assumption that a box's high coordinates are not less than its
low coordinates, the tests in box_ov() are overly complicated and can be
reduced to about half as much work. Since many other functions in
geo_ops.c rely on that assumption, there doesn't seem to be a good reason
not to use it here.
Per discussion of Alexander Korotkov's GiST fix, which was already using
the simplified logic (in a non-fuzzy form, but the equivalence holds just
as well for fuzzy).
Per recent discussion, it's important for all computed datums (not only the
results of input functions) to not contain any ill-defined (uninitialized)
bits. Failing to ensure that can result in equal() reporting that
semantically indistinguishable Consts are not equal, which in turn leads to
bizarre and undesirable planner behavior, such as in a recent example from
David Johnston. We might eventually try to fix this in a general manner by
allowing datatypes to define identity-testing functions, but for now the
path of least resistance is to expect datatypes to force all unused bits
into consistent states.
Per some testing by Noah Misch, array and path functions seem to be the
only ones presenting risks at the moment, so I looked through all the
functions in adt/array*.c and geo_ops.c and fixed them as necessary. In
the array functions, the easiest/safest fix is to allocate result arrays
with palloc0 instead of palloc. Possibly in future someone will want to
look into whether we can just zero the padding bytes, but that looks too
complex for a back-patchable fix. In the path functions, we already had a
precedent in path_in for just zeroing the one known pad field, so duplicate
that code as needed.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
This code was just plain wrong: what you got was not a line through the
given point but a line almost indistinguishable from the Y-axis, although
not truly vertical. The only caller that tries to use this function with
m == DBL_MAX is dist_ps_internal for the case where the lseg is horizontal;
it would end up producing the distance from the given point to the place
where the lseg's line crosses the Y-axis. That function is used by other
operators too, so there are several operators that could compute wrong
distances from a line segment to something else. Per bug #5745 from
jindiax.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
use that value when the backend is new enough to allow it. This responds
to bug report from Keh-Cheng Chu pointing out that although 2 extra digits
should be sufficient to dump and restore float8 exactly, it is possible to
need 3 extra digits for float4 values.
a number of other geometric operators also depend on. It miscalculated the
slope of the perpendicular to the given line segment anytime that slope was
other than 0, infinite, or +/-1. In some cases the error would be masked
because the true closest point on the line segment was one of its endpoints
rather than the intersection point, but in other cases it could give an
arbitrarily bad answer. Per bug #4872 from Nick Roosevelt.
Bug goes clear back to Berkeley days, so patch all supported branches.
Make a couple of cosmetic adjustments while at it.
results to contain uninitialized, unpredictable values. While this was okay
as far as the datatypes themselves were concerned, it's a problem for the
parser because occurrences of the "same" literal might not be recognized as
equal by datumIsEqual (and hence not by equal()). It seems sufficient to fix
this in the input functions since the only critical use of equal() is in the
parser's comparisons of ORDER BY and DISTINCT expressions.
Per a trouble report from Marc Cousin.
Patch all the way back. Interestingly, array_in did not have the bug before
8.2, which may explain why the issue went unnoticed for so long.
The zero-point case is sensible so far as the data structure is concerned,
so maybe we ought to allow it sometime; but right now the textual input
routines for these types don't allow it, and it seems that not all the
functions for the types are prepared to cope.

Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

I took the opportunity to add an rtree-equivalent gist opclass for
circles; the contrib version only covered boxes and polygons, but
indexing circles is very handy for distance searches.
to the existing X-direction tests. An rtree class now includes 4 actual
2-D tests, 4 1-D X-direction tests, and 4 1-D Y-direction tests.
This involved adding four new Y-direction test operators for each of
box and polygon; I followed the PostGIS project's lead as to the names
of these operators.
NON BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE CHANGE: the poly_overleft (&<) and poly_overright
(&>) operators now have semantics comparable to box_overleft and box_overright.
This is necessary to make r-tree indexes work correctly on polygons.
Also, I changed circle_left and circle_right to agree with box_left and
box_right --- formerly they allowed the boundaries to touch. This isn't
actually essential given the lack of any r-tree opclass for circles, but
it seems best to sync all the definitions while we are at it.
