Commit 9662143f0c35d64d7042fbeaf879df8f0b54be32 added infrastructure to allow regular-expression operations to be terminated early in the event of SIGINT etc. However, fuzz testing by Greg Stark disclosed that there are still cases where regex compilation could run for a long time without noticing a cancel request. Specifically, the fixempties() phase never adds new states, only new arcs, so it doesn't hit the cancel check I'd put in newstate(). Add one to newarc() as well to cover that. Some experimentation of my own found that regex execution could also run for a long time despite a pending cancel. We'd put a high-level cancel check into cdissect(), but there was none inside the core text-matching routines longest() and shortest(). Ordinarily those inner loops are very very fast ... but in the presence of lookahead constraints, not so much. As a compromise, stick a cancel check into the stateset cache-miss function, which is enough to guarantee a cancel check at least once per lookahead constraint test. Making this work required more attention to error handling throughout the regex executor. Henry Spencer had apparently originally intended longest() and shortest() to be incapable of incurring errors while running, so neither they nor their subroutines had well-defined error reporting behaviors. However, that was already broken by the lookahead constraint feature, since lacon() can surely suffer an out-of-memory failure --- which, in the code as it stood, might never be reported to the user at all, but just silently be treated as a non-match of the lookahead constraint. Normalize all that by inserting explicit error tests as needed. I took the opportunity to add some more comments to the code, too. Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous patch.
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
