Previously, a PostgreSQL-specific callback checked by the regex engine had a way to trigger a special error code REG_CANCEL if it detected that the next call to CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would certainly throw via ereport(). A later proposed bugfix aims to move some complex logic out of signal handlers, so that it won't run until the next CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(), which makes the above design impossible unless we split CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() into two phases, one to run logic and another to ereport(). We may develop such a system in the future, but for the regex code it is no longer necessary. An earlier commit moved regex memory management over to our MemoryContext system. Given that the purpose of the two-phase interrupt checking was to free memory before throwing, something we don't need to worry about anymore, it seems simpler to inject CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() directly into cancelation points, and just let it throw. Since the plan is to keep PostgreSQL-specific concerns separate from the main regex engine code (with a view to bein able to stay in sync with other projects), do this with a new macro INTERRUPT(), customizable in regcustom.h and defaulting to nothing.

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: https://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 https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
