2020-02-10Simplify passing of configure arguments to pg_configPeter Eisentraut
The previous system had configure put the value into the makefiles and then have the makefiles pass them to the build of pg_config. That was put in place when pg_config was a shell script. We can simplify that by having configure put the value into pg_config.h directly. This also makes the standard build system match how the MSVC build system already does it.

2020-01-23Add configure probe for rl_completion_suppress_quote.Tom Lane
I had supposed that all versions of Readline that have filename quoting hooks also have the rl_completion_suppress_quote variable. But it seems OpenBSD managed to find a version someplace that does not, so we'll have to expend a separate configure probe for that. (Light testing suggests that this version also lacks the bugs that make it necessary to frob that variable. Hooray!) Per buildfarm.
2020-01-23Improve psql's tab completion for filenames.Tom Lane
The Readline library contains a fair amount of knowledge about how to tab-complete filenames, but it turns out that that doesn't work too well unless we follow its expectation that we use its filename quoting hooks to quote and de-quote filenames. We were trying to do such quote handling within complete_from_files(), and that's still what we have to do if we're using libedit, which lacks those hooks. But for Readline, it works a lot better if we tell Readline that single-quote is a quoting character and then provide hooks that know the details of the quoting rules for SQL and psql meta-commands. Hence, resurrect the quoting hook functions that existed in the original version of tab-complete.c (and were disabled by commit f6689a328 because they "didn't work so well yet"), and whack on them until they do seem to work well. Notably, this fixes bug #16059 from Steven Winfield, who pointed out that the previous coding would strip quote marks from filenames in SQL COPY commands, even though they're syntactically necessary there. Now, we not only don't do that, but we'll add a quote mark when you tab-complete, even if you didn't type one. Getting this to work across a range of libedit versions (and, to a lesser extent, libreadline versions) was depressingly difficult. It will be interesting to see whether the new regression test cases pass everywhere in the buildfarm. Some future patch might try to handle quoted SQL identifiers with similar explicit quoting/dequoting logic, but that's for another day. Patch by me, reviewed by Peter Eisentraut.

2020-01-08Remove support for Python older than 2.6Peter Eisentraut
Supporting very old Python versions is a maintenance burden, especially with the several variant test files to maintain for Python <2.6. Since we have dropped support for older OpenSSL versions in 7b283d0e1d1d79bf1c962d790c94d2a53f3bb38a, RHEL 5 is now effectively desupported, and that was also the only mainstream operating system still using Python versions before 2.6, so it's a good time to drop those as well.

2020-01-02Add basic TAP tests for psql's tab-completion logic.Tom Lane
Up to now, psql's tab-complete.c has had exactly no regression test coverage. This patch is an experimental attempt to add some. This needs Perl's IO::Pty module, which isn't installed everywhere, so the test script just skips all tests if that's not present. There may be other portability gotchas too, so I await buildfarm results with interest. So far this just covers a few very basic keyword-completion and query-driven-completion scenarios, which should be enough to let us get a feel for whether this is practical at all from a portability standpoint. If it is, there's lots more that can be done. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/10967.1577562752@sss.pgh.pa.us

2019-12-16Sort out getpeereid() and peer auth handling on WindowsPeter Eisentraut
The getpeereid() uses have so far been protected by HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS, so they didn't ever care about Windows support. But in anticipation of Unix-domain socket support on Windows, that needs to be handled differently. Windows doesn't support getpeereid() at this time, so we use the existing not-supported code path. We let configure do its usual thing of picking up the replacement from libpgport, instead of the custom overrides that it was doing before. But then Windows doesn't have struct passwd, so this patch sprinkles some additional #ifdef WIN32 around to make it work. This is similar to existing code that deals with this issue.

2019-12-06Fix handling of OpenSSL's SSL_clear_optionsMichael Paquier
This function is supported down to OpenSSL 0.9.8, which is the oldest version supported since 593d4e4 (from Postgres 10 onwards), and is used since e3bdb2d (from 11 onwards). It is defined as a macro from OpenSSL 0.9.8 to 1.0.2, and as a function in 1.1.0 and newer versions. However, the configure check present is only adapted for functions. So, even if the code would be able to compile, configure fails to detect the macro, causing it to be ignored when compiling the code with OpenSSL from 0.9.8 to 1.0.2. The code needs a configure check as per a364dfa, which has fixed a compilation issue with a past version of LibreSSL in NetBSD 5.1. On HEAD, just remove the configure check as the last release of NetBSD 5 is from 2014 (and we have no more buildfarm members for it). In 11 and 12, improve the configure logic so as both macros and functions are correctly detected. This makes NetBSD 5 still work on already-released branches, but not for 13 onwards.

2019-11-12Fix ecpglib.h to declare bool consistently with c.h.Tom Lane
This completes the task begun in commit 1408d5d86, to synchronize ECPG's exported definitions with the definition of bool used by c.h (and, therefore, the one actually in use in the ECPG library). On practically all modern platforms, ecpglib.h will now just include <stdbool.h>, which should surprise nobody anymore. That removes a header-inclusion-order hazard for ECPG clients, who previously might get build failures or unexpected behavior depending on whether they'd included <stdbool.h> themselves, and if so, whether before or after ecpglib.h. On platforms where sizeof(_Bool) is not 1 (only old PPC-based Mac systems, as far as I know), things are still messy, as inclusion of <stdbool.h> could still break ECPG client code. There doesn't seem to be any clean fix for that, and given the probably-negligible population of users who would care anymore, it's not clear we should go far out of our way to cope with it. This change at least fixes some header-inclusion-order hazards for our own code, since c.h and ecpglib.h previously disagreed on whether bool should be char or unsigned char. To implement this with minimal invasion of ECPG client namespace, move the choice of whether to rely on <stdbool.h> into configure, and have it export a configuration symbol PG_USE_STDBOOL. ecpglib.h no longer exports definitions for TRUE and FALSE, only their lowercase brethren. We could undo that if we get push-back about it. Ideally we'd back-patch this as far as v11, which is where c.h started to rely on <stdbool.h>. But the odds of creating problems for formerly-working ECPG client code seem about as large as the odds of fixing any non-working cases, so we'll just do this in HEAD.

2019-10-21Use CFLAGS_SL while probing linkability of libperl.Tom Lane
On recent Red Hat platforms (at least RHEL 8 and Fedora 30, maybe older), configure's probe for libperl failed if the user forces CFLAGS to be -O0. This is because some code in perl's inline.h fails to be optimized away at -O0, and said code doesn't work if compiled without -fPIC. To fix, add CFLAGS_SL to the compile flags used during the libperl probe. This is a better simulation of the way that plperl is built, anyway, so it might forestall other issues in future. Per gripe from Kyotaro Horiguchi. Back-patch to all supported branches, since people might want to build older branches on these platforms.

2019-10-21Select CFLAGS_SL at configure time, not in platform-specific Makefiles.Tom Lane
Move the platform-dependent logic that sets CFLAGS_SL from src/makefiles/Makefile.foo to src/template/foo, so that the value is determined at configure time and thus is available while running configure's tests. On a couple of platforms this might save a few microseconds of build time by eliminating a test that make otherwise has to do over and over. Otherwise it's pretty much a wash for build purposes; in particular, this makes no difference to anyone who might be overriding CFLAGS_SL via a make option. This patch in itself does nothing with the value and thus should not change any behavior, though you'll probably have to re-run configure to get a correctly updated Makefile.global. We'll use the new configure variable in a follow-on patch. Per gripe from Kyotaro Horiguchi. Back-patch to all supported branches, because the follow-on patch is a portability bug fix.

2019-02-16Make use of compiler builtins and/or assembly for CLZ, CTZ, POPCNT.Tom Lane
Test for the compiler builtins __builtin_clz, __builtin_ctz, and __builtin_popcount, and make use of these in preference to handwritten C code if they're available. Create src/port infrastructure for "leftmost one", "rightmost one", and "popcount" so as to centralize these decisions. On x86_64, __builtin_popcount generally won't make use of the POPCNT opcode because that's not universally supported yet. Provide code that checks CPUID and then calls POPCNT via asm() if available. This requires indirecting through a function pointer, which is an annoying amount of overhead for a one-instruction operation, but it's probably not worth working harder than this for our current use-cases. I'm not sure we've found all the existing places that could profit from this new infrastructure; but we at least touched all the ones that used copied-and-pasted versions of the bitmapset.c code, and got rid of multiple copies of the associated constant arrays. While at it, replace c-compiler.m4's one-per-builtin-function macros with a single one that can handle all the cases we need to worry about so far. Also, because I'm paranoid, make those checks into AC_LINK checks rather than just AC_COMPILE; the former coding failed to verify that libgcc has support for the builtin, in cases where it's not inline code.

Split out the configure logic: in the original commit, it was selecting to use the -mpopcnt compiler switch together with deciding whether to use the compiler builtin, but those two things are really separate.

2019-02-13Fix portability issues in pg_bitutilsAlvaro Herrera

Fix by using the "ll" builtin variants instead, which on those machines take 64 bit arguments. Also, remove configure tests for __builtin_popcountl() (as well as "long" variants for ctz and clz): the theory here is that any compiler version will provide all widths or none, so one test suffices. Were this theory to be wrong, we'd have to add tests for __builtin_popcountll() and friends, which would be tedious. Per failures in buildfarm member lapwing and ensuing discussion.

2019-02-13Change floating-point output format for improved performance.Andrew Gierth
Previously, floating-point output was done by rounding to a specific decimal precision; by default, to 6 or 15 decimal digits (losing information) or as requested using extra_float_digits. Drivers that wanted exact float values, and applications like pg_dump that must preserve values exactly, set extra_float_digits=3 (or sometimes 2 for historical reasons, though this isn't enough for float4). Unfortunately, decimal rounded output is slow enough to become a noticable bottleneck when dealing with large result sets or COPY of large tables when many floating-point values are involved. Floating-point output can be done much faster when the output is not rounded to a specific decimal length, but rather is chosen as the shortest decimal representation that is closer to the original float value than to any other value representable in the same precision. The recently published Ryu algorithm by Ulf Adams is both relatively simple and remarkably fast. Accordingly, change float4out/float8out to output shortest decimal representations if extra_float_digits is greater than 0, and make that the new default. Applications that need rounded output can set extra_float_digits back to 0 or below, and take the resulting performance hit. We make one concession to portability for systems with buggy floating-point input: we do not output decimal values that fall exactly halfway between adjacent representable binary values (which would rely on the reader doing round-to-nearest-even correctly). This is known to be a problem at least for VS2013 on Windows. Our version of the Ryu code originates from https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu/ at commit c9c3fb1979, but with the following (significant) modifications: - Output format is changed to use fixed-point notation for small exponents, as printf would, and also to use lowercase 'e', a minimum of 2 exponent digits, and a mandatory sign on the exponent, to keep the formatting as close as possible to previous output. - The output of exact midpoint values is disabled as noted above. - The integer fast-path code is changed somewhat (since we have fixed-point output and the upstream did not). - Our project style has been largely applied to the code with the exception of C99 declaration-after-statement, which has been retained as an exception to our present policy. - Most of upstream's debugging and conditionals are removed, and we use our own configure tests to determine things like uint128 availability. Changing the float output format obviously affects a number of regression tests. This patch uses an explicit setting of extra_float_digits=0 for test output that is not expected to be exactly reproducible (e.g. due to numerical instability or differing algorithms for transcendental functions). Conversions from floats to numeric are unchanged by this patch. These may appear in index expressions and it is not yet clear whether any change should be made, so that can be left for another day. This patch assumes that the only supported floating point format is now IEEE format, and the documentation is updated to reflect that. Code by me, adapting the work of Ulf Adams and other contributors.

2019-02-13Use strtof() and not strtod() for float4 input.Andrew Gierth
Using strtod() creates a double-rounding problem; the input decimal value is first rounded to the nearest double; rounding that to the nearest float may then give an incorrect result. An example is that 7.038531e-26 when input via strtod and then rounded to float4 gives 0xAE43FEp-107 instead of the correct 0xAE43FDp-107. Values output by earlier PG versions with extra_float_digits=3 should all be read in with the same values as previously. However, values supplied by other software using shortest representations could be mis-read. On platforms that lack a strtof() entirely, we fall back to the old incorrect rounding behavior. (As strtof() is required by C99, such platforms are considered of primarily historical interest.) On VS2013, some workarounds are used to get correct error handling. The regression tests now test for the correct input values, so platforms that lack strtof() will need resultmap entries. An entry for HP-UX 10 is included (more may be needed).

While Windows (allegedly) has _configthreadlocale() pretty far back, it seems MinGW didn't acquire support for that till more recently. Fortunately, we can use an autoconf probe on that toolchain, instead of guessing whether it's there. (Hm, I wonder whether Cygwin will need this also.) Per buildfarm.

2019-01-21Avoid thread-safety problem in ecpglib.Tom Lane
ecpglib attempts to force the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while reading server output, to avoid problems with strtod() and related functions. Historically it's just issued setlocale() calls to do that, but that has major problems if we're in a threaded application. setlocale() itself is not required by POSIX to be thread-safe (and indeed is not, on recent OpenBSD). Moreover, its effects are process-wide, so that we could cause unexpected results in other threads, or another thread could change our setting. On platforms having uselocale(), which is required by POSIX:2008, we can avoid these problems by using uselocale() instead. Windows goes its own way as usual, but we can make it safe by using _configthreadlocale(). Platforms having neither continue to use the old code, but that should be pretty much nobody among current systems. This should get back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm thinks of it first.

2019-01-19Replace @postgresql.org with @lists.postgresql.org for mailinglistsMagnus Hagander
Commit c0d0e54084 replaced the ones in the documentation, but missed out on the ones in the code. Replace those as well, but unlike c0d0e54084, don't backpatch the code changes to avoid breaking translations.
2019-01-18Use our own getopt() on OpenBSD.Tom Lane
Recent OpenBSD (at least 5.9 and up) has a version of getopt(3) that will not cope with the "-:" spec we use to accept double-dash options in postgres.c and postmaster.c. Admittedly, that's a hack because POSIX only requires getopt() to allow alphanumeric option characters. I have no desire to find another way, however, so let's just do what we were already doing on Solaris: force use of our own src/port/getopt.c implementation. In passing, improve some of the comments around said implementation. Per buildfarm and local testing. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2019-01-18configure: More use of AC_ARG_VARPeter Eisentraut
AC_ARG_VAR is necessary if an environment variable influences a configure result that is then used by other tests that are cached. With AC_ARG_VAR, a change in the variable is detected on subsequent configure runs and the user is then advised to remove the cache. This adds AC_ARG_VAR calls for: MSGFMT, PERL, PYTHON, TCLSH, XML2_CONFIG Reviewed-by: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/30672.1546816567@sss.pgh.pa.us
2019-01-13configure: Update python search orderPeter Eisentraut
Some systems don't ship with "python" by default anymore, only "python3" or "python2" or some combination, so include those in the configure search. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/1457.1543184081%40sss.pgh.pa.us#c9cc1199338fd6a257589c6dcea6cf8d

2019-01-01Remove configure switch --disable-strong-randomMichael Paquier
This removes a portion of infrastructure introduced by fe0a0b5 to allow compilation of Postgres in environments where no strong random source is available, meaning that there is no linking to OpenSSL and no /dev/urandom (Windows having its own CryptoAPI). No systems shipped this century lack /dev/urandom, and the buildfarm is actually not testing this switch at all, so just remove it. This simplifies particularly some backend code which included a fallback implementation using shared memory, and removes a set of alternate regression output files from pgcrypto.
