2017-06-21Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-02-25Remove useless duplicate inclusions of system header files.Tom Lane
c.h #includes a number of core libc header files, such as <stdio.h>. There's no point in re-including these after having read postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h; so remove code that did so. While at it, also fix some places that were ignoring our standard pattern of "include postgres[_fe].h, then system header files, then other Postgres header files". While there's not any great magic in doing it that way rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this globally, only in files I was touching anyway.) I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism, but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.

2015-01-11Fix libpq's behavior when /etc/passwd isn't readable.Tom Lane
Some users run their applications in chroot environments that lack an /etc/passwd file. This means that the current UID's user name and home directory are not obtainable. libpq used to be all right with that, so long as the database role name to use was specified explicitly. But commit a4c8f14364c27508233f8a31ac4b10a4c90235a9 broke such cases by causing any failure of pg_fe_getauthname() to be treated as a hard error. In any case it did little to advance its nominal goal of causing errors in pg_fe_getauthname() to be reported better. So revert that and instead put some real error-reporting code in place. This requires changes to the APIs of pg_fe_getauthname() and pqGetpwuid(), since the latter had departed from the POSIX-specified API of getpwuid_r() in a way that made it impossible to distinguish actual lookup errors from "no such user". To allow such failures to be reported, while not failing if the caller supplies a role name, add a second call of pg_fe_getauthname() in connectOptions2(). This is a tad ugly, and could perhaps be avoided with some refactoring of PQsetdbLogin(), but I'll leave that idea for later. (Note that the complained-of misbehavior only occurs in PQsetdbLogin, not when using the PQconnect functions, because in the latter we will never bother to call pg_fe_getauthname() if the user gives a role name.) In passing also clean up the Windows-side usage of GetUserName(): the recommended buffer size is 257 bytes, the passed buffer length should be the buffer size not buffer size less 1, and any error is reported by GetLastError() not errno. Per report from Christoph Berg. Back-patch to 9.4 where the chroot failure case was introduced. The generally poor reporting of errors here is of very long standing, of course, but given the lack of field complaints about it we won't risk changing these APIs further back (even though they're theoretically internal to libpq).

2014-03-28Un-break peer authentication.Tom Lane
Commit 613c6d26bd42dd8c2dd0664315be9551475b8864 sloppily replaced a lookup of the UID obtained from getpeereid() with a lookup of the server's own user name, thus totally destroying peer authentication. Revert. Per report from Christoph Berg. In passing, make sure get_user_name() zeroes *errstr on success on Windows as well as non-Windows. I don't think any callers actually depend on this ATM, but we should be consistent across platforms.
2014-01-30Fix unsafe references to errno within error messaging logic.Tom Lane
Various places were supposing that errno could be expected to hold still within an ereport() nest or similar contexts. This isn't true necessarily, though in some cases it accidentally failed to fail depending on how the compiler chanced to order the subexpressions. This class of thinko explains recent reports of odd failures on clang-built versions, typically missing or inappropriate HINT fields in messages. Problem identified by Christian Kruse, who also submitted the patch this commit is based on. (I fixed a few issues in his patch and found a couple of additional places with the same disease.) Back-patch as appropriate to all supported branches.
