* Reject trailing junk after numeric literalsPeter Eisentraut2022-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | After this, the PostgreSQL lexers no longer accept numeric literals with trailing non-digits, such as 123abc, which would be scanned as two tokens: 123 and abc. This is undocumented and surprising, and it might also interfere with some extended numeric literal syntax being contemplated for the future.

* Improve various places that double the size of a bufferDavid Rowley2021-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several places were performing a tight loop to determine the first power of 2 number that's > or >= the required memory. Instead of using a loop for that, we can use pg_nextpower2_32 or pg_nextpower2_64. When we need a power of 2 number equal to or greater than a given amount, we just pass the amount to the nextpower2 function. When we need a power of 2 greater than the amount, we just pass the amount + 1. Additionally, in tsearch there were a couple of locations that were performing a while loop when a simple "if" would have done. In both of these locations only 1 item is being added, so the loop could only have ever iterated once. Changing the loop into an if statement makes the code very slightly more optimal as the condition is checked once rather than twice. There are quite a few remaining locations that increase the size of the buffer in the following form: while (reqsize >= buflen) { buflen *= 2; buf = repalloc(buf, buflen); } These are not touched in this commit. repalloc will error out for sizes larger than MaxAllocSize. Changing these to use pg_nextpower2_32 would remove the chance of that error being raised. It's unclear from the code if the sizes could ever become that large, so err on the side of caution.

* Allow most keywords to be used as column labels without requiring AS.Tom Lane2020-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, if you tried to omit "AS" before a column label in a SELECT list, it would only work if the column label was an IDENT, that is not any known keyword. This is rather unfriendly considering that we have so many keywords and are constantly growing more. In the wake of commit 1ed6b8956 it's possible to improve matters quite a bit. We'd originally tried to make this work by having some of the existing keyword categories be allowed without AS, but that didn't work too well, because each category contains a few special cases that don't work without AS. Instead, invent an entirely orthogonal keyword property "can be bare column label", and mark all keywords that way for which we don't get shift/reduce errors by doing so. It turns out that of our 450 current keywords, all but 39 can be made bare column labels, improving the situation by over 90%. This number might move around a little depending on future grammar work, but it's a pretty nice improvement.

* Go back to returning int from ereport auxiliary functions.Tom Lane2020-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts the parts of commit 17a28b03645e27d73bf69a95d7569b61e58f06eb that changed ereport's auxiliary functions from returning dummy integer values to returning void. It turns out that a minority of compilers complain (not entirely unreasonably) about constructs such as (condition) ? errdetail(...) : 0 if errdetail() returns void rather than int. We could update those call sites to say "(void) 0" perhaps, but the expectation for this patch set was that ereport callers would not have to change anything. And this aspect of the patch set was already the most invasive and least compelling part of it, so let's just drop it. Per buildfarm.

* Improve the internal implementation of ereport().Tom Lane2020-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change all the auxiliary error-reporting routines to return void, now that we no longer need to pretend they are passing something useful to errfinish(). While this probably doesn't save anything significant at the machine-code level, it allows detection of some additional types of mistakes. Pass the error location details (__FILE__, __LINE__, PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO) to errfinish not errstart. This shaves a few cycles off the case where errstart decides we're not going to emit anything. Re-implement elog() as a trivial wrapper around ereport(), removing the separate support infrastructure it used to have. Aside from getting rid of some now-surplus code, this means that elog() now really does have exactly the same semantics as ereport(), in particular that it can skip evaluation work if the message is not to be emitted.

* Allow Unicode escapes in any server encoding, not only UTF-8.Tom Lane2020-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SQL includes provisions for numeric Unicode escapes in string literals and identifiers. Previously we only accepted those if they represented ASCII characters or the server encoding was UTF-8, making the conversion to internal form trivial. This patch adjusts things so that we'll call the appropriate encoding conversion function in less-trivial cases, allowing the escape sequence to be accepted so long as it corresponds to some character available in the server encoding. This also applies to processing of Unicode escapes in JSONB. However, the old restriction still applies to client-side JSON processing, since that hasn't got access to the server's encoding conversion infrastructure. This patch includes some lexer infrastructure that simplifies throwing errors with error cursors pointing into the middle of a string (or other complex token). For the moment I only used it for errors relating to Unicode escapes, but we might later expand the usage to some other cases. Patch by me, reviewed by John Naylor.

* Reduce size of backend scanner's tables.Tom Lane2020-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the core scanner's yy_transition[] array had 37045 elements. Since that number is larger than INT16_MAX, Flex generated the array to contain 32-bit integers. By reimplementing some of the bulkier scanner rules, this patch reduces the array to 20495 elements. The much smaller total length, combined with the consequent use of 16-bit integers for the array elements reduces the binary size by over 200kB. This was accomplished in two ways: 1. Consolidate handling of quote continuations into a new start condition, rather than duplicating that logic for five different string types. 2. Treat Unicode strings and identifiers followed by a UESCAPE sequence as three separate tokens, rather than one. The logic to de-escape Unicode strings is moved to the filter code in parser.c, which already had the ability to provide special processing for token sequences. While we could have implemented the conversion in the grammar, that approach was rejected for performance and maintainability reasons. Performance in microbenchmarks of raw parsing seems equal or slightly faster in most cases, and it's reasonable to expect that in real-world usage (with more competition for the CPU cache) there will be a larger win. The exception is UESCAPE sequences; lexing those is about 10% slower, primarily because the scanner now has to be called three times rather than one. This seems acceptable since that feature is very rarely used. The psql and epcg lexers are likewise modified, primarily because we want to keep them all in sync. Since those lexers don't use the space-hogging -CF option, the space savings is much less, but it's still good for perhaps 10kB apiece. While at it, merge the ecpg lexer's handling of C-style comments used in SQL and in C. Those have different rules regarding nested comments, but since we already have the ability to keep track of the previous start condition, we can use that to handle both cases within a single start condition. This matches the core scanner more closely. John Naylor Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACPNZCvaoa3EgVWm5yZhcSTX6RAtaLgniCPcBVOCwm8h3xpWkw@mail.gmail.com

* Replace the data structure used for keyword lookup.Tom Lane2019-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, ScanKeywordLookup was passed an array of string pointers. This had some performance deficiencies: the strings themselves might be scattered all over the place depending on the compiler (and some quick checking shows that at least with gcc-on-Linux, they indeed weren't reliably close together). That led to very cache-unfriendly behavior as the binary search touched strings in many different pages. Also, depending on the platform, the string pointers might need to be adjusted at program start, so that they couldn't be simple constant data. And the ScanKeyword struct had been designed with an eye to 32-bit machines originally; on 64-bit it requires 16 bytes per keyword, making it even more cache-unfriendly. Redesign so that the keyword strings themselves are allocated consecutively (as part of one big char-string constant), thereby eliminating the touch-lots-of-unrelated-pages syndrome. And get rid of the ScanKeyword array in favor of three separate arrays: uint16 offsets into the keyword array, uint16 token codes, and uint8 keyword categories. That reduces the overhead per keyword to 5 bytes instead of 16 (even less in programs that only need one of the token codes and categories); moreover, the binary search only touches the offsets array, further reducing its cache footprint. This also lets us put the token codes somewhere else than the keyword strings are, which avoids some unpleasant build dependencies. While we're at it, wrap the data used by ScanKeywordLookup into a struct that can be treated as an opaque type by most callers. That doesn't change things much right now, but it will make it less painful to switch to a hash-based lookup method, as is being discussed in the mailing list thread. Most of the change here is associated with adding a generator script that can build the new data structure from the same list-of-PG_KEYWORD header representation we used before. The PG_KEYWORD lists that plpgsql and ecpg used to embed in their scanner .c files have to be moved into headers, and the Makefiles have to be taught to invoke the generator script. This work is also necessary if we're to consider hash-based lookup, since the generator script is what would be responsible for constructing a hash table. Aside from saving a few kilobytes in each program that includes the keyword table, this seems to speed up raw parsing (flex+bison) by a few percent. So it's worth doing even as it stands, though we think we can gain even more with a follow-on patch to switch to hash-based lookup.

* Fix realfailN lexer rules to not make assumptions about input format.Tom Lane2018-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The realfail1 and realfail2 backup-prevention rules always returned token type FCONST, ignoring the possibility that what we've scanned is more appropriately described as ICONST. I think that at the time that code was added, it might actually have been safe to not distinguish; but since we started allowing AS-less aliases in SELECT target lists, it's definitely legal to have a number immediately followed by an identifier. In the SELECT case, it seems there's no visible consequence because make_const() will change the type back to integer anyway. But I'm worried that there are other contexts, or will be in future, where it's more important to get the constant's type right. Hence, use process_integer_literal to correctly determine which token type to return. Arguably this is a bug fix, but given the lack of evidence of user-visible problems, I'll refrain from back-patching. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/21364.1542136808@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Align ECPG lexer more closely with the core and psql lexers.Tom Lane2018-11-13

* Fix lexing of standard multi-character operators in edge cases.Andrew Gierth2018-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits c6b3c939b (which fixed the precedence of >=, <=, <> operators) and 865f14a2d (which added support for the standard => notation for named arguments) created a class of lexer tokens which look like multi-character operators but which have their own token IDs distinct from Op. However, longest-match rules meant that following any of these tokens with another operator character, as in (1<>-1), would cause them to be incorrectly returned as Op. The error here isn't immediately obvious, because the parser would usually still find the correct operator via the Op token, but there were more subtle problems: 1. If immediately followed by a comment or +-, >= <= <> would be given the old precedence of Op rather than the correct new precedence; 2. If followed by a comment, != would be returned as Op rather than as NOT_EQUAL, causing it not to be found at all; 3. If followed by a comment or +-, the => token for named arguments would be lexed as Op, causing the argument to be mis-parsed as a simple expression, usually causing an error. Fix by explicitly checking for the operators in the {operator} code block in addition to all the existing special cases there. Backpatch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

* Reduce an unnecessary O(N^3) loop in lexer.Andrew Gierth2018-08-23

| | | | | | | | | | | This completes (at least for now) the project of getting rid of ad-hoc linkages among the src/bin/ subdirectories. Everything they share is now in src/fe_utils/ and is included from a static library at link time. A side benefit is that we can restore the FLEX_NO_BACKUP check for psqlscanslash.l.

We can narrow the scope of the -Wno-error flag that's forced on scan.c. Also, since these grammar and lexer files are so large, splitting them into separate build targets should have some advantages in build speed, particularly in parallel or ccache'd builds. We have quite a few other .l files that could be changed likewise, but the above arguments don't apply to them, so the benefit of fixing them seems pretty minimal. Leave the rest for some other day.

* Make operator precedence follow the SQL standard more closely.Tom Lane2015-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the SQL standard is pretty vague on the overall topic of operator precedence (because it never presents a unified BNF for all expressions), it does seem reasonable to conclude from the spec for <boolean value expression> that OR has the lowest precedence, then AND, then NOT, then IS tests, then the six standard comparison operators, then everything else (since any non-boolean operator in a WHERE clause would need to be an argument of one of these). We were only sort of on board with that: most notably, while "<" ">" and "=" had properly low precedence, "<=" ">=" and "<>" were treated as generic operators and so had significantly higher precedence. And "IS" tests were even higher precedence than those, which is very clearly wrong per spec. Another problem was that "foo NOT SOMETHING bar" constructs, such as "x NOT LIKE y", were treated inconsistently because of a bison implementation artifact: they had the documented precedence with respect to operators to their right, but behaved like NOT (i.e., very low priority) with respect to operators to their left. Fixing the precedence issues is just a small matter of rearranging the precedence declarations in gram.y, except for the NOT problem, which requires adding an additional lookahead case in base_yylex() so that we can attach a different token precedence to NOT LIKE and allied two-word operators. The bulk of this patch is not the bug fix per se, but adding logic to parse_expr.c to allow giving warnings if an expression has changed meaning because of these precedence changes. These warnings are off by default and are enabled by the new GUC operator_precedence_warning. It's believed that very few applications will be affected by these changes, but it was agreed that a warning mechanism is essential to help debug any that are.
* Allow named parameters to be specified using => in addition to :=Robert Haas2015-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SQL has standardized on => as the use of to specify named parameters, and we've wanted for many years to support the same syntax ourselves, but this has been complicated by the possible use of => as an operator name. In PostgreSQL 9.0, we began emitting a warning when an operator named => was defined, and in PostgreSQL 9.2, we stopped shipping a =>(text, text) operator as part of hstore. By the time the next major version of PostgreSQL is released, => will have been deprecated for a full five years, so hopefully there won't be too many people still relying on it. We continue to support := for compatibility with previous PostgreSQL releases. Pavel Stehule, reviewed by Petr Jelinek, with a few documentation tweaks by me.
* Prevent duplicate escape-string warnings when using pg_stat_statements.Tom Lane2015-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | contrib/pg_stat_statements will sometimes run the core lexer a second time on submitted statements. Formerly, if you had standard_conforming_strings turned off, this led to sometimes getting two copies of any warnings enabled by escape_string_warning. While this is probably no longer a big deal in the field, it's a pain for regression testing. To fix, change the lexer so it doesn't consult the escape_string_warning GUC variable directly, but looks at a copy in the core_yy_extra_type state struct. Then, pg_stat_statements can change that copy to disable warnings while it's redoing the lexing. It seemed like a good idea to make this happen for all three of the GUCs consulted by the lexer, not just escape_string_warning. There's not an immediate use-case for callers to adjust the other two AFAIK, but making it possible is easy enough and seems like good future-proofing. Arguably this is a bug fix, but there doesn't seem to be enough interest to justify a back-patch. We'd not be able to back-patch exactly as-is anyway, for fear of breaking ABI compatibility of the struct. (We could perhaps back-patch the addition of only escape_string_warning by adding it at the end of the struct, where there's currently alignment padding space.)

* Improve handling of ereport(ERROR) and elog(ERROR).Tom Lane2013-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 71450d7fd6c7cf7b3e38ac56e363bff6a681973c, we added code to inform suitably-intelligent compilers that ereport() doesn't return if the elevel is ERROR or higher. This patch extends that to elog(), and also fixes a double-evaluation hazard that the previous commit created in ereport(), as well as reducing the emitted code size. The elog() improvement requires the compiler to support __VA_ARGS__, which should be available in just about anything nowadays since it's required by C99. But our minimum language baseline is still C89, so add a configure test for that. The previous commit assumed that ereport's elevel could be evaluated twice, which isn't terribly safe --- there are already counterexamples in xlog.c. On compilers that have __builtin_constant_p, we can use that to protect the second test, since there's no possible optimization gain if the compiler doesn't know the value of elevel. Otherwise, use a local variable inside the macros to prevent double evaluation. The local-variable solution is inferior because (a) it leads to useless code being emitted when elevel isn't constant, and (b) it increases the optimization level needed for the compiler to recognize that subsequent code is unreachable. But it seems better than not teaching non-gcc compilers about unreachability at all. Lastly, if the compiler has __builtin_unreachable(), we can use that instead of abort(), resulting in a noticeable code savings since no function call is actually emitted. However, it seems wise to do this only in non-assert builds. In an assert build, continue to use abort(), so that the behavior will be predictable and debuggable if the "impossible" happens. These changes involve making the ereport and elog macros emit do-while statement blocks not just expressions, which forces small changes in a few call sites.

In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend. It would be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now. I didn't attempt that at the moment.

In addition the handling of keywords is significantly better-structured, allowing us to de-reserve a number of words that plpgsql formerly treated as reserved.
* Re-refactor the core scanner's API, in order to get out from under the problemTom Lane2009-11-09

I defined a new union core_YYSTYPE that is just the (very short) list of semantic values returned by the core scanner. I had originally worried that this would require an extra interface layer, but actually we can have parser.c's base_yylex (formerly filtered_base_yylex) take care of that at no extra cost. Names associated with the core scanner are now "core_yy_foo", with "base_yy_foo" being used in the core Bison parser and the parser.c interface layer. This solves the last serious stumbling block to eliminating plpgsql's separate lexer. One restriction that will still be present is that plpgsql and the core will have to agree on the token numbers assigned to tokens that can be returned by the core lexer. Since Bison doesn't seem willing to accept external assignments of those numbers, we'll have to live with decreeing that core and plpgsql grammars declare these tokens first and in the same order.
