* Redesign interrupt/cancel API for regex engine.Thomas Munro2023-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Allow complemented character class escapes within regex brackets.Tom Lane2021-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The complement-class escapes \D, \S, \W are now allowed within bracket expressions. There is no semantic difficulty with doing that, but the rather hokey macro-expansion-based implementation previously used here couldn't cope. Also, invent "word" as an allowed character class name, thus "\w" is now equivalent to "[[:word:]]" outside brackets, or "[:word:]" within brackets. POSIX allows such implementation-specific extensions, and the same name is used in e.g. bash. One surprising compatibility issue this raises is that constructs such as "[\w-_]" are now disallowed, as our documentation has always said they should be: character classes can't be endpoints of a range. Previously, because \w was just a macro for "[:alnum:]_", such a construct was read as "[[:alnum:]_-_]", so it was accepted so long as the character after "-" was numerically greater than or equal to "_". Some implementation cleanup along the way: * Remove the lexnest() hack, and in consequence clean up wordchrs() to not interact with the lexer. * Fix colorcomplement() to not be O(N^2) in the number of colors involved. * Get rid of useless-as-far-as-I-can-see calls of element() on single-character character element names in brackpart(). element() always maps these to the character itself, and things would be quite broken if it didn't --- should "[a]" match something different than "a" does? Besides, the shortcut path in brackpart() wasn't doing this anyway, making it even more inconsistent.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. 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.

* Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

* Make locale-dependent regex character classes work for large char codes.Tom Lane2016-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we failed to recognize Unicode characters above U+7FF as being members of locale-dependent character classes such as [[:alpha:]]. (Actually, the same problem occurs for large pg_wchar values in any multibyte encoding, but UTF8 is the only case people have actually complained about.) It's impractical to get Spencer's original code to handle character classes or ranges containing many thousands of characters, because it insists on considering each member character individually at regex compile time, whether or not the character will ever be of interest at run time. To fix, choose a cutoff point MAX_SIMPLE_CHR below which we process characters individually as before, and deal with entire ranges or classes as single entities above that. We can actually make things cheaper than before for chars below the cutoff, because the color map can now be a simple linear array for those chars, rather than the multilevel tree structure Spencer designed. It's more expensive than before for chars above the cutoff, because we must do a binary search in a list of high chars and char ranges used in the regex pattern, plus call iswalpha() and friends for each locale-dependent character class used in the pattern. However, multibyte encodings are normally designed to give smaller codes to popular characters, so that we can expect that the slow path will be taken relatively infrequently. In any case, the speed penalty appears minor except when we have to apply iswalpha() etc. to high character codes at runtime --- and the previous coding gave wrong answers for those cases, so whether it was faster is moot.

* Remove typedef celt from the regex library, along with macro NOCELT.Tom Lane2016-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The regex library used to have a notion of a "collating element" that was distinct from a "character", but Henry Spencer never actually implemented his planned support for multi-character collating elements, and the Tcl crew ripped out most of the stubs for that years ago. The only thing left that distinguished the "celt" typedef from the "chr" typedef was that "celt" was supposed to also be able to hold the not-a-character "NOCELT" value. However, NOCELT was not used anywhere after the MCCE stub removal changes, which means there's no need for celt to be different from chr. Removing the separate typedef simplifies matters and also removes a trap for the unwary, in that celt is signed while chr may not be, so comparisons could mean different things. There's no bug there today because we restrict CHR_MAX to be less than INT_MAX, but I think there may have been such bugs before we did that, and there could be again if anyone ever decides to fool with the range of chr. This patch also removes assorted unnecessary casts to "chr" of values that are already chrs. Many of these seem to be leftover from days when the code was compatible with pre-ANSI C.
* Fix some regex issues with out-of-range characters and large char ranges.Tom Lane2016-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, our regex code defined CHR_MAX as 0xfffffffe, which is a bad choice because it is outside the range of type "celt" (int32). Characters approaching that limit could lead to infinite loops in logic such as "for (c = a; c <= b; c++)" where c is of type celt but the range bounds are chr. Such loops will work safely only if CHR_MAX+1 is representable in celt, since c must advance to beyond b before the loop will exit. Fortunately, there seems no reason not to restrict CHR_MAX to 0x7ffffffe. It's highly unlikely that Unicode will ever assign codes that high, and none of our other backend encodings need characters beyond that either. In addition to modifying the macro, we have to explicitly enforce character range restrictions on the values of \u, \U, and \x escape sequences, else the limit is trivially bypassed. Also, the code for expanding case-independent character ranges in bracket expressions had a potential integer overflow in its calculation of the number of characters it could generate, which could lead to allocating too small a character vector and then overwriting memory. An attacker with the ability to supply arbitrary regex patterns could easily cause transient DOS via server crashes, and the possibility for privilege escalation has not been ruled out. Quite aside from the integer-overflow problem, the range expansion code was unnecessarily inefficient in that it always produced a result consisting of individual characters, abandoning the knowledge that we had a range to start with. If the input range is large, this requires excessive memory. Change it so that the original range is reported as-is, and then we add on any case-equivalent characters that are outside that range. With this approach, we can bound the number of individual characters allowed without sacrificing much. This patch allows at most 100000 individual characters, which I believe to be more than the number of case pairs existing in Unicode, so that the restriction will never be hit in practice. It's still possible for range() to take awhile given a large character code range, so also add statement-cancel detection to its loop. The downstream function dovec() also lacked cancel detection, and could take a long time given a large output from range(). Per fuzz testing by Greg Stark. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Add caching of ctype.h/wctype.h results in regc_locale.c.Tom Lane2012-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While this doesn't save a huge amount of runtime, it still seems worth doing, especially since I realized that the data copying I did in my first draft was quite unnecessary. In this version, once we have the results cached, getting them back for re-use is really very cheap. Also, remove the hard-wired limitation to not consider wctype.h results for character codes above 255. It turns out that we can't push the limit as far up as I'd originally hoped, because the regex colormap code is not efficient enough to cope very well with character classes containing many thousand letters, which a Unicode locale is entirely capable of producing. Still, we can push it up to U+7FF (which I chose as the limit of 2-byte UTF8 characters), which will at least make Eastern Europeans happy pending a better solution. Thus, this commit resolves the specific complaint in bug #6457, but not the more general issue that letters of non-western alphabets are mostly not recognized as matching [[:alpha:]].
* Sync regex code with Tcl 8.5.11.Tom Lane2012-02-17
| | | | | | | | | Sync our regex code with upstream changes since last time we did this, which was Tcl 8.5.0 (see commit df1e965e12cdd48c11057ee6e15346ee2b8b02f5). There are no functional changes here; the main point is just to lay down a commit-log marker that somebody has looked at this recently, and to do what we can to keep the two codebases comparable.
* Teach regular expression operators to honor collations.Tom Lane2011-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This involves getting the character classification and case-folding functions in the regex library to use the collations infrastructure. Most of this work had been done already in connection with the upper/lower and LIKE logic, so it was a simple matter of transposition. While at it, split out these functions into a separate source file regc_pg_locale.c, so that they can be correctly labeled with the Postgres project's license rather than the Scriptics license. These functions are 100% Postgres-written code whereas what remains in regc_locale.c is still mostly not ours, so lumping them both under the same copyright notice was getting more and more misleading.

* Teach the regular expression functions to do case-insensitive matching andTom Lane2009-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | locale-dependent character classification properly when the database encoding is UTF8. The previous coding worked okay in single-byte encodings, or in any case for ASCII characters, but failed entirely on multibyte characters. The fix assumes that the <wctype.h> functions use Unicode code points as the wchar representation for Unicode, ie, wchar matches pg_wchar. This is only a partial solution, since we're still stupid about non-ASCII characters in multibyte encodings other than UTF8. The practical effect of that is limited, however, since those cases are generally Far Eastern glyphs for which concepts like case-folding don't apply anyway. Certainly all or nearly all of the field reports of problems have been about UTF8. A more general solution would require switching to the platform's wchar representation for all regex operations; which is possible but would have substantial disadvantages. Let's try this and see if it's sufficient in practice.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | was Tcl 8.4.8. The main changes are to remove the never-fully-implemented code for multi-character collating elements, and to const-ify some stuff a bit more fully. In combination with the recent security patch, this commit brings us into line with Tcl 8.5.0. Note that I didn't make any effort to duplicate a lot of cosmetic changes that they made to bring their copy into line with their own style guidelines, such as adding braces around single-line IF bodies. Most of those we either had done already (such as ANSI-fication of function headers) or there is no point because pgindent would undo the change anyway.

I left the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.
