* Clean up assorted failures under clang's -fsanitize=undefined checks.Tom Lane2022-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of these are cases where we could call memcpy() or other libc functions with a NULL pointer and a zero count, which is forbidden by POSIX even though every production version of libc allows it. We've fixed such things before in a piecemeal way, but apparently never made an effort to try to get them all. I don't claim that this patch does so either, but it gets every failure I observe in check-world, using clang 12.0.1 on current RHEL8. numeric.c has a different issue that the sanitizer doesn't like: "ln(-1.0)" will compute log10(0) and then try to assign the resulting -Inf to an integer variable. We don't actually use the result in such a case, so there's no live bug. Back-patch to all supported branches, with the idea that we might start running a buildfarm member that tests this case. This includes back-patching c1132aae3 (Check the size in COPY_POINTER_FIELD), which previously silenced some of these issues in copyfuncs.c.

* Fix corner-case loss of precision in numeric_power().Dean Rasheed2021-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a loss of precision that occurs when the first input is very close to 1, so that its logarithm is very small. Formerly, during the initial low-precision calculation to estimate the result weight, the logarithm was computed to a local rscale that was capped to NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000). However, the base may be as close as 1e-16383 to 1, hence its logarithm may be as small as 1e-16383, and so the local rscale needs to be allowed to exceed 16383, otherwise all precision is lost, leading to a poor choice of rscale for the full-precision calculation. Fix this by removing the cap on the local rscale during the initial low-precision calculation, as we already do in the full-precision calculation. This doesn't change the fact that the initial calculation is a low-precision approximation, computing the logarithm to around 8 significant digits, which is very fast, especially when the base is very close to 1. Patch by me, reviewed by Alvaro Herrera. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAEZATCV-Ceu%2BHpRMf416yUe4KKFv%3DtdgXQAe5-7S9tD%3D5E-T1g%40mail.gmail.com
* Adjust the integer overflow tests in the numeric code.Dean Rasheed2021-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, the numeric code tested whether an integer value of a larger type would fit in a smaller type by casting it to the smaller type and then testing if the reverse conversion produced the original value. That's perfectly fine, except that it caused a test failure on buildfarm animal castoroides, most likely due to a compiler bug. Instead, do these tests by comparing against PG_INT16/32_MIN/MAX. That matches existing code in other places, such as int84(), which is more widely tested, and so is less likely to go wrong. While at it, add regression tests covering the numeric-to-int8/4/2 conversions, and adjust the recently added tests to the style of 434ddfb79a (on the v11 branch) to make failures easier to diagnose.

* Fix division-by-zero error in to_char() with 'EEEE' format.Dean Rasheed2021-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a long-standing bug when using to_char() to format a numeric value in scientific notation -- if the value's exponent is less than -NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE-1 (-1001), it produced a division-by-zero error. The reason for this error was that get_str_from_var_sci() divides its input by 10^exp, which it produced using power_var_int(). However, the underflow test in power_var_int() causes it to return zero if the result scale is too small. That's not a problem for power_var_int()'s only other caller, power_var(), since that limits the rscale to 1000, but in get_str_from_var_sci() the exponent can be much smaller, requiring a much larger rscale. Fix by introducing a new function to compute 10^exp directly, with no rscale limit. This also allows 10^exp to be computed more efficiently, without any numeric multiplication, division or rounding.

* Fix corner-case errors and loss of precision in numeric_power().Dean Rasheed2021-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a couple of related problems that arise when raising numbers to very large powers. Firstly, when raising a negative number to a very large integer power, the result should be well-defined, but the previous code would only cope if the exponent was small enough to go through power_var_int(). Otherwise it would throw an internal error, attempting to take the logarithm of a negative number. Fix this by adding suitable handling to the general case in power_var() to cope with negative bases, checking for integer powers there. Next, when raising a (positive or negative) number whose absolute value is slightly less than 1 to a very large power, the result should approach zero as the power is increased. However, in some cases, for sufficiently large powers, this would lose all precision and return 1 instead of 0. This was due to the way that the local_rscale was being calculated for the final full-precision calculation: local_rscale = rscale + (int) val - ln_dweight + 8 The first two terms on the right hand side are meant to give the number of significant digits required in the result ("val" being the estimated result weight). However, this failed to account for the fact that rscale is clipped to a maximum of NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000), and the result weight might be less then -1000, causing their sum to be negative, leading to a loss of precision. Fix this by forcing the number of significant digits calculated to be nonnegative. It's OK for it to be zero (when the result weight is less than -1000), since the local_rscale value then includes a few extra digits to ensure an accurate result. Finally, add additional underflow checks to exp_var() and power_var(), so that they consistently return zero for cases like this where the result is indistinguishable from zero. Some paths through this code already returned zero in such cases, but others were throwing overflow errors. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Yugo Nagata.

| | | | | | | Commit bc43b7c2c0 used fabs() directly on an int variable, which apparently requires an explicit cast on some platforms. Per buildfarm.
* Fix numeric_power() when the exponent is INT_MIN.Dean Rasheed2021-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | In power_var_int(), the computation of the number of significant digits to use in the computation used log(Abs(exp)), which isn't safe because Abs(exp) returns INT_MIN when exp is INT_MIN. Use fabs() instead of Abs(), so that the exponent is cast to a double before the absolute value is taken. Back-patch to 9.6, where this was introduced (by 7d9a4737c2).

* Fix mishandling of NaN counts in numeric_[avg_]combine.Tom Lane2020-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When merging two NumericAggStates, the code missed adding the new state's NaNcount unless its N was also nonzero; since those counts are independent, this is wrong. This would only have visible effect if some partial aggregate scans found only NaNs while earlier ones found only non-NaNs; then we could end up falsely deciding that there were no NaNs and fail to return a NaN final result as expected. That's pretty improbable, so it's no surprise this hasn't been reported from the field. Still, it's a bug. I didn't try to produce a regression test that would show the bug, but I did notice that these functions weren't being reached at all in our regression tests, so I improved the tests to at least exercise them. With these additions, I see pretty complete code coverage on the aggregation-related functions in numeric.c. Back-patch to 9.6 where this code was introduced. (I only added the improved test case as far back as v10, though, since the relevant part of aggregates.sql isn't there at all in 9.6.)
* Run pgindent with new pg_bsd_indent version 2.1.1.Tom Lane2020-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Thomas Munro fixed a longstanding annoyance in pg_bsd_indent, that it would misformat lines containing IsA() macros on the assumption that the IsA() call should be treated like a cast. This improves some other cases involving field/variable names that match typedefs, too. The only places that get worse are a couple of uses of the OpenSSL macro STACK_OF(); we'll gladly take that trade-off. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200114221814.GA19630@alvherre.pgsql
* Improve the performance and accuracy of numeric sqrt() and ln().Dean Rasheed2020-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of using Newton's method to compute numeric square roots, use the Karatsuba square root algorithm, which performs better for numbers of all sizes. In practice, this is 3-5 times faster for inputs with just a few digits and up to around 10 times faster for larger inputs. Also, the new algorithm guarantees that the final digit of the result is correctly rounded, since it computes an integer square root with truncation, containing at least 1 extra decimal digit before rounding. The former algorithm would occasionally round the wrong way because it rounded both the intermediate and final results. In addition, arrange for sqrt_var() to explicitly support negative rscale values (rounding before the decimal point). This allows the argument reduction phase of ln_var() to be optimised for large inputs, since it only needs to compute square roots with a few more digits than the final ln() result, rather than computing all the digits before the decimal point. For very large inputs, this can be many thousands of times faster. In passing, optimise div_var_fast() in a couple of places where it was doing unnecessary work. Patch be me, reviewed by Tom Lane and Tels. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAEZATCV1A7+jD3P30Zu31KjaxeSEyOn3v9d6tYegpxcq3cQu-g@mail.gmail.com
* Fix corner-case loss of precision in numeric ln().Dean Rasheed2020-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When deciding on the local rscale to use for the Taylor series expansion, ln_var() neglected to account for the fact that the result is subsequently multiplied by a factor of 2^(nsqrt+1), where nsqrt is the number of square root operations performed in the range reduction step, which can be as high as 22 for very large inputs. This could result in a loss of precision, particularly when combined with large rscale values, for which a large number of Taylor series terms is required (up to around 400). Fix by computing a few extra digits in the Taylor series, based on the weight of the multiplicative factor log10(2^(nsqrt+1)). It remains to be proven whether or not the other 8 extra digits used for the Taylor series is appropriate, but this at least deals with the obvious oversight of failing to account for the effects of the final multiplication.

* Add safeguards in LSN, numeric and float calculation for custom errorsMichael Paquier2019-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Those data types use parsing and/or calculation wrapper routines which can generate some generic error messages in the event of a failure. The caller of these routines can also pass a pointer variable settable by the routine to track if an error has happened, letting the caller decide what to do in the event of an error and what error message to generate. Those routines have been slacking the initialization of the tracking flag, which can be confusing when reading the code, so add some safeguards against calls of these parsing routines which could lead to a dubious result. The LSN parsing gains an assertion to make sure that the tracking flag is set, while numeric and float paths initialize the flag to a saner state.

* Create the infrastructure for planner support functions.Tom Lane2019-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename/repurpose pg_proc.protransform as "prosupport". The idea is still that it names an internal function that provides knowledge to the planner about the behavior of the function it's attached to; but redesign the API specification so that it's not limited to doing just one thing, but can support an extensible set of requests. The original purpose of simplifying a function call is handled by the first request type to be invented, SupportRequestSimplify. Adjust all the existing transform functions to handle this API, and rename them fron "xxx_transform" to "xxx_support" to reflect the potential generalization of what they do. (Since we never previously provided any way for extensions to add transform functions, this change doesn't create an API break for them.) Also add DDL and pg_dump support for attaching a support function to a user-defined function. Unfortunately, DDL access has to be restricted to superusers, at least for now; but seeing that support functions will pretty much have to be written in C, that limitation is just theoretical. (This support is untested in this patch, but a follow-on patch will add cases that exercise it.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15193.1548028093@sss.pgh.pa.us

For consistency, let's switch the numeric behavior to the modern spec in the same release that ensures that behavior for float8.

This is just cosmetic at the moment but in principle it's a type violation, so clean up the instances I could find. autoprewarm.c and sharedfileset.c contained code that unportably assumed that pid_t is the same size as int. We've variously dealt with this by casting pid_t to int or to unsigned long for printing purposes; I went with the latter. Fix uninitialized-variable warning in RestoreGUCState.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent gcc can warn about switch-case fall throughs that are not explicitly labeled as intentional. This seems like a good thing, so clean up the warnings exposed thereby by labeling all such cases with comments that gcc will recognize. In files that already had one or more suitable comments, I generally matched the existing style of those. Otherwise I went with /* FALLTHROUGH */, which is one of the spellings approved at the more-restrictive-than-default level -Wimplicit-fallthrough=4. (At the default level you can also spell it /* FALL ?THRU */, and it's not picky about case. What you can't do is include additional text in the same comment, so some existing comments containing versions of this aren't good enough.) Testing with gcc 8.0.1 (Fedora 28's current version), I found that I also had to put explicit "break"s after elog(ERROR) or ereport(ERROR); apparently, for this purpose gcc doesn't recognize that those don't return. That seems like possibly a gcc bug, but it's fine because in most places we did that anyway; so this amounts to a visit from the style police.

* Fix behavior when converting a float infinity to numeric.Tom Lane2017-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | float8_numeric() and float4_numeric() failed to consider the possibility that the input is an IEEE infinity. The results depended on the platform-specific behavior of sprintf(): on most platforms you'd get something like ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: "inf" but at least on Windows it's possible for the conversion to succeed and deliver a finite value (typically 1), due to a nonstandard output format from sprintf and lack of syntax error checking in these functions. Since our numeric type lacks the concept of infinity, a suitable conversion is impossible; the best thing to do is throw an explicit error before letting sprintf do its thing. While at it, let's use snprintf not sprintf. Overrunning the buffer should be impossible if sprintf does what it's supposed to, but this is cheap insurance against a stack smash if it doesn't.

* Introduce 64-bit hash functions with a 64-bit seed.Robert Haas2017-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will be useful for hash partitioning, which needs a way to seed the hash functions to avoid problems such as a hash index on a hash partitioned table clumping all values into a small portion of the bucket space; it's also useful for anything that wants a 64-bit hash value rather than a 32-bit hash value. Just in case somebody wants a 64-bit hash value that is compatible with the existing 32-bit hash values, make the low 32-bits of the 64-bit hash value match the 32-bit hash value when the seed is 0.

* Manually un-break a few URLs that pgindent used to insist on splitting.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | These will no longer get re-split by pgindent runs, so it's worth cleaning them up now. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/E1dAmxK-0006EE-1r@gemulon.postgresql.org Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/30527.1495162840@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* 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.

* Use wrappers of PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED() more.Noah Misch2017-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes almost all core code follow the policy introduced in the previous commit. Specific decisions: - Text search support functions with char* and length arguments, such as prsstart and lexize, may receive unaligned strings. I doubt maintainers of non-core text search code will notice. - Use plain VARDATA() on values detoasted or synthesized earlier in the same function. Use VARDATA_ANY() on varlenas sourced outside the function, even if they happen to always have four-byte headers. As an exception, retain the universal practice of using VARDATA() on return values of SendFunctionCall(). - Retain PG_GETARG_BYTEA_P() in pageinspect. (Page images are too large for a one-byte header, so this misses no optimization.) Sites that do not call get_page_from_raw() typically need the four-byte alignment. - For now, do not change btree_gist. Its use of four-byte headers in memory is partly entangled with storage of 4-byte headers inside GBT_VARKEY, on disk. - For now, do not change gtrgm_consistent() or gtrgm_distance(). They incorporate the varlena header into a cache, and there are multiple credible implementation strategies to consider.

* Generate fmgr prototypes automaticallyPeter Eisentraut2017-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | Gen_fmgrtab.pl creates a new file fmgrprotos.h, which contains prototypes for all functions registered in pg_proc.h. This avoids having to manually maintain these prototypes across a random variety of header files. It also automatically enforces a correct function signature, and since there are warnings about missing prototypes, it will detect functions that are defined but not registered in pg_proc.h (or otherwise used).

* Speed up SUM calculation in numeric aggregates.Heikki Linnakangas2016-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a numeric sum accumulator, which performs better than repeatedly calling add_var(). The performance comes from using wider digits and delaying carry propagation, tallying positive and negative values separately, and avoiding a round of palloc/pfree on every value. This speeds up SUM(), as well as other standard aggregates like AVG() and STDDEV() that also calculate a sum internally.
