* Avoid testing tuple visibility without buffer lock in RI_FKey_check().Tom Lane2016-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Despite the argumentation I wrote in commit 7a2fe85b0, it's unsafe to do this, because in corner cases it's possible for HeapTupleSatisfiesSelf to try to set hint bits on the target tuple; and at least since 8.2 we have required the buffer content lock to be held while setting hint bits. The added regression test exercises one such corner case. Unpatched, it causes an assertion failure in assert-enabled builds, or otherwise would cause a hint bit change in a buffer we don't hold lock on, which given the right race condition could result in checksum failures or other data consistency problems. The odds of a problem in the field are probably pretty small, but nonetheless back-patch to all supported branches. Report: <19391.1477244876@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Suppress "Factory" zone in pg_timezone_names view for tzdata >= 2016g.Tom Lane2016-10-19

* Fix cidin() to handle values above 2^31 platform-independently.Tom Lane2016-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CommandId is declared as uint32, and values up to 4G are indeed legal. cidout() handles them properly by treating the value as unsigned int. But cidin() was just using atoi(), which has platform-dependent behavior for values outside the range of signed int, as reported by Bart Lengkeek in bug #14379. Use strtoul() instead, as xidin() does. In passing, make some purely cosmetic changes to make xidin/xidout look more like cidin/cidout; the former didn't have a monopoly on best practice IMO. Neither xidin nor cidin make any attempt to throw error for invalid input. I didn't change that here, and am not sure it's worth worrying about since neither is really a user-facing type. The point is just to ensure that indubitably-valid inputs work as expected. It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix assorted integer-overflow hazards in varbit.c.Tom Lane2016-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bitshiftright() and bitshiftleft() would recursively call each other infinitely if the user passed INT_MIN for the shift amount, due to integer overflow in negating the shift amount. To fix, clamp to -VARBITMAXLEN. That doesn't change the results since any shift distance larger than the input bit string's length produces an all-zeroes result. Also fix some places that seemed inadequately paranoid about input typmods exceeding VARBITMAXLEN. While a typmod accepted by anybit_typmodin() will certainly be much less than that, at least some of these spots are reachable with user-chosen integer values.

* Fix broken jsonb_set() logic for replacing array elements.Tom Lane2016-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0b62fd036 did a fairly sloppy job of refactoring setPath() to support jsonb_insert() along with jsonb_set(). In its defense, though, there was no regression test case exercising the case of replacing an existing element in a jsonb array. Per bug #14366 from Peng Sun.

* Remove unnecessary int2vector-specific hash function and equality operator.Tom Lane2016-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These functions were originally added in commit d8cedf67a to support use of int2vector columns as catcache lookup keys. However, there are no catcaches that use such columns. (Indeed I now think it must always have been dead code: a catcache with such a key column would need an underlying unique index on the column, but we've never had an int2vector btree opclass.) Getting rid of the int2vector-specific operator and function does not lose any functionality, because operations on int2vectors will now fall back to the generic anyarray support. This avoids a wart that a btree index on an int2vector column (made using anyarray_ops) would fail to match equality searches, because int2vectoreq wasn't a member of the opclass. We don't really care much about that, since int2vector is not meant as a type for users to use, but it's silly to have extra code and less functionality. If we ever do want a catcache to be indexed by an int2vector column, we'd need to put back full btree and hash opclasses for int2vector, comparable to the support for oidvector. (The anyarray code can't be used at such a low level, because it needs to do catcache lookups.) But we'll deal with that if/when the need arises. Also worth noting is that removal of the hash int2vector_ops opclass will break any user-created hash indexes on int2vector columns. While hash anyarray_ops would serve the same purpose, it would probably not compute the same hash values and thus wouldn't be on-disk-compatible. Given that int2vector isn't a user-facing type and we're planning other incompatible changes in hash indexes for v10 anyway, this doesn't seem like something to worry about, but it's probably worth mentioning here.

* Extend framework from commit 53be0b1ad to report latch waits.Robert Haas2016-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WaitLatch, WaitLatchOrSocket, and WaitEventSetWait now taken an additional wait_event_info parameter; legal values are defined in pgstat.h. This makes it possible to uniquely identify every point in the core code where we are waiting for a latch; extensions can pass WAIT_EXTENSION. Because latches were the major wait primitive not previously covered by this patch, it is now possible to see information in pg_stat_activity on a large number of important wait events not previously addressed, such as ClientRead, ClientWrite, and SyncRep. Unfortunately, many of the wait events added by this patch will fail to appear in pg_stat_activity because they're only used in background processes which don't currently appear in pg_stat_activity. We should fix this either by creating a separate view for such information, or else by deciding to include them in pg_stat_activity after all.

* Rationalize format-picture caching logic in formatting.c.Tom Lane2016-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a validity flag to DCHCacheEntry and NUMCacheEntry entries, and do not set it true until after we've parsed the supplied format string. This allows dealing with possible errors while parsing the format without the baroque hack that was there before (which only covered errors within NUMDesc_prepare, anyway). We can get rid of the PG_TRY in NUMDesc_prepare, as well as last_NUMCacheEntry and NUM_cache_remove. (Essentially, this reverts commit ff783fbae in favor of a less fragile solution; the problems with that approach are well illustrated by later hacking such as 55f927a46.) In passing, define the size of these caches as DCH_CACHE_ENTRIES not DCH_CACHE_FIELDS + 1 (whoever thought that was a good definition?) and likewise for the NUM cache. Also const-ify format string parameters where convenient, and merge duplicated cache lookup logic. This is primarily driven by a proposed patch from Artur Zakirov, which introduced some ereport's into format string parsing for the datetime case. He proposed preventing the creation of invalid cache entries by parsing the format string first into a local-variable array, and then copying that to a cache entry. That seemed a bit ugly to me, and anyway randomly different from the way the identical problem had been solved for the numeric case. Let's make the two sets of code more similar not less so. I'm not sure whether we'll adopt the new error conditions Artur proposes, but this patch seems like good code cleanup and future-proofing in any case. The existing code is critically (and undocumented-ly) dependent on no elog being thrown out of several nontrivial functions, which is trouble waiting to happen, though it doesn't seem to be actively broken today.

* Make to_timestamp() and to_date() range-check fields of their input.Tom Lane2016-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, something like to_date('2009-06-40','YYYY-MM-DD') would return '2009-07-10' because there was no prohibition on out-of-range month or day numbers. This has been widely panned, and it also turns out that Oracle throws an error in such cases. Since these functions are nominally Oracle-compatibility features, let's change that. There's no particular restriction on year (modulo the fact that the scanner may not believe that more than 4 digits are year digits, a matter to be addressed separately if at all). But we now check month, day, hour, minute, second, and fractional-second fields, as well as day-of-year and second-of-day fields if those are used. Currently, no checks are made on ISO-8601-style week numbers or day numbers; it's not very clear what the appropriate rules would be there, and they're probably so little used that it's not worth sweating over.

* Refer to OS X as "macOS", except for the port name which is still "darwin".Tom Lane2016-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X" or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't Apple users. Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead to establish a consistent naming pattern. Also, avoid the use of the ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not seem desirable to change. (In short, this patch touches documentation and comments, but no actual code.) I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either. I suspect those are obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway. I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended up changing them too. Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this, so why shouldn't we be?
* Add overflow checks to money type input functionPeter Eisentraut2016-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | The money type input function did not have any overflow checks at all.

* Fix miserable coding in pg_stat_get_activity().Tom Lane2016-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit dd1a3bccc replaced a test on whether a subroutine returned a null pointer with a test on whether &pointer->backendStatus was null. This accidentally failed to fail, at least on common compilers, because backendStatus is the first field in the struct; but it was surely trouble waiting to happen. Commit f91feba87 then messed things up further, changing the logic to local_beentry = pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry(curr_backend); if (!local_beentry) continue; beentry = &local_beentry->backendStatus; if (!beentry) { where the second "if" is now dead code, so that the intended behavior of printing a row with "<backend information not available>" cannot occur. I suspect this is all moot because pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry will never actually return null in this function's usage, but it's still very poor coding. Repair back to 9.4 where the original problem was introduced.
* Avoid reporting "cache lookup failed" for some user-reachable cases.Tom Lane2016-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a not-terribly-thoroughly-enforced-yet project policy that internal errors with SQLSTATE XX000 (ie, plain elog) should not be triggerable from SQL. record_in, domain_in, and PL validator functions all failed to meet this standard, because they threw plain elog("cache lookup failed for XXX") errors on bad OIDs, and those are all invokable from SQL. For record_in, the best fix is to upgrade typcache.c (lookup_type_cache) to throw a user-facing error for this case. That seems consistent because it was more than halfway there already, having user-facing errors for shell types and non-composite types. Having done that, tweak domain_in to rely on the typcache to throw an appropriate error. (This costs little because InitDomainConstraintRef would fetch the typcache entry anyway.) For the PL validator functions, we already have a single choke point at CheckFunctionValidatorAccess, so just fix its error to be user-facing.

* Relax transactional restrictions on ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE.Tom Lane2016-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prevent possibly breaking indexes on enum columns, we must keep uncommitted enum values from getting stored in tables, unless we can be sure that any such column is new in the current transaction. Formerly, we enforced this by disallowing ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE from being executed at all in a transaction block, unless the target enum type had been created in the current transaction. This patch removes that restriction, and instead insists that an uncommitted enum value can't be referenced unless it belongs to an enum type created in the same transaction as the value. Per discussion, this should be a bit less onerous. It does require each function that could possibly return a new enum value to SQL operations to check this restriction, but there aren't so many of those that this seems unmaintainable.

* Don't require dynamic timezone abbreviations to match underlying time zone.Tom Lane2016-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we threw an error if a dynamic timezone abbreviation did not match any abbreviation recorded in the referenced IANA time zone entry. That seemed like a good consistency check at the time, but it turns out that a number of the abbreviations in the IANA database are things that Olson and crew made up out of whole cloth. Their current policy is to remove such names in favor of using simple numeric offsets. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a lot of these made-up abbreviations have varied in meaning over time, which meant that our commit b2cbced9e and later changes made them into dynamic abbreviations. So with newer IANA database versions that don't mention these abbreviations at all, we fail, as reported in bug #14307 from Neil Anderson. It's worse than just a few unused-in-the-wild abbreviations not working, because the pg_timezone_abbrevs view stops working altogether (since its underlying function tries to compute the whole view result in one call). We considered deleting these abbreviations from our abbreviations list, but the problem with that is that we can't stay ahead of possible future IANA changes. Instead, let's leave the abbreviations list alone, and treat any "orphaned" dynamic abbreviation as just meaning the referenced time zone. It will behave a bit differently than it used to, in that you can't any longer override the zone's standard vs. daylight rule by using the "wrong" abbreviation of a pair, but that's better than failing entirely. (Also, this solution can be interpreted as adding a small new feature, which is that any abbreviation a user wants can be defined as referencing a time zone name.) Back-patch to all supported branches, since this problem affects all of them when using tzdata 2016f or newer.

* Move code shared between libpq and backend from backend/libpq/ to common/.Heikki Linnakangas2016-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building libpq, ip.c and md5.c were symlinked or copied from src/backend/libpq into src/interfaces/libpq, but now that we have a directory specifically for routines that are shared between the server and client binaries, src/common/, move them there. Some routines in ip.c were only used in the backend. Keep those in src/backend/libpq, but rename to ifaddr.c to avoid confusion with the file that's now in common. Fix the comment in src/common/Makefile to reflect how libpq actually links those files. There are two more files that libpq symlinks directly from src/backend: encnames.c and wchar.c. I don't feel compelled to move those right now, though. Patch by Michael Paquier, with some changes by me. Discussion: <69938195-9c76-8523-0af8-eb718ea5b36e@iki.fi>
* 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.

* Add macros to make AllocSetContextCreate() calls simpler and safer.Tom Lane2016-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies, and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases. Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts; those two calls can be left as-is, I think. While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can gradually adopt the simplified notation over time. In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts. Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to avoid some future back-patching pain. The bugs fixed by these changes don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back. Discussion: <21072.1472321324@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Remove bogus dependencies on NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION.Tom Lane2016-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION is a purely arbitrary constraint on the precision and scale you can write in a numeric typmod. It might once have had something to do with the allowed range of a typmod-less numeric value, but at least since 9.1 we've allowed, and documented that we allowed, any value that would physically fit in the numeric storage format; which is something over 100000 decimal digits, not 1000. Hence, get rid of numeric_in()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION as a limit on the allowed range of the exponent in scientific-format input. That was especially silly in view of the fact that you can enter larger numbers as long as you don't use 'e' to do it. Just constrain the value enough to avoid localized overflow, and let make_result be the final arbiter of what is too large. Likewise adjust ecpg's equivalent of this code. Also get rid of numeric_recv()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION to limit the number of base-NBASE digits it would accept. That created a dump/restore hazard for binary COPY without doing anything useful; the wire-format limit on number of digits (65535) is about as tight as we would want. In HEAD, also get rid of pg_size_bytes()'s unnecessary intimacy with what the numeric range limit is. That code doesn't exist in the back branches. Per gripe from Aravind Kumar.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per discussion, we should provide such functions to replace the lost ability to discover AM properties by inspecting pg_am (cf commit 65c5fcd35). The added functionality is also meant to displace any code that was looking directly at pg_index.indoption, since we'd rather not believe that the bit meanings in that field are part of any client API contract. As future-proofing, define the SQL API to not assume that properties that are currently AM-wide or index-wide will remain so unless they logically must be; instead, expose them only when inquiring about a specific index or even specific index column. Also provide the ability for an index AM to override the behavior. In passing, document pg_am.amtype, overlooked in commit 473b93287.

* Fix several one-byte buffer over-reads in to_numberPeter Eisentraut2016-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several places in NUM_numpart_from_char(), which is called from the SQL function to_number(text, text), could accidentally read one byte past the end of the input buffer (which comes from the input text datum and is not null-terminated). 1. One leading space character would be skipped, but there was no check that the input was at least one byte long. This does not happen in practice, but for defensiveness, add a check anyway. 2. Commit 4a3a1e2cf apparently accidentally doubled that code that skips one space character (so that two spaces might be skipped), but there was no overflow check before skipping the second byte. Fix by removing that duplicate code. 3. A logic error would allow a one-byte over-read when looking for a trailing sign (S) placeholder. In each case, the extra byte cannot be read out directly, but looking at it might cause a crash. The third item was discovered by Piotr Stefaniak, the first two were found and analyzed by Tom Lane and Peter Eisentraut.

* Fix misestimation of n_distinct for a nearly-unique column with many nulls.Tom Lane2016-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If ANALYZE found no repeated non-null entries in its sample, it set the column's stadistinct value to -1.0, intending to indicate that the entries are all distinct. But what this value actually means is that the number of distinct values is 100% of the table's rowcount, and thus it was overestimating the number of distinct values by however many nulls there are. This could lead to very poor selectivity estimates, as for example in a recent report from Andreas Joseph Krogh. We should discount the stadistinct value by whatever we've estimated the nulls fraction to be. (That is what will happen if we choose to use a negative stadistinct for a column that does have repeated entries, so this code path was just inconsistent.) In addition to fixing the stadistinct entries stored by several different ANALYZE code paths, adjust the logic where get_variable_numdistinct() forces an "all distinct" estimate on the basis of finding a relevant unique index. Unique indexes don't reject nulls, so there's no reason to assume that the null fraction doesn't apply. Back-patch to all supported branches. Back-patching is a bit of a judgment call, but this problem seems to affect only a few users (else we'd have identified it long ago), and it's bad enough when it does happen that destabilizing plan choices in a worse direction seems unlikely.

* Make array_to_tsvector() sort and de-duplicate the given strings.Tom Lane2016-08-05
| | | | | | | This is required for the result to be a legal tsvector value. Noted while fooling with Andreas Seltenreich's ts_delete() crash. Discussion: <87invhoj6e.fsf@credativ.de>
* Fix ts_delete(tsvector, text[]) to cope with duplicate array entries.Tom Lane2016-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Such cases either failed an Assert, or produced a corrupt tsvector in non-Assert builds, as reported by Andreas Seltenreich. The reason is that tsvector_delete_by_indices() just assumed that its input array had no duplicates. Fix by explicitly de-duping. In passing, improve some comments, and fix a number of tests for null values to use ERRCODE_NULL_VALUE_NOT_ALLOWED not ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE. Discussion: <87invhoj6e.fsf@credativ.de>

* Make INSERT-from-multiple-VALUES-rows handle targetlist indirection better.Tom Lane2016-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if an INSERT with multiple rows of VALUES had indirection (array subscripting or field selection) in its target-columns list, the parser handled that by applying transformAssignedExpr() to each element of each VALUES row independently. This led to having ArrayRef assignment nodes or FieldStore nodes in each row of the VALUES RTE. That works for simple cases, but in bug #14265 Nuri Boardman points out that it fails if there are multiple assignments to elements/fields of the same target column. For such cases to work, rewriteTargetListIU() has to nest the ArrayRefs or FieldStores together to produce a single expression to be assigned to the column. But it failed to find them in the top-level targetlist and issued an error about "multiple assignments to same column". We could possibly fix this by teaching the rewriter to apply rewriteTargetListIU to each VALUES row separately, but that would be messy (it would change the output rowtype of the VALUES RTE, for example) and inefficient. Instead, let's fix the parser so that the VALUES RTE outputs are just the user-specified values, cast to the right type if necessary, and then the ArrayRefs or FieldStores are applied in the top-level targetlist to Vars representing the RTE's outputs. This is the same parsetree representation already used for similar cases with INSERT/SELECT syntax, so it allows simplifications in ruleutils.c, which no longer needs to treat INSERT-from-multiple-VALUES as its own special case. This implementation works by applying transformAssignedExpr to the VALUES entries as before, and then stripping off any ArrayRefs or FieldStores it adds. With lots of VALUES rows it would be noticeably more efficient to not add those nodes in the first place. But that's just an optimization not a bug fix, and there doesn't seem to be any good way to do it without significant refactoring. (A non-invasive answer would be to apply transformAssignedExpr + stripping to just the first VALUES row, and then just forcibly cast remaining rows to the same data types exposed in the first row. But this way would lead to different, not-INSERT-specific errors being reported in casting failure cases, so it doesn't seem very nice.) So leave that for later; this patch at least isn't making the per-row parsing work worse, and it does make the finished parsetree smaller, saving rewriter and planner work. Catversion bump because stored rules containing such INSERTs would need to change. Because of that, no back-patch, even though this is a very long-standing bug.

* Fix assorted fallout from IS [NOT] NULL patch.Tom Lane2016-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 4452000f3 et al established semantics for NullTest.argisrow that are a bit different from its initial conception: rather than being merely a cache of whether we've determined the input to have composite type, the flag now has the further meaning that we should apply field-by-field testing as per the standard's definition of IS [NOT] NULL. If argisrow is false and yet the input has composite type, the construct instead has the semantics of IS [NOT] DISTINCT FROM NULL. Update the comments in primnodes.h to clarify this, and fix ruleutils.c and deparse.c to print such cases correctly. In the case of ruleutils.c, this merely results in cosmetic changes in EXPLAIN output, since the case can't currently arise in stored rules. However, it represents a live bug for deparse.c, which would formerly have sent a remote query that had semantics different from the local behavior. (From the user's standpoint, this means that testing a remote nested-composite column for null-ness could have had unexpected recursive behavior much like that fixed in 4452000f3.) In a related but somewhat independent fix, make plancat.c set argisrow to false in all NullTest expressions constructed to represent "attnotnull" constructs. Since attnotnull is actually enforced as a simple null-value check, this is a more accurate representation of the semantics; we were previously overpromising what it meant for composite columns, which might possibly lead to incorrect planner optimizations. (It seems that what the SQL spec expects a NOT NULL constraint to mean is an IS NOT NULL test, so arguably we are violating the spec and should fix attnotnull to do the other thing. If we ever do, this part should get reverted.) Back-patch, same as the previous commit. Discussion: <10682.1469566308@sss.pgh.pa.us>
* Change various deparsing functions to return NULL for invalid input.Robert Haas2016-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | Previously, some functions returned various fixed strings and others failed with a cache lookup error. Per discussion, standardize on returning NULL. Although user-exposed "cache lookup failed" error messages might normally qualify for bug-fix treatment, no back-patch; the risk of breaking user code which is accustomed to the current behavior seems too high.

* Fix crash in close_ps() for NaN input coordinates.Tom Lane2016-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | The Assert() here seems unreasonably optimistic. Andreas Seltenreich found that it could fail with NaNs in the input geometries, and it seems likely to me that it might fail in corner cases due to roundoff error, even for ordinary input values. As a band-aid, make the function return SQL NULL instead of crashing. Report: <87d1md1xji.fsf@credativ.de>

* Fix GiST index build for NaN values in geometric types.Tom Lane2016-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GiST index build could go into an infinite loop when presented with boxes (or points, circles or polygons) containing NaN component values. This happened essentially because the code assumed that x == x is true for any "double" value x; but it's not true for NaNs. The looping behavior was not the only problem though: we also attempted to sort the items using simple double comparisons. Since NaNs violate the trichotomy law, qsort could (in principle at least) get arbitrarily confused and mess up the sorting of ordinary values as well as NaNs. And we based splitting choices on box size calculations that could produce NaNs, again resulting in undesirable behavior. To fix, replace all comparisons of doubles in this logic with float8_cmp_internal, which is NaN-aware and is careful to sort NaNs consistently, higher than any non-NaN. Also rearrange the box size calculation to not produce NaNs; instead it should produce an infinity for a box with NaN on one side and not-NaN on the other. I don't by any means claim that this solves all problems with NaNs in geometric values, but it should at least make GiST index insertion work reliably with such data. It's likely that the index search side of things still needs some work, and probably regular geometric operations too. But with this patch we're laying down a convention for how such cases ought to behave. Per bug #14238 from Guang-Dih Lei. Back-patch to 9.2; the code used before commit 7f3bd86843e5aad8 is quite different and doesn't lock up on my simple test case, nor on the submitter's dataset.
