* pg_noreturn to replace pg_attribute_noreturn()Peter Eisentraut2025-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to support a "noreturn" decoration on more compilers besides just GCC-compatible ones, but for that we need to move the decoration in front of the function declaration instead of either behind it or wherever, which is the current style afforded by GCC-style attributes. Also rename the macro to "pg_noreturn" to be similar to the C11 standard "noreturn". pg_noreturn is now supported on all compilers that support C11 (using _Noreturn), as well as GCC-compatible ones (using __attribute__, as before), as well as MSVC (using __declspec). (When PostgreSQL requires C11, the latter two variants can be dropped.) Now, all supported compilers effectively support pg_noreturn, so the extra code for !HAVE_PG_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN can be dropped. This also fixes a possible problem if third-party code includes stdnoreturn.h, because then the current definition of #define pg_attribute_noreturn() __attribute__((noreturn)) would cause an error. Note that the C standard does not support a noreturn attribute on function pointer types. So we have to drop these here. There are only two instances at this time, so it's not a big loss. In one case, we can make up for it by adding the pg_noreturn to a wrapper function and adding a pg_unreachable(), in the other case, the latter was already done before.

* Remove not-very-useful early checks of __pg_log_level in logging.h.Tom Lane2022-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enforce __pg_log_level message filtering centrally in logging.c, instead of relying on the calling macros to do it. This is more reliable (e.g. it works correctly for direct calls to pg_log_generic) and it saves a percent or so of total code size because we get rid of so many duplicate checks of __pg_log_level. This does mean that argument expressions in a logging macro will be evaluated even if we end up not printing anything. That seems of little concern for INFO and higher levels as those messages are printed by default, and most of our frontend programs don't even offer a way to turn them off. I left the unlikely() checks in place for DEBUG messages, though. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3993549.1649449609@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Improve frontend error logging style.Tom Lane2022-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the separate "FATAL" log level, as it was applied so inconsistently as to be meaningless. This mostly involves s/pg_log_fatal/pg_log_error/g. Create a macro pg_fatal() to handle the common use-case of pg_log_error() immediately followed by exit(1). Various modules had already invented either this or equivalent macros; standardize on pg_fatal() and apply it where possible. Invent the ability to add "detail" and "hint" messages to a frontend message, much as we have long had in the backend. Except where rewording was needed to convert existing coding to detail/hint style, I have (mostly) resisted the temptation to change existing message wording. Patch by me.

* Move logging.h and logging.c from src/fe_utils/ to src/common/.Tom Lane2019-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original placement of this module in src/fe_utils/ is ill-considered, because several src/common/ modules have dependencies on it, meaning that libpgcommon and libpgfeutils now have mutual dependencies. That makes it pointless to have distinct libraries at all. The intended design is that libpgcommon is lower-level than libpgfeutils, so only dependencies from the latter to the former are acceptable. We already have the precedent that fe_memutils and a couple of other modules in src/common/ are frontend-only, so it's not stretching anything out of whack to treat logging.c as a frontend-only module in src/common/. To the extent that such modules help provide a common frontend/backend environment for the rest of common/ to use, it's a reasonable design. (logging.c does not yet provide an ereport() emulation, but one can dream.) Hence, move these files over, and revert basically all of the build-system changes made by commit cc8d41511. There are no places that need to grow new dependencies on libpgcommon, further reinforcing the idea that this is the right solution.

* Unified logging system for command-line programsPeter Eisentraut2019-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs. Features: - Program name is automatically prefixed. - Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common source of inconsistencies and omissions. - Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes. - I converted error message strings to use %m where possible. - As a result of the above several points, more translatable message strings can be shared between different components and between frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace differences. - There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or verbose modes. - Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at some level is disabled. - Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be customized by setting PG_COLORS. - Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to pass "progname" around everywhere. - Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This is now done centrally. Soft goals: - Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting in the source code. - Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example, in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code whether a message was meant as an error or just an info. - Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging frameworks such as log4j and Python logging. This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that. Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit, and I adapted those. I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now changed to stderr.

* 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.

* Tweak __attribute__-wrapping macros for better pgindent results.Tom Lane2015-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This improves on commit bbfd7edae5aa5ad5553d3c7e102f2e450d4380d4 by making two simple changes: * pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn(). Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them. * attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts, which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns. I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.
* Add macros wrapping all usage of gcc's __attribute__.Andres Freund2015-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers; which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h. Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf, pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed, but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality. This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on __attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many occurances of that and it's hard to work around... Discussion: 54B58BA3.8040302@ohmu.fi Author: Oskari Saarenmaa, with some minor changes by me.

* pg_dump: Reduce use of global variablesAlvaro Herrera2014-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most pg_dump.c global variables, which were passed down individually to dumping routines, are now grouped as members of the new DumpOptions struct, which is used as a local variable and passed down into routines that need it. This helps future development efforts; in particular it is said to enable a mode in which a parallel pg_dump run can output multiple streams, and have them restored in parallel. Also take the opportunity to clean up the pg_dump header files somewhat, to avoid circularity. Author: Joachim Wieland, revised by Álvaro Herrera Reviewed by Peter Eisentraut

* Move some pg_dump function around.Heikki Linnakangas2013-03-27
Move functions used only by pg_dump and pg_restore from dumputils.c to a new file, pg_backup_utils.c. dumputils.c is linked into psql and some programs in bin/scripts, so it seems good to keep it slim. The parallel functionality is moved to parallel.c, as is exit_horribly, because the interesting code in exit_horribly is parallel-related. This refactoring gets rid of the on_exit_msg_func function pointer. It was problematic, because a modern gcc version with -Wmissing-format-attribute complained if it wasn't marked with PF_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE, but the ancient gcc version that Tom Lane's old HP-UX box has didn't accept that attribute on a function pointer, and gave an error. We still use a similar function pointer trick for getLocalPQBuffer() function, to use a thread-local version of that in parallel mode on Windows, but that dodges the problem because it doesn't take printf-like arguments.
