* Remove pg_rewind's private logging.h/logging.c files.Tom Lane2019-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | The existence of these files became rather confusing with the introduction of a widely-known logging.h header in commit cc8d41511. (Indeed, there's already some duplicative #includes here, perhaps betraying such confusion.) The only thing left in them, after that commit, is a progress-reporting function that's neither general-purpose nor tied in any way to other logging infrastructure. Hence, let's just move that function to pg_rewind.c, and get rid of the separate files. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3971.1557787914@sss.pgh.pa.us
* 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.

| | | | | In pg_log_v(), we need to translate the fmt before processing, not the formatted message afterwards.

* Minor cleanup of pg_rewind.Heikki Linnakangas2015-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | Update comments and function names to use the terms "source" and "target" consistently. Some places were calling them remote and local instead, which was confusing. Fix incorrect comment in extractPageInfo on database creation record - it was wrong on what happens for databases created in the target that don't exist in source.
* Silence gettext warning about '\r' escape sequence in translatable string.Fujii Masao2015-04-13
| | | | | | | | gettext was unhappy about the commit b216ad7 because it revealed the problem that internationalized messages may contain '\r' escape sequence in pg_rewind. This commit moves '\r' to a separate printf() call. Michael Paquier, bug reported by Peter Eisentraut

Earlier versions of this tool were available (and still are) on github. Thanks to Michael Paquier, Alvaro Herrera, Peter Eisentraut, Amit Kapila, and Satoshi Nagayasu for review.
