* Provide database object names as separate fields in error messages.Tom Lane2013-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses the problem that applications currently have to extract object names from possibly-localized textual error messages, if they want to know for example which index caused a UNIQUE_VIOLATION failure. It adds new error message fields to the wire protocol, which can carry the name of a table, table column, data type, or constraint associated with the error. (Since the protocol spec has always instructed clients to ignore unrecognized field types, this should not create any compatibility problem.) Support for providing these new fields has been added to just a limited set of error reports (mainly, those in the "integrity constraint violation" SQLSTATE class), but we will doubtless add them to more calls in future. Pavel Stehule, reviewed and extensively revised by Peter Geoghegan, with additional hacking by Tom Lane.
* Improve handling of ereport(ERROR) and elog(ERROR).Tom Lane2013-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 71450d7fd6c7cf7b3e38ac56e363bff6a681973c, we added code to inform suitably-intelligent compilers that ereport() doesn't return if the elevel is ERROR or higher. This patch extends that to elog(), and also fixes a double-evaluation hazard that the previous commit created in ereport(), as well as reducing the emitted code size. The elog() improvement requires the compiler to support __VA_ARGS__, which should be available in just about anything nowadays since it's required by C99. But our minimum language baseline is still C89, so add a configure test for that. The previous commit assumed that ereport's elevel could be evaluated twice, which isn't terribly safe --- there are already counterexamples in xlog.c. On compilers that have __builtin_constant_p, we can use that to protect the second test, since there's no possible optimization gain if the compiler doesn't know the value of elevel. Otherwise, use a local variable inside the macros to prevent double evaluation. The local-variable solution is inferior because (a) it leads to useless code being emitted when elevel isn't constant, and (b) it increases the optimization level needed for the compiler to recognize that subsequent code is unreachable. But it seems better than not teaching non-gcc compilers about unreachability at all. Lastly, if the compiler has __builtin_unreachable(), we can use that instead of abort(), resulting in a noticeable code savings since no function call is actually emitted. However, it seems wise to do this only in non-assert builds. In an assert build, continue to use abort(), so that the behavior will be predictable and debuggable if the "impossible" happens. These changes involve making the ereport and elog macros emit do-while statement blocks not just expressions, which forces small changes in a few call sites.

* Use correct text domain for translating errcontext() messages.Heikki Linnakangas2012-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | errcontext() is typically used in an error context callback function, not within an ereport() invocation like e.g errmsg and errdetail are. That means that the message domain that the TEXTDOMAIN magic in ereport() determines is not the right one for the errcontext() calls. The message domain needs to be determined by the C file containing the errcontext() call, not the file containing the ereport() call. Fix by turning errcontext() into a macro that passes the TEXTDOMAIN to use for the errcontext message. "errcontext" was used in a few places as a variable or struct field name, I had to rename those out of the way, now that errcontext is a macro. We've had this problem all along, but this isn't doesn't seem worth backporting. It's a fairly minor issue, and turning errcontext from a function to a macro requires at least a recompile of any external code that calls errcontext().
* Teach compiler that ereport(>=ERROR) does not returnPeter Eisentraut2012-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | When elevel >= ERROR, we add an abort() call to the ereport() macro to give the compiler a hint that the ereport() expansion will not return, but the abort() isn't actually reached because the longjmp happens in errfinish(). Because the effect of ereport() varies with the elevel, we cannot use standard compiler attributes such as noreturn for this.

* Add a hook for processing messages due to be sent to the server log.Tom Lane2012-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | Use-cases for this include custom log filtering rules and custom log message transmission mechanisms (for instance, lossy log message collection, which has been discussed several times recently). As is our common practice for hooks, there's no regression test nor user-facing documentation for this, though the author did exhibit a sample module using the hook.

* Add an errdetail_internal() ereport auxiliary routine.Tom Lane2011-07-16
| | | | | | | | | This function supports untranslated detail messages, in the same way that errmsg_internal supports untranslated primary messages.

* Revise the API for GUC variable assign hooks.Tom Lane2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous functions of assign hooks are now split between check hooks and assign hooks, where the former can fail but the latter shouldn't. Aside from being conceptually clearer, this approach exposes the "canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having to do an actual assignment. And that lets us fix the problem recently noted by Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for wal_buffers resulted in bogus log messages about "parameter "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without restarting the server". There may be some speed advantage too, because this design lets hook functions avoid re-parsing variable values when restoring a previous state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed representation of the value instead). This patch also resolves a longstanding annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign hooks: they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message about "invalid parameter value".

* Improve the recently-added support for properly pluralized error messagesTom Lane2009-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | by extending the ereport() API to cater for pluralization directly. This is better than the original method of calling ngettext outside the elog.c code because (1) it avoids double translation, which wastes cycles and in the worst case could give a wrong result; and (2) it avoids having to use a different coding method in PL code than in the core backend. The client-side uses of ngettext are not touched since neither of these concerns is very pressing in the client environment. Per my proposal of yesterday.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | recursion when we are unable to convert a localized error message to the client's encoding. We've been over this ground before, but as reported by Ibrar Ahmed, it still didn't work in the case of conversion failures for the conversion-failure message itself :-(. Fix by installing a "circuit breaker" that disables attempts to localize this message once we get into recursion trouble. Patch all supported branches, because it is in fact broken in all of them; though I had to add some missing translations to the older branches in order to expose the failure in the particular test case I was using.

* Repair two places where SIGTERM exit could leave shared memory stateTom Lane2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem, but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around. Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1, and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching further.
* Add a new ereport auxiliary function errdetail_log(), which works the same asTom Lane2008-03-24

* Fix oversight in PG_RE_THROW processing: it's entirely possible that thereTom Lane2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | isn't any place to throw the error to. If so, we should treat the error as FATAL, just as we would have if it'd been thrown outside the PG_TRY block to begin with. Although this is clearly a *potential* source of bugs, it is not clear at the moment whether it is an *actual* source of bugs; there may not presently be any PG_TRY blocks in code that can be reached with no outer longjmp catcher. So for the moment I'm going to be conservative and not back-patch this. The change breaks ABI for users of PG_RE_THROW and hence might create compatibility problems for loadable modules, so we should not put it into released branches without proof that it's needed.

This seems reasonably plausible to happen, particularly at higher debug log levels, though I am not certain it explains Han Holl's recent report. Easiest fix is to teach the code how to change the value on-the-fly, which is nicer anyway. I made the settings PGC_SIGHUP to conform with log_destination.
* Implement two new special variables in PL/PgSQL: SQLSTATE and SQLERRM.Neil Conway2005-06-10

They are scope-local variables that are only defined in exception handlers (so attempting to reference them outside an exception handler is an error). Update the regression tests and the documentation. Also, do some minor related cleanup: export an unpack_sql_state() function from the backend and use it to unpack a SQLSTATE into a string, and add a free_var() function to pl_exec.c Original patch from Pavel Stehule, review by Neil Conway.
