Commit 232d8caea fixed a case where postgres_fdw could lose track
of a PGresult object, resulting in a process-lifespan memory leak.
But I have little faith that there aren't other potential PGresult
leakages, now or in future, in the backend modules that use libpq.
Therefore, this patch proposes infrastructure that makes all
PGresults returned from libpq act as though they are palloc'd
in the CurrentMemoryContext (with the option to relocate them to
another context later). This should greatly reduce the risk of
careless leaks, and it also permits removal of a bunch of code
that attempted to prevent such leaks via PG_TRY blocks.
This patch adds infrastructure that wraps each PGresult in a
"libpqsrv_PGresult" that provides a memory context reset callback
to PQclear the PGresult. Code using this abstraction is inherently
memory-safe to the same extent as we are accustomed to in most backend
code. Furthermore, we add some macros that automatically redirect
calls of the libpq functions concerned with PGresults to use this
infrastructure, so that almost no source-code changes are needed to
wheel this infrastructure into place in all the backend code that
uses libpq.
Perhaps in future we could create similar infrastructure for
PGconn objects, but there seems less need for that.
This patch just creates the infrastructure and makes relevant code
use it, including reverting 232d8caea in favor of this mechanism.
A good deal of follow-on simplification is possible now that we don't
have to be so cautious about freeing PGresults, but I'll put that in
a separate patch.

When pg_nodiscard was first added, the C standard draft had it as a
function specifier, and so the code comment about placement was
written with that in mind. The final C23 standard has it as an
attribute and the placement rules are a bit different for that.
Specifically, it needs to be before extern or static. (Or at least
both current clang and gcc require that.) So just swap these. (To be
clear: The current implementation with gcc attributes doesn't care.
This change is just for maximum forward compatibility for non-gcc
compilers.) This also keeps the order consistent with the previously
introduced pg_noreturn. Also update the code comment to reflect the
mentioned developments since its introduction.

- Remove MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(). It was supposed to be a
faster version of MemoryContextAllocZero(), but modern compilers turn
the MemSetLoop() into a call to memset() anyway, making it more or
less identical to MemoryContextAllocZero(). That was the only user of
MemSetTest, MemSetLoop, so remove those too, as well as palloc0fast().
- Convert newNode() to a static inline function. When this was
originally originally written, it was written as a macro because
testing showed that gcc didn't inline the size check as we
intended. Modern compiler versions do, and now that it just calls
palloc0() there is no size-check to inline anyway.
One nice effect is that the palloc0() takes one less argument than
MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(), which saves a few instructions in the
callers of newNode().

This introduces palloc_aligned() and MemoryContextAllocAligned() which
allow callers to obtain memory which is allocated to the given size and
also aligned to the specified alignment boundary. The alignment
boundaries may be any power-of-2 value. Currently, the alignment is
capped at 2^26, however, we don't expect values anything like that large.
The primary expected use case is to align allocations to perhaps CPU
cache line size or to maybe I/O page size. Certain use cases can benefit
from having aligned memory by either having better performance or more
predictable performance.
The alignment is achieved by requesting 'alignto' additional bytes from
the underlying allocator function and then aligning the address that is
returned to the requested alignment. This obviously does waste some
memory, so alignments should be kept as small as what is required.
It's also important to note that these alignment bytes eat into the
maximum allocation size. So something like:
palloc_aligned(MaxAllocSize, 64, 0);
will not work as we cannot request MaxAllocSize + 64 bytes.
Additionally, because we're just requesting the requested size plus the
alignment requirements from the given MemoryContext, if that context is
the Slab allocator, then since slab can only provide chunks of the size
that's specified when the slab context is created, then this is not going
to work. Slab will generate an error to indicate that the requested size
is not supported.
The alignment that is requested in palloc_aligned() is stored along with
the allocated memory. This allows the alignment to remain intact through
repalloc() calls.

We lack a version of repalloc() that supports MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM
semantics, so invent repalloc_extended() with the usual set of
flags. repalloc_huge() becomes a legacy wrapper for that.
Also, fix dynahash.c so that it can support HASH_ENTER_NULL
requests when using the default palloc-based allocator.
The only reason it didn't do that already was the lack of the
MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM option when that code was written, ages ago.
While here, simplify a few overcomplicated tests in mcxt.c.

This adds additional variants of palloc, pg_malloc, etc. that
encapsulate common usage patterns and provide more type safety.
Specifically, this adds palloc_object(), palloc_array(), and
repalloc_array(), which take the type name of the object to be
allocated as its first argument and cast the return as a pointer to
that type. There are also palloc0_object() and palloc0_array()
variants for initializing with zero, and pg_malloc_*() variants of all
of the above.
Inspired by the talloc library.

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.

PQerrorMessage() returns an error message with a trailing newline, but
in backend use (dblink, postgres_fdw, libpqwalreceiver), we want to have
the error message without that for emitting via ereport(). To simplify
that, add a function pchomp() that returns a pstrdup'ed string with the
trailing newline characters removed.

So far we have worked around the fact that some very old compilers do
not support 'inline' functions by only using inline functions
conditionally (or not at all). Since such compilers are very rare by
now, we have decided to rely on inline functions from 9.6 onwards.
To avoid breaking these old compilers inline is defined away when not
supported. That'll cause "function x defined but not used" type of
warnings, but since nobody develops on such compilers anymore that's
ok.
This change in policy will allow us to more easily employ inline
functions.
I chose to remove code previously conditional on PG_USE_INLINE as it
seemed confusing to have code dependent on a define that's always
defined.
Blacklisting of compilers, like in c53f73879f, now has to be done
differently. A platform template can define PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE to
force inline to be defined empty.

This commit also adds pg_malloc_extended for frontend. These interfaces
can be used to control at a lower level memory allocation using an interface
similar to MemoryContextAllocExtended. For example, the callers can specify
MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM if they want to suppress the "out of memory" error while
allocating the memory and handle a NULL return value.

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.

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...

Initial experience with this feature suggests that instances of
MemoryContextCallback are likely to propagate into some widely-used headers
over time. As things stood, that would result in pulling memutils.h or
at least memnodes.h into common headers, which does not seem desirable.
Instead, let's decide that this feature is part of the "ordinary palloc
user" API rather than the "specialized context management" API, and as
such should be declared in palloc.h not memutils.h.

pg_controldata includes postgres.h not postgres_fe.h, so utils/palloc.h
must be able to compile in a "#define FRONTEND" context. It appears that
Solaris Studio is smart enough to persuade us to define PG_USE_INLINE,
but not smart enough to not make a copy of unreferenced static functions;
which leads to an unsatisfied reference to CurrentMemoryContext. So we
need an #ifndef FRONTEND around that declaration. Per buildfarm.

This breaks the principle that common/ ought not depend on anything in the
server, not only code-wise but in the headers. The only arguable advantage
is avoidance of duplication of half a dozen extern declarations, and even
that is rather dubious, considering that the previous coding was wrong
about which declarations to duplicate: it exposed pnstrdup() to frontend
code even though no such function is provided in fe_memutils.c.
On the same principle, don't #include utils/memutils.h in the frontend
build of psprintf.c. This requires duplicating the definition of
MaxAllocSize, but that seems fine to me: there's no a-priori reason why
frontend code should use the same size limit as the backend anyway.
In passing, clean up some rather odd layout and ordering choices that
were imposed on palloc.h to reduce the number of #ifdefs required by
the previous approach.
Per gripe from Christoph Berg. There's still more work to do to make
include/common/ clean, but this part seems reasonably noncontroversial.

When we are using a C99-compliant vsnprintf implementation (which should be
most places, these days) it is worth the trouble to make use of its report
of how large the buffer needs to be to succeed. This patch adjusts
stringinfo.c and some miscellaneous usages in pg_dump to do that, relying
on the logic recently added in libpgcommon's psprintf.c. Since these
places want to know the number of bytes written once we succeed, modify the
API of pvsnprintf() to report that.
There remains near-duplicate logic in pqexpbuffer.c, but since that code
is in libpq, psprintf.c's approach of exit()-on-error isn't appropriate
for use there. Also note that I didn't bother touching the multitude
of places that call (v)snprintf without any attempt to provide a resizable
buffer.
Release-note-worthy incompatibility: the API of appendStringInfoVA()
changed. If there's any third-party code that's calling that directly,
it will need tweaking along the same lines as in this patch.

asprintf(), aside from not being particularly portable, has a fundamentally
badly-designed API; the psprintf() function that was added in passing in
the previous patch has a much better API choice. Moreover, the NetBSD
implementation that was borrowed for the previous patch doesn't work with
non-C99-compliant vsnprintf, which is something we still have to cope with
on some platforms; and it depends on va_copy which isn't all that portable
either. Get rid of that code in favor of an implementation similar to what
we've used for many years in stringinfo.c. Also, move it into libpgcommon
since it's not really libpgport material.
I think this patch will be enough to turn the buildfarm green again, but
there's still cosmetic work left to do, namely get rid of pg_asprintf()
in favor of using psprintf(). That will come in a followon patch.

The MaxAllocSize guard is convenient for most callers, because it
reduces the need for careful attention to overflow, data type selection,
and the SET_VARSIZE() limit. A handful of callers are happy to navigate
those hazards in exchange for the ability to allocate a larger chunk.
Introduce MemoryContextAllocHuge() and repalloc_huge(). Use this in

tuples, a factor-of-48 increase. In particular, B-tree index builds can

libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.
Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
