* ecpg: put all string-valued tokens returned by pgc.l in local storage.Tom Lane2024-11-27
| | | | | | | | | This didn't work earlier in the patch series (I think some of the strings were ending up in data-type-related structures), but apparently we're now clean enough for it. This considerably reduces process-lifespan memory leakage. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2011420.1713493114@sss.pgh.pa.us
* ecpg: improve preprocessor's memory management.Tom Lane2024-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Invent a notion of "local" storage that will automatically be reclaimed at the end of each statement. Use this for location strings as well as other visibly short-lived data within the parser. Also, make cat_str and make_str return local storage and not free their inputs, which allows dispensing with a whole lot of retail mm_strdup calls. We do have to add some new ones in places where a local-lifetime string needs to be added to a longer-lived data structure, but on balance there are a lot less mm_strdup calls than before. In hopes of flushing out places where changes were necessary, I changed YYLTYPE from "char *" to "const char *", which forced const-ification of various function arguments that probably should've been like that all along. This still leaks somewhat more memory than v17, but that will be cleaned up in future commits. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2011420.1713493114@sss.pgh.pa.us
* ecpg: re-implement preprocessor's string management.Tom Lane2024-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most productions in the preprocessor grammar construct strings representing SQL or C statements or fragments thereof. Instead of returning these as <str> results of the productions, return them as "location" values, taking advantage of Bison's flexibility about what a location is. We aren't really giving up anything thereby, since ecpg's error reports have always just given line numbers, and that's tracked separately. The advantage of this is that a single instance of the YYLLOC_DEFAULT macro can perform all the work needed by the vast majority of productions, including all the ones made automatically by parse.pl. This avoids having large numbers of effectively-identical productions, which tickles an optimization inefficiency in recent versions of clang. (This patch reduces the compilation time for preproc.o by more than 100-fold with clang 16, and is visibly helpful with gcc too.) The compiled parser is noticeably smaller as well. A disadvantage of this approach is that YYLLOC_DEFAULT is applied before running the production's semantic action (if any). This means it cannot use the method favored by cat_str() of free'ing all the input strings; if the action needs to look at the input strings, it'd be looking at dangling storage. As this stands, therefore, it leaks memory like a sieve. This is already a big patch though, and fixing the memory management seems like a separable problem, so let's leave that for the next step. (This does remove some free() calls that I'd have had to touch anyway, in the expectation that the next step will manage memory reclamation quite differently.) Most of the changes here are mindless substitution of "@N" for "$N" in grammar rules; see the changes to README.parser for an explanation.

* Code review for recent SQL/JSON commitsAlvaro Herrera2023-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - At the last minute and for no particularly good reason, I changed the WITHOUT token to be marked especially for lookahead, from the one in WITHOUT TIME to the one in WITHOUT UNIQUE. Study of upcoming patches (where a new WITHOUT ARRAY WRAPPER clause is added) showed me that the former was better, so put it back the way the original patch had it. - update exprTypmod() for JsonConstructorExpr to return the typmod of the RETURNING clause, as a comment there suggested. Perhaps it's possible for this to make a difference with datetime types, but I didn't try to build a test case. - The nodeFuncs.c support code for new nodes was calling walker() directly instead of the WALK() macro as introduced by commit 1c27d16e6e5c. Modernize that. Also add exprLocation() support for a couple of nodes that missed it. Lastly, reorder the code more sensibly. The WITHOUT_LA -> WITHOUT change means that stored rules containing either WITHOUT TIME ZONE or WITHOUT UNIQUE KEYS would change representation. Therefore, bump catversion.

* SQL/JSON: add standard JSON constructor functionsAlvaro Herrera2023-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit introduces the SQL/JSON standard-conforming constructors for JSON types: JSON_ARRAY() JSON_ARRAYAGG() JSON_OBJECT() JSON_OBJECTAGG() Most of the functionality was already present in PostgreSQL-specific functions, but these include some new functionality such as the ability to skip or include NULL values, and to allow duplicate keys or throw error when they are found, as well as the standard specified syntax to specify output type and format.

* SQL/JSON constructorsAndrew Dunstan2022-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces the SQL/JSON standard constructors for JSON: JSON() JSON_ARRAY() JSON_ARRAYAGG() JSON_OBJECT() JSON_OBJECTAGG() For the most part these functions provide facilities that mimic existing json/jsonb functions. However, they also offer some useful additional functionality. In addition to text input, the JSON() function accepts bytea input, which it will decode and constuct a json value from. The other functions provide useful options for handling duplicate keys and null values. This series of patches will be followed by a consolidated documentation patch.

* Reduce size of backend scanner's tables.Tom Lane2020-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the core scanner's yy_transition[] array had 37045 elements. Since that number is larger than INT16_MAX, Flex generated the array to contain 32-bit integers. By reimplementing some of the bulkier scanner rules, this patch reduces the array to 20495 elements. The much smaller total length, combined with the consequent use of 16-bit integers for the array elements reduces the binary size by over 200kB. This was accomplished in two ways: 1. Consolidate handling of quote continuations into a new start condition, rather than duplicating that logic for five different string types. 2. Treat Unicode strings and identifiers followed by a UESCAPE sequence as three separate tokens, rather than one. The logic to de-escape Unicode strings is moved to the filter code in parser.c, which already had the ability to provide special processing for token sequences. While we could have implemented the conversion in the grammar, that approach was rejected for performance and maintainability reasons. Performance in microbenchmarks of raw parsing seems equal or slightly faster in most cases, and it's reasonable to expect that in real-world usage (with more competition for the CPU cache) there will be a larger win. The exception is UESCAPE sequences; lexing those is about 10% slower, primarily because the scanner now has to be called three times rather than one. This seems acceptable since that feature is very rarely used. The psql and epcg lexers are likewise modified, primarily because we want to keep them all in sync. Since those lexers don't use the space-hogging -CF option, the space savings is much less, but it's still good for perhaps 10kB apiece. While at it, merge the ecpg lexer's handling of C-style comments used in SQL and in C. Those have different rules regarding nested comments, but since we already have the ability to keep track of the previous start condition, we can use that to handle both cases within a single start condition. This matches the core scanner more closely. John Naylor Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACPNZCvaoa3EgVWm5yZhcSTX6RAtaLgniCPcBVOCwm8h3xpWkw@mail.gmail.com

| | | | | | | | | | | This should reduce confusion, and in particular make it safe to copy typename.c into preproc/ and compile it there. This doesn't affect anything outside ecpg, and particularly not end users, because these files don't get installed; they just exist to share declarations among the .c files of each subdirectory.

* Use "%option prefix" to set API names in ecpg's lexer.Tom Lane2016-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up some technical debt left behind by commit 72b1e3a21: instead of quickly hacking the name of base_yylex() with a #define, set it properly with "%option prefix". This causes the names of pgc.l's other exported symbols to change as well, so run around and modify the outside references to them as needed. Similarly, make pgc.l's external references to base_yylval use that variable's true name instead of a macro. The reason for doing this now is that the quick-hack solution will fail with future versions of flex, as reported by Дилян Палаузов. Hence, back-patch into 9.6 where the previous commit appeared, since it's likely people will build 9.6 with newer flex versions during its lifetime.

* Make operator precedence follow the SQL standard more closely.Tom Lane2015-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the SQL standard is pretty vague on the overall topic of operator precedence (because it never presents a unified BNF for all expressions), it does seem reasonable to conclude from the spec for <boolean value expression> that OR has the lowest precedence, then AND, then NOT, then IS tests, then the six standard comparison operators, then everything else (since any non-boolean operator in a WHERE clause would need to be an argument of one of these). We were only sort of on board with that: most notably, while "<" ">" and "=" had properly low precedence, "<=" ">=" and "<>" were treated as generic operators and so had significantly higher precedence. And "IS" tests were even higher precedence than those, which is very clearly wrong per spec. Another problem was that "foo NOT SOMETHING bar" constructs, such as "x NOT LIKE y", were treated inconsistently because of a bison implementation artifact: they had the documented precedence with respect to operators to their right, but behaved like NOT (i.e., very low priority) with respect to operators to their left. Fixing the precedence issues is just a small matter of rearranging the precedence declarations in gram.y, except for the NOT problem, which requires adding an additional lookahead case in base_yylex() so that we can attach a different token precedence to NOT LIKE and allied two-word operators. The bulk of this patch is not the bug fix per se, but adding logic to parse_expr.c to allow giving warnings if an expression has changed meaning because of these precedence changes. These warnings are off by default and are enabled by the new GUC operator_precedence_warning. It's believed that very few applications will be affected by these changes, but it was agreed that a warning mechanism is essential to help debug any that are.
* Improve parser's one-extra-token lookahead mechanism.Tom Lane2015-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a couple of places in our grammar that fail to be strict LALR(1), by requiring more than a single token of lookahead to decide what to do. Up to now we've dealt with that by using a filter between the lexer and parser that merges adjacent tokens into one in the places where two tokens of lookahead are necessary. But that creates a number of user-visible anomalies, for instance that you can't name a CTE "ordinality" because "WITH ordinality AS ..." triggers folding of WITH and ORDINALITY into one token. I realized that there's a better way. In this patch, we still do the lookahead basically as before, but we never merge the second token into the first; we replace just the first token by a special lookahead symbol when one of the lookahead pairs is seen. This requires a couple extra productions in the grammar, but it involves fewer special tokens, so that the grammar tables come out a bit smaller than before. The filter logic is no slower than before, perhaps a bit faster. I also fixed the filter logic so that when backing up after a lookahead, the current token's terminator is correctly restored; this eliminates some weird behavior in error message issuance, as is shown by the one change in existing regression test outputs. I believe that this patch entirely eliminates odd behaviors caused by lookahead for WITH. It doesn't really improve the situation for NULLS followed by FIRST/LAST unfortunately: those sequences still act like a reserved word, even though there are cases where they should be seen as two ordinary identifiers, eg "SELECT nulls first FROM ...". I experimented with additional grammar hacks but couldn't find any simple solution for that. Still, this is better than before, and it seems much more likely that we *could* somehow solve the NULLS case on the basis of this filter behavior than the previous one.
