* Tighten array dimensionality checks in Perl -> SQL array conversion.Tom Lane2023-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | plperl_array_to_datum() wasn't sufficiently careful about checking that nested lists represent a rectangular array structure; it would accept inputs such as "[1, []]". This is a bit related to the PL/Python bug fixed in commit 81eaaf65e, but it doesn't seem to provide any direct route to a memory stomp. Instead the likely failure mode is for makeMdArrayResult to be passed fewer Datums than the claimed array dimensionality requires, possibly leading to a wild pointer dereference and SIGSEGV. Per report from Alexander Lakhin. It's been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/5ebae5e4-d401-fadf-8585-ac3eaf53219c@gmail.com

* Fix up Perl-to-Postgres datatype conversions in pl/perl.Tom Lane2011-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch restores the pre-9.1 behavior that pl/perl functions returning VOID ignore the result value of their last Perl statement. 9.1.0 unintentionally threw an error if the last statement returned a reference, as reported by Amit Khandekar. Also, make sure it works to return a string value for a composite type, so long as the string meets the type's input format. We already allowed the equivalent behavior for arrays, so it seems inconsistent to not allow it for composites. In addition, ensure we throw errors for attempts to return arrays or hashes when the function's declared result type is not an array or composite type, respectively. Pre-9.1 versions rather uselessly returned strings like ARRAY(0x221a9a0) or HASH(0x221aa90), while 9.1.0 threw an error for the hash case and returned a garbage value for the array case. Also, clean up assorted grotty coding in Perl array conversion, including use of a session-lifespan memory context to accumulate the array value (resulting in session-lifespan memory leak on error), failure to apply the declared typmod if any, and failure to detect some cases of non-rectangular multi-dimensional arrays.

* Convert Postgres arrays to Perl arrays on PL/perl input argumentsAlvaro Herrera2011-02-17
More generally, arrays are turned in Perl array references, and row and composite types are turned into Perl hash references. This is done recursively, in a way that's natural to every Perl programmer. To avoid a backwards compatibility hit, the string representation of each structure is also available if the function requests it. Authors: Alexey Klyukin and Alex Hunsaker. Some code cleanups by me.
