* Fix memory leaks in PL/Python.Tom Lane2015-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, plpython was in the habit of allocating a lot of stuff in TopMemoryContext, and it was very slipshod about making sure that stuff got cleaned up; in particular, use of TopMemoryContext as fn_mcxt for function calls represents an unfixable leak, since we generally don't know what the called function might have allocated in fn_mcxt. This results in session-lifespan leakage in certain usage scenarios, as for example in a case reported by Ed Behn back in July. To fix, get rid of all the retail allocations in TopMemoryContext. All long-lived allocations are now made in sub-contexts that are associated with specific objects (either pl/python procedures, or Python-visible objects such as cursors and plans). We can clean these up when the associated object is deleted. I went so far as to get rid of PLy_malloc completely. There were a couple of places where it could still have been used safely, but on the whole it was just an invitation to bad coding.

* Create a stack of pl/python "execution contexts".Tom Lane2012-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the former global variable PLy_curr_procedure, and provides a place to stash per-call-level information. In particular we create a per-call-level scratch memory context. For the moment, the scratch context is just used to avoid leaking memory from datatype output function calls in PLyDict_FromTuple. There probably will be more use-cases in future. Although this is a fix for a pre-existing memory leakage bug, it seems sufficiently invasive to not want to back-patch; it feels better as part of the major rearrangement of plpython code that we've already done as part of 9.2.

* Split plpython.c into smaller piecesPeter Eisentraut2011-12-18
This moves the code around from one huge file into hopefully logical and more manageable modules. For the most part, the code itself was not touched, except: PLy_function_handler and PLy_trigger_handler were renamed to PLy_exec_function and PLy_exec_trigger, because they were not actually handlers in the PL handler sense, and it makes the naming more similar to the way PL/pgSQL is organized. The initialization of the procedure caches was separated into a new function init_procedure_caches to keep the hash tables private to plpy_procedures.c. Jan Urbański and Peter Eisentraut
