* Fix PL/Python for recursion and interleaved set-returning functions.Tom Lane2016-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PL/Python failed if a PL/Python function was invoked recursively via SPI, since arguments are passed to the function in its global dictionary (a horrible decision that's far too ancient to undo) and it would delete those dictionary entries on function exit, leaving the outer recursion level(s) without any arguments. Not deleting them would be little better, since the outer levels would then see the innermost level's arguments. Since PL/Python uses ValuePerCall mode for evaluating set-returning functions, it's possible for multiple executions of the same SRF to be interleaved within a query. PL/Python failed in such a case, because it stored only one iterator per function, directly in the function's PLyProcedure struct. Moreover, one interleaved instance of the SRF would see argument values that should belong to another. Hence, invent code for saving and restoring the argument entries. To fix the recursion case, we only need to save at recursive entry and restore at recursive exit, so the overhead in non-recursive cases is negligible. To fix the SRF case, we have to save when suspending a SRF and restore when resuming it, which is potentially not negligible; but fortunately this is mostly a matter of manipulating Python object refcounts and should not involve much physical data copying. Also, store the Python iterator and saved argument values in a structure associated with the SRF call site rather than the function itself. This requires adding a memory context deletion callback to ensure that the SRF state is cleaned up if the calling query exits before running the SRF to completion. Without that we'd leak a refcount to the iterator object in such a case, resulting in session-lifespan memory leakage. (In the pre-existing code, there was no memory leak because there was only one iterator pointer, but what would happen is that the previous iterator would be resumed by the next query attempting to use the SRF. Hardly the semantics we want.) We can buy back some of whatever overhead we've added by getting rid of PLy_function_delete_args(), which seems a useless activity: there is no need to delete argument entries from the global dictionary on exit, since the next time anyone would see the global dict is on the next fresh call of the PL/Python function, at which time we'd overwrite those entries with new arg values anyway. Also clean up some really ugly coding in the SRF implementation, including such gems as returning directly out of a PG_TRY block. (The only reason that failed to crash hard was that all existing call sites immediately exited their own PG_TRY blocks, popping the dangling longjmp pointer before there was any chance of it being used.) In principle this is a bug fix; but it seems a bit too invasive relative to its value for a back-patch, and besides the fix depends on memory context callbacks so it could not go back further than 9.5 anyway.

* Add a regression test case for plpython function returning setof RECORD.Tom Lane2013-12-11
| | | | | | | We had coverage for functions returning setof a named composite type, but not for anonymous records, which is a somewhat different code path. In view of recent crash report from Sergey Konoplev, this seems worth testing, though I doubt there's any deterministic bug here today.
* PL/Python: Fix crash in functions returning SETOF and using SPIPeter Eisentraut2012-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | Allocate PLyResultObject.tupdesc in TopMemoryContext, because its lifetime is the lifetime of the Python object and it shouldn't be freed by some other memory context, such as one controlled by SPI. We trust that the Python object will clean up its own memory. Before, this would crash the included regression test case by trying to use memory that was already freed. reported by Asif Naeem, analysis by Tom Lane
* Fix aboriginal mistake in plpython's set-returning-function support.Tom Lane2010-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | We must stay in the function's SPI context until done calling the iterator that returns the set result. Otherwise, any attempt to invoke SPI features in the python code called by the iterator will malfunction. Diagnosis and patch by Jan Urbanski, per bug report from Jean-Baptiste Quenot. Back-patch to 8.2; there was no support for SRFs in previous versions of plpython.
* Make PL/Python tests more compatible with Python 3Peter Eisentraut2009-08-24
| | | | | | This changes a bunch of incidentially used constructs in the PL/Python regression tests to equivalent constructs in cases where Python 3 no longer supports the old syntax. Support for older Python versions is unchanged.
* Augment test coverage in PL/Python, especially for error conditions.Peter Eisentraut2009-08-13

* Split the plpython regression test into test cases arranged by topic, insteadPeter Eisentraut2009-08-12

* Back out patch. This should be done like other server-side languages.Bruce Momjian2005-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch allows the PL/Python module to do (SRF) functions. The patch was taken from the CVS version. I have modified the plpython.c file and have added a test sql script for testing the functionality. It was actually the script that was in the 8.0.3 version but have since been removed. In order to signal the end of a set, the called python function must simply return plpy.EndOfSet and the set would be returned. Gerrit van Dyk
