* Convert some extern variables to staticPeter Eisentraut2024-07-02
| | | | | | | | These probably should have been static all along, it was only forgotten out of sloppiness. Reviewed-by: Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de> Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/e0a62134-83da-4ba4-8cdb-ceb0111c95ce@eisentraut.org
* Use extensible buffers to assemble command linesPeter Eisentraut2024-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes use of StringInfo to assemble command lines, instead of using fixed-size buffers and the (remote) possibility of "command too long" errors. Also makes the code a bit simpler. This covers the test driver programs pg_regress and pg_isolation_regress. Similar to the changes done for pg_rewind in a33e17f210.

* Allow pg_regress.c wrappers to postprocess test result files.Tom Lane2021-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an optional callback to regression_main() that, if provided, is invoked on each test output file before we try to compare it to the expected-result file. The main and isolation test programs don't need this (yet). In pg_regress_ecpg, add a filter that eliminates target-host details from "could not connect" error reports. This filter doesn't do anything as of this commit, but it will be needed by the next one. In the long run we might want to provide some more general, perhaps pattern-based, filtering mechanism for test output. For now, this will solve the immediate problem.

* Use setenv() in preference to putenv().Tom Lane2020-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since at least 2001 we've used putenv() and avoided setenv(), on the grounds that the latter was unportable and not in POSIX. However, POSIX added it that same year, and by now the situation has reversed: setenv() is probably more portable than putenv(), since POSIX now treats the latter as not being a core function. And setenv() has cleaner semantics too. So, let's reverse that old policy. This commit adds a simple src/port/ implementation of setenv() for any stragglers (we have one in the buildfarm, but I'd not be surprised if that code is never used in the field). More importantly, extend win32env.c to also support setenv(). Then, replace usages of putenv() with setenv(), and get rid of some ad-hoc implementations of setenv() wannabees. Also, adjust our src/port/ implementation of unsetenv() to follow the POSIX spec that it returns an error indicator, rather than returning void as per the ancient BSD convention. I don't feel a need to make all the call sites check for errors, but the portability stub ought to match real-world practice. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2065122.1609212051@sss.pgh.pa.us

| | | | | | | Commit a4327296d taught pg_regress proper to do this, but missed the opportunity to do likewise in the isolationtester and ecpg variants of pg_regress. Seems like this might be helpful for tracking down issues exposed by those tests.

* Clean up assorted misuses of snprintf()'s result value.Tom Lane2018-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a small number of places that were testing the result of snprintf() but doing so incorrectly. The right test for buffer overrun, per C99, is "result >= bufsize" not "result > bufsize". Some places were also checking for failure with "result == -1", but the standard only says that a negative value is delivered on failure. (Note that this only makes these places correct if snprintf() delivers C99-compliant results. But at least now these places are consistent with all the other places where we assume that.) Also, make psql_start_test() and isolation_start_test() check for buffer overrun while constructing their shell commands. There seems like a higher risk of overrun, with more severe consequences, here than there is for the individual file paths that are made elsewhere in the same functions, so this seemed like a worthwhile change. Also fix guc.c's do_serialize() to initialize errno = 0 before calling vsnprintf. In principle, this should be unnecessary because vsnprintf should have set errno if it returns a failure indication ... but the other two places this coding pattern is cribbed from don't assume that, so let's be consistent. These errors are all very old, so back-patch as appropriate. I think that only the shell command overrun cases are even theoretically reachable in practice, but there's not much point in erroneous error checks.

* Fix inclusions of postgres_fe.h from .h files.Tom Lane2017-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | We have a project policy that every .c file should start by including postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h as appropriate; and then there is no need for any .h file to explicitly include any of these. Fix a few headers that were violating this policy by including postgres_fe.h.

* Establish conventions about global object names used in regression tests.Tom Lane2016-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To ensure that "make installcheck" can be used safely against an existing installation, we need to be careful about what global object names (database, role, and tablespace names) we use; otherwise we might accidentally clobber important objects. There's been a weak consensus that test databases should have names including "regression", and that test role names should start with "regress_", but we didn't have any particular rule about tablespace names; and neither of the other rules was followed with any consistency either. This commit moves us a long way towards having a hard-and-fast rule that regression test databases must have names including "regression", and that test role and tablespace names must start with "regress_". It's not completely there because I did not touch some test cases in rolenames.sql that test creation of special role names like "session_user". That will require some rethinking of exactly what we want to test, whereas the intent of this patch is just to hit all the cases in which the needed renamings are cosmetic. There is no enforcement mechanism in this patch either, but if we don't add one we can expect that the tests will soon be violating the convention again. Again, that's not such a cosmetic change and it will require discussion. (But I did use a quick-hack enforcement patch to find these cases.) Discussion: <16638.1468620817@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Replace SYSTEMQUOTEs with Windows-specific wrapper functions.Heikki Linnakangas2014-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's easy to forget using SYSTEMQUOTEs when constructing command strings for system() or popen(). Even if we fix all the places missing it now, it is bound to be forgotten again in the future. Introduce wrapper functions that do the the extra quoting for you, and get rid of SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the callers. We previosly used SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the hard-coded command strings, and this doesn't change the behavior of those. But user-supplied commands, like archive_command, restore_command, COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM calls, as well as pgbench's \shell, will now gain an extra pair of quotes. That is desirable, but if you have existing scripts or config files that include an extra pair of quotes, those might need to be adjusted. Reviewed by Amit Kapila and Tom Lane

* Fix buffer overrun in isolation test program.Kevin Grittner2013-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 061b88c732952c59741374806e1e41c1ec845d50 saved argv0 to a global buffer without ensuring that it was zero terminated, allowing references to it to overrun the buffer and access other memory. This probably would not have presented any security risk, but could have resulted in very confusing failures if the path to the executable was very long. Reported by David Rowley

* Implement genuine serializable isolation level.Heikki Linnakangas2011-02-08
Until now, our Serializable mode has in fact been what's called Snapshot Isolation, which allows some anomalies that could not occur in any serialized ordering of the transactions. This patch fixes that using a method called Serializable Snapshot Isolation, based on research papers by Michael J. Cahill (see README-SSI for full references). In Serializable Snapshot Isolation, transactions run like they do in Snapshot Isolation, but a predicate lock manager observes the reads and writes performed and aborts transactions if it detects that an anomaly might occur. This method produces some false positives, ie. it sometimes aborts transactions even though there is no anomaly. To track reads we implement predicate locking, see storage/lmgr/predicate.c. Whenever a tuple is read, a predicate lock is acquired on the tuple. Shared memory is finite, so when a transaction takes many tuple-level locks on a page, the locks are promoted to a single page-level lock, and further to a single relation level lock if necessary. To lock key values with no matching tuple, a sequential scan always takes a relation-level lock, and an index scan acquires a page-level lock that covers the search key, whether or not there are any matching keys at the moment. A predicate lock doesn't conflict with any regular locks or with another predicate locks in the normal sense. They're only used by the predicate lock manager to detect the danger of anomalies. Only serializable transactions participate in predicate locking, so there should be no extra overhead for for other transactions. Predicate locks can't be released at commit, but must be remembered until all the transactions that overlapped with it have completed. That means that we need to remember an unbounded amount of predicate locks, so we apply a lossy but conservative method of tracking locks for committed transactions. If we run short of shared memory, we overflow to a new "pg_serial" SLRU pool. We don't currently allow Serializable transactions in Hot Standby mode. That would be hard, because even read-only transactions can cause anomalies that wouldn't otherwise occur. Serializable isolation mode now means the new fully serializable level. Repeatable Read gives you the old Snapshot Isolation level that we have always had. Kevin Grittner and Dan Ports, reviewed by Jeff Davis, Heikki Linnakangas and Anssi Kääriäinen
