2021-11-01Replace unicode characters in comments with asciiDaniel Gustafsson
The unicode characters, while in comments and not code, caused MSVC to emit compiler warning C4819: The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (number). Save the file in Unicode format to prevent data loss. Fix by replacing the characters in print.c with descriptive comments containing the codepoints and symbol names, and remove the character in brin_bloom.c which was a footnote reference copied from the paper citation. Per report from hamerkop in the buildfarm. Reviewed-by: Tom Lane <[email protected]> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]
2021-06-07Fix incautious handling of possibly-miscoded strings in client code.Tom Lane
An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string could cause various processing loops to run past the string's terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following memory. This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of its input. Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command. (If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313. To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string. In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is. It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though, so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling this issue.) Per private report from houjingyi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
2021-03-29psql: call clearerr() just before printingAlvaro Herrera
We were never doing clearerr() on the output stream, which results in a message being printed after each result once an EOF is seen: could not print result table: Success This message was added by commit b03436994bcc (in the pg13 era); before that, the error indicator would never be examined. So backpatch only that far back, even though the actual bug (to wit: the fact that the error indicator is never cleared) is older.

2020-10-29Don't use custom OID symbols in pg_type.dat, either.Tom Lane
On the same reasoning as in commit 36b931214, forbid using custom oid_symbol macros in pg_type as well as pg_proc, so that we always rely on the predictable macro names generated by genbki.pl. We do continue to grant grandfather status to the names CASHOID and LSNOID, although those are now considered deprecated aliases for the preferred names MONEYOID and PG_LSNOID. This is because there's likely to be client-side code using the old names, and this bout of neatnik-ism doesn't quite seem worth breaking client code. There might be a case for grandfathering EVTTRIGGEROID, too, since externally-maintained PLs may reference that symbol. But renaming such references to EVENT_TRIGGEROID doesn't seem like a particularly heavy lift --- we make far more significant backend API changes in every major release. For now I didn't add that, but we could reconsider if there's pushback. The other names changed here seem pretty unlikely to have any outside uses. Again, we could add alias macros if there are complaints, but for now I didn't. As before, no need for a catversion bump.

2020-06-29Mop up some no-longer-necessary hacks around printf %.*s format.Tom Lane
Commit 54cd4f045 added some kluges to work around an old glibc bug, namely that %.*s could misbehave if glibc thought any characters in the supplied string were incorrectly encoded. Now that we use our own snprintf.c implementation, we need not worry about that bug (even if it still exists in the wild). Revert a couple of particularly ugly hacks, and remove or improve assorted comments. Note that there can still be encoding-related hazards here: blindly clipping at a fixed length risks producing wrongly-encoded output if the clip splits a multibyte character. However, code that's doing correct multibyte-aware clipping doesn't really need a comment about that, while code that isn't needs an explanation why not, rather than a red-herring comment about an obsolete bug.

2019-12-17Fix query cancellation handling in psqlMichael Paquier
The refactoring done in a4fd3aa for query cancellation has messed up with the logic in psql by mixing CancelRequested and cancel_pressed, breaking for example \watch. The former would be switched to true if a cancellation request has been attempted and that it actually succeeded, and the latter tracks if a cancellation attempt has been done. This commit brings back the code of psql to a state consistent to what it was before a4fd3aa, without giving up on the refactoring pieces introduced. It should be actually possible to merge more both flags as their concepts are close enough, however note that psql's --single-step mode relies on cancel_pressed to be always set, so this requires more careful analysis left for later. While on it, fix the declarations of CancelRequested (in cancel.c) and cancel_pressed (in psql) to be volatile sig_atomic_t. Previously, both were declared as booleans, which should be fine on modern platforms, but the C standard recommends the use of sig_atomic_t for variables used in signal handlers. Note that since its introduction in a1792320, CancelRequested declaration was not volatile.

2018-11-26Fix translation of special characters in psql's LaTeX output modes.Tom Lane
latex_escaped_print() mistranslated \ and failed to provide any translation for # ^ and ~, all of which would typically lead to LaTeX document syntax errors. In addition it didn't translate < > and |, which would typically render as unexpected characters. To some extent this represents shortcomings in ancient versions of LaTeX, which if memory serves had no easy way to render these control characters as ASCII text. But that's been fixed for, um, decades. In any case there is no value in emitting guaranteed-to-fail output for these characters. Noted while fooling with test cases added by commit 9a98984f4. Back-patch the code change to all supported versions.
2018-11-26Add CSV table output mode in psql.Tom Lane
"\pset format csv", or --csv, selects comma-separated values table format. This is compliant with RFC 4180, except that we aren't too picky about whether the record separator is LF or CRLF; also, the user may choose a field separator other than comma. This output format is directly compatible with the server's COPY CSV format, and will also be useful as input to other programs. It's considerably safer for that purpose than the old recommendation to use "unaligned" format, since the latter couldn't handle data containing the field separator character.

Remove src/interfaces/ecpg/ecpglib/pg_type.h entirely, as the previous commit reduced it to a confusingly-named wrapper around pg_type_d.h.

2017-09-05In psql, use PSQL_PAGER in preference to PAGER, if it's set.Tom Lane

2017-06-21Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-06-21Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-06-21Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane
The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

2017-02-25Remove useless duplicate inclusions of system header files.Tom Lane
c.h #includes a number of core libc header files, such as <stdio.h>. There's no point in re-including these after having read postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h; so remove code that did so. While at it, also fix some places that were ignoring our standard pattern of "include postgres[_fe].h, then system header files, then other Postgres header files". While there's not any great magic in doing it that way rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this globally, only in files I was touching anyway.) I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism, but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.

2016-12-07Restore psql's SIGPIPE setting if popen() fails.Tom Lane
Ancient oversight in PageOutput(): if popen() fails, we'd better reset the SIGPIPE handler before returning stdout, because ClosePager() won't. Noticed while fixing the empty-PAGER issue.
2016-12-07Handle empty or all-blank PAGER setting more sanely in psql.Tom Lane
If the PAGER environment variable is set but contains an empty string, psql would pass it to "sh" which would silently exit, causing whatever query output we were printing to vanish entirely. This is quite mystifying; it took a long time for us to figure out that this was the cause of Joseph Brenner's trouble report. Rather than allowing that to happen, we should treat this as another way to specify "no pager". (We could alternatively treat it as selecting the default pager, but it seems more likely that the former is what the user meant to achieve by setting PAGER this way.) Nonempty, but all-white-space, PAGER values have the same behavior, and it's pretty easy to test for that, so let's handle that case the same way. Most other cases of faulty PAGER values will result in the shell printing some kind of complaint to stderr, which should be enough to diagnose the problem, so we don't need to work harder than this. (Note that there's been an intentional decision not to be very chatty about apparent failure returns from the pager process, since that may happen if, eg, the user quits the pager with control-C or some such. I'd just as soon not start splitting hairs about which exit codes might merit making our own report.) libpq's old PQprint() function was already on board with ignoring empty PAGER values, but for consistency, make it ignore all-white-space values as well. It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2016-04-08Support \crosstabview in psqlAlvaro Herrera
\crosstabview is a completely different way to display results from a query: instead of a vertical display of rows, the data values are placed in a grid where the column and row headers come from the data itself, similar to a spreadsheet. The sort order of the horizontal header can be specified by using another column in the query, and the vertical header determines its ordering from the order in which they appear in the query. This only allows displaying a single value in each cell. If more than one value correspond to the same cell, an error is thrown. Merging of values can be done in the query itself, if necessary. This may be revisited in the future. Author: Daniel Verité Reviewed-by: Pavel Stehule, Dean Rasheed
