31 hoursdowncase_identifier(): use method table from locale provider.Jeff Davis
Previously, libc's tolower() was always used for lowercasing identifiers, regardless of the database locale (though only characters beyond 127 in single-byte encodings were affected). Refactor to allow each provider to supply its own implementation of identifier downcasing. For historical compatibility, when using a single-byte encoding, ICU still relies on tolower(). One minor behavior change is that, before the database default locale is initialized, it uses ASCII semantics to downcase the identifiers. Previously, it would use the postmaster's LC_CTYPE setting from the environment. While that could have some effect during GUC processing, for example, it would have been fragile to rely on the environment setting anyway. (Also, it only matters when the encoding is single-byte.)

13 daysFix some cases of indirectly casting away const.Tom Lane
Newest versions of gcc are able to detect cases where code implicitly casts away const by assigning the result of strchr() or a similar function applied to a "const char *" value to a target variable that's just "char *". This of course creates a hazard of not getting a compiler warning about scribbling on a string one was not supposed to, so fixing up such cases is good. This patch fixes a dozen or so places where we were doing that. Most are trivial additions of "const" to the target variable, since no actually-hazardous change was occurring. There is one place in ecpg.trailer where we were indeed violating the intention of not modifying a string passed in as "const char *". I believe that's harmless not a live bug, but let's fix it by copying the string before modifying it. There is a remaining trouble spot in ecpg/preproc/variable.c, which requires more complex surgery. I've left that out of this commit because I want to study that code a bit more first. We probably will want to back-patch this once compilers that detect this pattern get into wider circulation, but for now I'm just going to apply it to master to see what the buildfarm says. Thanks to Bertrand Drouvot for finding a couple more spots than I had.

Commit 0bada39c83a150079567a6e97b1a25a198f30ea3 fixed a bug of this kind, which existed in all branches for six days before detection. While the probability of reaching the trouble was low, the disruption was extreme. No new backends could start, and service restoration needed an immediate shutdown. Hence, add this to catch the next bug like it. The new check in RelationIdGetRelation() suffices to make autovacuum detect the bug in commit 243e9b40f1b2dd09d6e5bf91ebf6e822a2cd3704 that led to commit 0bada39.

2025-03-27Provide thread-safe pg_localeconv_r().Peter Eisentraut
This involves four different implementation strategies: 1. For Windows, we now require _configthreadlocale() to be available and work (commit f1da075d9a0), and the documentation says that the object returned by localeconv() is in thread-local memory. 2. For glibc, we translate to nl_langinfo_l() calls, because it offers the same information that way as an extension, and that API is thread-safe. 3. For macOS/*BSD, use localeconv_l(), which is thread-safe. 4. For everything else, use uselocale() to set the locale for the thread, and use a big ugly lock to defend against the returned object being concurrently clobbered. In practice this currently means only Solaris. The new call is used in pg_locale.c, replacing calls to setlocale() and localeconv().

2025-01-17Support PG_UNICODE_FAST locale in the builtin collation provider.Jeff Davis
The PG_UNICODE_FAST locale uses code point sort order (fast, memcmp-based) combined with Unicode character semantics. The character semantics are based on Unicode full case mapping. Full case mapping can map a single codepoint to multiple codepoints, such as "ß" uppercasing to "SS". Additionally, it handles context-sensitive mappings like the "final sigma", and it uses titlecase mappings such as "Dž" when titlecasing (rather than plain uppercase mappings). Importantly, the uppercasing of "ß" as "SS" is specifically mentioned by the SQL standard. In Postgres, UCS_BASIC uses plain ASCII semantics for case mapping and pattern matching, so if we changed it to use the PG_UNICODE_FAST locale, it would offer better compliance with the standard. For now, though, do not change the behavior of UCS_BASIC.

2024-11-27Require ucrt if using MinGW.Thomas Munro
Historically we tolerated the absence of various C runtime library features for the benefit of the MinGW tool chain, because it used ancient msvcrt.dll for a long period of time. It now uses ucrt by default (like Windows 10+, Visual Studio 2015+), and that's the only configuration we're testing. In practice, we effectively required ucrt already in PostgreSQL 17, when commit 8d9a9f03 required _create_locale etc, first available in msvcr120.dll (Visual Studio 2013, the last of the pre-ucrt series of runtimes), and for MinGW users that practically meant ucrt because it was difficult or impossible to use msvcr120.dll. That may even not have been the first such case, but old MinGW configurations had already dropped off our testing radar so we weren't paying much attention. This commit formalizes the requirement. It also removes a couple of obsolete comments that discussed msvcrt.dll limitations, and some tests of !defined(_MSC_VER) to imply msvcrt.dll. There are many more anachronisms, but it'll take some time to figure out how to remove them all. APIs affected relate to locales, UTF-8, threads, large files and more. Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for the documentation change. It's not really necessary to talk about ucrt explicitly in such a short section, since it's the default for MinGW-w64 and MSYS2.

2024-10-05Reject non-ASCII locale names.Thomas Munro
Commit bf03cfd1 started scanning all available BCP 47 locale names on Windows. This caused an abort/crash in the Windows runtime library if the default locale name contained non-ASCII characters, because of our use of the setlocale() save/restore pattern with "char" strings. After switching to another locale with a different encoding, the saved name could no longer be understood, and setlocale() would abort. "Turkish_Türkiye.1254" is the example from recent reports, but there are other examples of countries and languages with non-ASCII characters in their names, and they appear in Windows' (old style) locale names. To defend against this: 1. In initdb, reject non-ASCII locale names given explicity on the command line, or returned by the operating system environment with setlocale(..., ""), or "canonicalized" by the operating system when we set it. 2. In initdb only, perform the save-and-restore with Windows' non-standard wchar_t variant of setlocale(), so that it is not subject to round trip failures stemming from char string encoding confusion. 3. In the backend, we don't have to worry about the save-and-restore problem because we have already vetted the defaults, so we just have to make sure that CREATE DATABASE also rejects non-ASCII names in any new databases. SET lc_XXX doesn't suffer from the problem, but the ban applies to it too because it uses check_locale(). CREATE COLLATION doesn't suffer from the problem either, but it doesn't use check_locale() so it is not included in the new ban for now, to minimize the change. Anyone who encounters the new error message should either create a new duplicated locale with an ASCII-only name using Windows Locale Builder, or consider using BCP 47 names like "tr-TR". Users already couldn't initialize a cluster with "Turkish_Türkiye.1254" on PostgreSQL 16+, but the new failure mode is an error message that explains why, instead of a crash.

2024-08-23thread-safety: gmtime_r(), localtime_r()Peter Eisentraut
Use gmtime_r() and localtime_r() instead of gmtime() and localtime(), for thread-safety. There are a few affected calls in libpq and ecpg's libpgtypes, which are probably effectively bugs, because those libraries already claim to be thread-safe. There is one affected call in the backend. Most of the backend otherwise uses the custom functions pg_gmtime() and pg_localtime(), which are implemented differently. While we're here, change the call in the backend to gmtime*() instead of localtime*(), since for that use time zone behavior is irrelevant, and this side-steps any questions about when time zones are initialized by localtime_r() vs localtime(). Portability: gmtime_r() and localtime_r() are in POSIX but are not available on Windows. Windows has functions gmtime_s() and localtime_s() that can fulfill the same purpose, so we add some small wrappers around them. (Note that these *_s() functions are also different from the *_s() functions in the bounds-checking extension of C11. We are not using those here.) On MinGW, you can get the POSIX-style *_r() functions by defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE appropriately before including <time.h>. This leads to a conflict at least in plpython because apparently _POSIX_C_SOURCE gets defined in some header there, and then our replacement definitions conflict with the system definitions. To avoid that sort of thing, we now always define _POSIX_C_SOURCE on MinGW and use the POSIX-style functions here.

strxfrm() is not guaranteed to return the exact number of bytes needed to store the result; it may return a higher value. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/32f85d88d1f64395abfe5a10dd97a62a4d3474ce.camel@j-davis.com Reviewed-by: Heikki Linnakangas Backpatch-through: 16
2024-07-30Make collation not depend on setlocale().Jeff Davis
Now that the result of pg_newlocale_from_collation() is always non-NULL, then we can move the collate_is_c and ctype_is_c flags into pg_locale_t. That simplifies the logic in lc_collate_is_c() and lc_ctype_is_c(), removing the dependence on setlocale(). This commit also eliminates the multi-stage initialization of the collation cache. As long as we have catalog access, then it's now safe to call pg_newlocale_from_collation() without checking lc_collate_is_c() first.

2024-07-29Do not return NULL from pg_newlocale_from_collation().Jeff Davis
Previously, pg_newlocale_from_collation() returned NULL as a special case for the DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID if the provider was libc. In that case the behavior would depend on the last call to setlocale(). Now, consistent with the other providers, it will return a pointer to default_locale, which is not dependent on setlocale(). Note: for the C and POSIX locales, the locale_t structure within the pg_locale_t will still be zero, because those locales are implemented with internal logic and do not use libc at all. lc_collate_is_c() and lc_ctype_is_c() still depend on setlocale() to determine the current locale, which will be removed in a subsequent commit.

2024-07-28Change collation cache to use simplehash.h.Jeff Davis
Speeds up text comparison expressions when using a collation other than the database default collation. Does not affect larger operations such as ORDER BY, because the lookup is only done once.
