11 hoursChange pgstat_report_vacuum() to use RelationMichael Paquier
This change makes pgstat_report_vacuum() more consistent with pgstat_report_analyze(), that also uses a Relation. This enforces a policy that callers of this routine should open and lock the relation whose statistics are updated before calling this routine. We will unlikely have a lot of callers of this routine in the tree, but it seems like a good idea to imply this requirement in the long run.

14 hoursAvoid global LC_CTYPE dependency in pg_locale_icu.c.Jeff Davis
ICU still depends on libc for compatibility with certain historical behavior for single-byte encodings. Make the dependency explicit by holding a locale_t object when required. We should consider a better solution in the future, such as decoding the text to UTF-32 and using u_tolower(). That would be a behavior change and require additional infrastructure though; so for now, just avoid the global LC_CTYPE dependency.

14 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.)

2 daysRefactor static_assert() support.Peter Eisentraut
HAVE__STATIC_ASSERT was really a test for GCC statement expressions, as needed for StaticAssertExpr() now that _Static_assert could be assumed to be available through our C11 requirement. This artificially prevented Visual Studio from being able to use static_assert() in other contexts. Instead, make a new test for HAVE_STATEMENT_EXPRESSIONS, and use that to control only whether StaticAssertExpr() uses fallback code, not the other variants. This improves the quality of failure messages in the (much more common) other variants under Visual Studio. Also get rid of the two separate implementations for C++, since the C implementation is also also valid as C++11. While it is a stretch to apply HAVE_STATEMENT_EXPRESSIONS tested with $CC to a C++ compiler, the previous C++ coding assumed that the C++ compiler had them unconditionally, so it isn't a new stretch. In practice, the C and C++ compilers are very likely to agree, and if a combination is ever reported that falsifies this assumption we can always reconsider that.

3 daysAllow cumulative statistics to read/write auxiliary data from/to diskMichael Paquier
Cumulative stats kinds gain the capability to write additional per-entry data when flushing the stats at shutdown, and read this data when loading back the stats at startup. This can be fit for example in the case of variable-length data (like normalized query strings), so as it becomes possible to link the shared memory stats entries to data that is stored in a different area, like a DSA segment. Three new optional callbacks are added to PgStat_KindInfo, available to variable-numbered stats kinds: * to_serialized_data: writes auxiliary data for an entry. * from_serialized_data: reads auxiliary data for an entry. * finish: performs actions after read/write/discard operations. This is invoked after processing all the entries of a kind, allowing extensions to close file handles and clean up resources. Stats kinds have the option to store this data in the existing pgstats file, but can as well store it in one or more additional files whose names can be built upon the entry keys. The new serialized callbacks are called once an entry key is read or written from the main stats file. A file descriptor to the main pgstats file is available in the arguments of the callbacks.

3 daysUpdate typedefs.list to match what the buildfarm currently reports.Tom Lane
The current list from the buildfarm includes quite a few typedef names that it used to miss. The reason is a bit obscure, but it seems likely to have something to do with our recent increased use of palloc_object and palloc_array. In any case, this makes the relevant struct declarations be much more nicely formatted, so I'll take it. Install the current list and re-run pgindent to update affected code. Syncing with the current list also removes some obsolete typedef names and fixes some alphabetization errors. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1681301.1765742268@sss.pgh.pa.us

Previously, c.h made <assert.h> only available in frontends (#ifdef FRONTEND), which was probably reasonable, because the only thing it would give you is assert(), which you generally shouldn't use in the backend. But with C11, <assert.h> also makes available static_assert(), which would be useful everywhere. So this patch moves <assert.h> to the commonly available header files in c.h and fixes a small complication in regcustom.h that resulted from that.

7 daysAllow PG_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE to be different in C and C++ code.Tom Lane
Although clang claims to be compatible with gcc's printf format archetypes, this appears to be a falsehood: it likes __syslog__ (which gcc does not, on most platforms) and doesn't accept gnu_printf. This means that if you try to use gcc with clang++ or clang with g++, you get compiler warnings when compiling printf-like calls in our C++ code. This has been true for quite awhile, but it's gotten more annoying with the recent appearance of several buildfarm members that are configured like this. To fix, run separate probes for the format archetype to use with the C and C++ compilers, and conditionally define PG_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE depending on __cplusplus. (We could alternatively insist that you not mix-and-match C and C++ compilers; but if the case works otherwise, this is a poor reason to insist on that.) No back-patch for now, but we may want to do that if this patch survives buildfarm testing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/986485.1764825548@sss.pgh.pa.us

8 daysFix O_CLOEXEC flag handling in Windows port.Thomas Munro
PostgreSQL's src/port/open.c has always set bInheritHandle = TRUE when opening files on Windows, making all file descriptors inheritable by child processes. This meant the O_CLOEXEC flag, added to many call sites by commit 1da569ca1f (v16), was silently ignored. The original commit included a comment suggesting that our open() replacement doesn't create inheritable handles, but it was a mis- understanding of the code path. In practice, the code was creating inheritable handles in all cases. This hasn't caused widespread problems because most child processes (archive_command, COPY PROGRAM, etc.) operate on file paths passed as arguments rather than inherited file descriptors. Even if a child wanted to use an inherited handle, it would need to learn the numeric handle value, which isn't passed through our IPC mechanisms. Nonetheless, the current behavior is wrong. It violates documented O_CLOEXEC semantics, contradicts our own code comments, and makes PostgreSQL behave differently on Windows than on Unix. It also creates potential issues with future code or security auditing tools. To fix, define O_CLOEXEC to _O_NOINHERIT in master, previously used by O_DSYNC. We use different values in the back branches to preserve existing values. In pgwin32_open_handle() we set bInheritHandle according to whether O_CLOEXEC is specified, for the same atomic semantics as POSIX in multi-threaded programs that create processes.

8 daysSupport "j" length modifier in snprintf.c.Tom Lane
POSIX has for a long time defined the "j" length modifier for printf conversions as meaning the size of intmax_t or uintmax_t. We got away without supporting that so far, because we were not using intmax_t anywhere. However, commit e6be84356 re-introduced upstream's use of intmax_t and PRIdMAX into zic.c. It emerges that on some platforms (at least FreeBSD and macOS), <inttypes.h> defines PRIdMAX as "jd", so that snprintf.c falls over if that is used. (We hadn't noticed yet because it would only be apparent if bad data is fed to zic, resulting in an error report, and even then the only visible symptom is a missing line number in the error message.) We could revert that decision from our copy of zic.c, but on the whole it seems better to update snprintf.c to support this standard modifier. There might well be extensions, now or in future, that expect it to work. I did this in the lazy man's way of translating "j" to either "l" or "ll" depending on a compile-time sizeof() check, just as was done long ago to support "z" for size_t. One could imagine promoting intmax_t to have full support in snprintf.c, for example converting fmtint()'s value argument and internal arithmetic to use [u]intmax_t not [unsigned] long long. But that'd be more work and I'm hesitant to do it anyway: if there are any platforms out there where intmax_t is actually wider than "long long", this would doubtless result in a noticeable speed penalty to snprintf(). Let's not go there until we have positive evidence that there's a reason to, and some way to measure what size of penalty we're taking.

8 daysWiden MultiXactOffset to 64 bitsHeikki Linnakangas
This eliminates MultiXactOffset wraparound and the 2^32 limit on the total number of multixid members. Multixids are still limited to 2^31, but this is a nice improvement because 'members' can grow much faster than the number of multixids. On such systems, you can now run longer before hitting hard limits or triggering anti-wraparound vacuums. Not having to deal with MultiXactOffset wraparound also simplifies the code and removes some gnarly corner cases. We no longer need to perform emergency anti-wraparound freezing because of running out of 'members' space, so the offset stop limit is gone. But you might still not want 'members' to consume huge amounts of disk space. For that reason, I kept the logic for lowering vacuum's multixid freezing cutoff if a large amount of 'members' space is used. The thresholds for that are roughly the same as the "safe" and "danger" thresholds used before, 2 billion transactions and 4 billion transactions. This keeps the behavior for the freeze cutoff roughly the same as before. It might make sense to make this smarter or configurable, now that the threshold is only needed to manage disk usage, but that's left for the future. Add code to pg_upgrade to convert multitransactions from the old to the new format, rewriting the pg_multixact SLRU files. Because pg_upgrade now rewrites the files, we can get rid of some hacks we had put in place to deal with old bugs and upgraded clusters.

10 daysRevise APIs for pushJsonbValue() and associated routines.Tom Lane
Instead of passing "JsonbParseState **" to pushJsonbValue(), pass a pointer to a JsonbInState, which will contain the parseState stack pointer as well as other useful fields. Also, instead of returning a JsonbValue pointer that is often meaningless/ignored, return the top-level JsonbValue pointer in the "result" field of the JsonbInState. This involves a lot of (mostly mechanical) edits, but I think the results are notationally cleaner and easier to understand. Certainly the business with sometimes capturing the result of pushJsonbValue() and sometimes not was bug-prone and incapable of mechanical verification. In the new arrangement, JsonbInState.result remains null until we've completed a valid sequence of pushes, so that an incorrect sequence will result in a null-pointer dereference, not mistaken use of a partial result. However, this isn't simply an exercise in prettier notation. The real reason for doing it is to provide a mechanism whereby pushJsonbValue() can be told to construct the JsonbValue tree in a context that is not CurrentMemoryContext. That happens when a non-null "outcontext" is specified in the JsonbInState. No callers exercise that option in this patch, but the next patch in the series will make use of it.

pg_type.typlen says 12 for the size of timetz, but sizeof(TimeTzADT) will be 16 on most platforms due to alignment padding. Using the sizeof number is no problem for usages such as palloc'ing a result datum, but in usages such as datumCopy we really ought to match what pg_type says. Add a macro TIMETZ_TYPLEN so that we have a symbolic way to write that rather than hard-coding "12". I cannot find any place where we've needed this so far, but an upcoming patch requires it.

11 daysHandle constant inputs to corr() and related aggregates more precisely.Tom Lane
The SQL standard says that corr() and friends should return NULL in the mathematically-undefined case where all the inputs in one of the columns have the same value. We were checking that by seeing if the sums Sxx and Syy were zero, but that approach is very vulnerable to roundoff error: if a sum is close to zero but not exactly that, we'd come out with a pretty silly non-NULL result. Instead, directly track whether the inputs are all equal by remembering the common value in each column. Once we detect that a new input is different from before, represent that by storing NaN for the common value. (An objection to this scheme is that if the inputs are all NaN, we will consider that they were not all equal. But under IEEE float arithmetic rules, one NaN is never equal to another, so this behavior is arguably correct. Moreover it matches what we did before in such cases.) Then, leave the sums at their exact value of zero for as long as we haven't detected different input values. This solution requires the aggregate transition state to contain 8 float values not 6, which is not problematic, and it seems to add less than 1% to the aggregates' runtime, which seems acceptable. While we're here, improve corr()'s final function to cope with overflow/underflow in the final calculation, and to clamp its result to [-1, 1] in case of roundoff error. Although this is arguably a bug fix, it requires a catversion bump due to the change in aggregates' initial states, so it can't be back-patched. Patch written by me, but many of the ideas are due to Dean Rasheed, who also did a deal of testing.

12 daysRename column slotsync_skip_at to slotsync_last_skip.Amit Kapila
Commit 76b78721ca introduced two new columns in pg_stat_replication_slots to improve monitoring of slot synchronization. One of these columns was named slotsync_skip_at, which is inconsistent with the naming convention used for similar columns in other system views. Columns that store timestamps of the most recent event typically use the 'last_' in the column name (e.g., last_autovacuum, checksum_last_failure). Renaming slotsync_skip_at to slotsync_last_skip aligns with this pattern, making the purpose of the column clearer and improving overall consistency across the views.

14 daysSet next multixid's offset when creating a new multixidHeikki Linnakangas
With this commit, the next multixid's offset will always be set on the offsets page, by the time that a backend might try to read it, so we no longer need the waiting mechanism with the condition variable. In other words, this eliminates "corner case 2" mentioned in the comments. The waiting mechanism was broken in a few scenarios: - When nextMulti was advanced without WAL-logging the next multixid. For example, if a later multixid was already assigned and WAL-logged before the previous one was WAL-logged, and then the server crashed. In that case the next offset would never be set in the offsets SLRU, and a query trying to read it would get stuck waiting for it. Same thing could happen if pg_resetwal was used to forcibly advance nextMulti. - In hot standby mode, a deadlock could happen where one backend waits for the next multixid assignment record, but WAL replay is not advancing because of a recovery conflict with the waiting backend. The old TAP test used carefully placed injection points to exercise the old waiting code, but now that the waiting code is gone, much of the old test is no longer relevant. Rewrite the test to reproduce the IPC/MultixactCreation hang after crash recovery instead, and to verify that previously recorded multixids stay readable. Backpatch to all supported versions. In back-branches, we still need to be able to read WAL that was generated before this fix, so in the back-branches this includes a hack to initialize the next offsets page when replaying XLOG_MULTIXACT_CREATE_ID for the last multixid on a page. On 'master', bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC instead to indicate that the WAL is not compatible.

2025-12-02Show size of DSAs and dshashes in pg_dsm_registry_allocations.Nathan Bossart
Presently, this view reports NULL for the size of DSAs and dshash tables because 1) the current backend might not be attached to them and 2) the registry doesn't save the pointers to the dsa_area or dshash_table in local memory. Also, the view doesn't show partially-initialized entries to avoid ambiguity, since those entries would report a NULL size as well. This commit introduces a function that looks up the size of a DSA given its handle (transiently attaching to the control segment if needed) and teaches pg_dsm_registry_allocations to use it to show the size of successfully-initialized DSA and dshash entries. Furthermore, the view now reports partially-initialized entries with a NULL size.

2025-12-02Update some timestamp[tz] functions to use soft-error reportingMichael Paquier
This commit updates two functions that convert "timestamptz" to "timestamp", and vice-versa, to use the soft error reporting rather than a their own logic to do the same. These are now named as follows: - timestamp2timestamptz_safe() - timestamptz2timestamp_safe() These functions were suffixed with "_opt_overflow", previously. This shaves some code, as it is possible to detect how a timestamp[tz] overflowed based on the returned value rather than a custom state. It is optionally possible for the callers of these functions to rely on the error generated internally by these functions, depending on the error context.

2025-12-01Make regex "max_chr" depend on encoding, not provider.Jeff Davis
The regex mechanism scans through the first "max_chr" character values to cache character property ranges (isalpha, etc.). For single-byte encodings, there's no sense in scanning beyond UCHAR_MAX; but for UTF-8 it makes sense to cache higher code point values (though not all of them; only up to MAX_SIMPLE_CHR). Prior to 5a38104b36, the logic about how many character values to scan was based on the pg_regex_strategy, which was dependent on the provider. Commit 5a38104b36 preserved that logic exactly, allowing different providers to define the "max_chr". Now, change it to depend only on the encoding and whether ctype_is_c. For this specific calculation, distinguishing between providers creates more complexity than it's worth.

2025-11-28Fix pg_isblank()Peter Eisentraut
There was a pg_isblank() function that claimed to be a replacement for the standard isblank() function, which was thought to be "not very portable yet". We can now assume that it's portable (it's in C99). But pg_isblank() actually diverged from the standard isblank() by also accepting '\r', while the standard one only accepts space and tab. This was added to support parsing pg_hba.conf under Windows. But the hba parsing code now works completely differently and already handles line endings before we get to pg_isblank(). The other user of pg_isblank() is for ident protocol message parsing, which also handles '\r' separately. So this behavior is now obsolete and confusing. To improve clarity, I separated those concerns. The ident parsing now gets its own function that hardcodes the whitespace characters mentioned by the relevant RFC. pg_isblank() is now static in hba.c and is a wrapper around the standard isblank(), with some extra logic to ensure robust treatment of non-ASCII characters.
