Fix issue with WAL archiving in standby.
Previously, walreceiver always closed the currently-opened WAL segment
and created its archive notification file, after it finished writing
the current segment up and received any WAL data that should be
written into the next segment. If walreceiver exited just before
any WAL data in the next segment arrived at standby, it did not
create the archive notification file of the current segment
even though that's known completed. This behavior could cause
WAL archiving of the segment to be delayed until subsequent
restartpoints or checkpoints created its notification file.

an archive notification file of a current WAL segment immediately
if that's known completed before receiving next WAL data.

Fix rewriter to set hasModifyingCTE correctly on rewritten queries.
If we copy data-modifying CTEs from the original query to a replacement
query (from a DO INSTEAD rule), we must set hasModifyingCTE properly
in the replacement query. Failure to do this can cause various
unpleasantness, such as unsafe usage of parallel plans. The code also
neglected to propagate hasRecursive, though that's only cosmetic at
the moment.
A difficulty arises if the rule action is an INSERT...SELECT. We
attach the original query's RTEs and CTEs to the sub-SELECT Query, but
data-modifying CTEs are only allowed to appear in the topmost Query.
For the moment, throw an error in such cases. It would probably be
possible to avoid this error by attaching the CTEs to the top INSERT
Query instead; but that would require a bunch of new code to adjust
ctelevelsup references. Given the narrowness of the use-case, and

Fix float4/float8 hash functions to produce uniform results for NaNs.
The IEEE 754 standard allows a wide variety of bit patterns for NaNs,
of which at least two ("NaN" and "-NaN") are pretty easy to produce
from SQL on most machines. This is problematic because our btree
comparison functions deem all NaNs to be equal, but our float hash
functions know nothing about NaNs and will happily produce varying
hash codes for them. That causes unexpected results from queries
that hash a column containing different NaN values. It could also
produce unexpected lookup failures when using a hash index on a
float column, i.e. "WHERE x = 'NaN'" will not find all the rows
it should.
To fix, special-case NaN in the float hash functions, not too much
unlike the existing special case that forces zero and minus zero
to hash the same. I arranged for the most vanilla sort of NaN
(that coming from the C99 NAN constant) to still have the same
hash code as before, to reduce the risk to existing hash indexes.
I dithered about whether to back-patch this into stable branches,
but ultimately decided to do so. It's a clear improvement for
queries that hash internally. If there is anybody who has -NaN
in a hash index, they'd be well advised to re-index after applying

worse than the misbehavior they had before.

In particular, InitializeParallelDSM() was unconditionally calling
GetTransactionSnapshot(), because I (rhaas) mistakenly thought that
was always retrieving an existing snapshot whereas, at isolation
levels less than REPEATABLE READ, it's actually taking a new one. So
instead do this only at higher isolation levels where there actually
is a single snapshot for the whole transaction.
By itself, this is not a sufficient fix, because we still need to
guarantee that TransactionXmin gets set properly in the workers. The
easiest way to do that seems to be to install the leader's active
snapshot as the transaction snapshot if the leader did not serialize a
transaction snapshot. This doesn't affect the results of future

Fix regexp misbehavior with capturing parens inside "{0}".
Regexps like "(.){0}...\1" drew an "invalid backreference number".
That's not unreasonable on its face, since the capture group will
never be matched if it's iterated zero times. However, other engines
such as Perl's don't complain about this, nor do we throw an error for
related cases such as "(.)|\1", even though that backref can never
succeed either. Also, if the zero-iterations case happens at runtime
rather than compile time --- say, "(x)*...\1" when there's no "x" to
be found --- that's not an error, we just deem the backref to not
match. Making this even less defensible, no error was thrown for
nested cases such as "((.)){0}...\2"; and to add insult to injury,
those cases could result in assertion failures instead. (It seems
that nothing especially bad happened in non-assert builds, though.)
Let's just fix it so that no error is thrown and instead the backref
is deemed to never match, so that compile-time detection of no
iterations behaves the same as run-time detection.

Prevent regexp back-refs from sometimes matching when they shouldn't.
The recursion in cdissect() was careless about clearing match data
for capturing parentheses after rejecting a partial match. This
could allow a later back-reference to succeed when by rights it

To fix, think a little more rigorously about what the contract

With the right spec, we can fix this using fewer rather than more
resets of the match data; the key decision being that a failed
sub-match is now explicitly responsible for clearing any matches
it may have set.
There are enough other cross-checks and optimizations in the code

Avoid creating archive status ".ready" files too early
WAL records may span multiple segments, but XLogWrite() does not
wait for the entire record to be written out to disk before
creating archive status files. Instead, as soon as the last WAL page of
the segment is written, the archive status file is created, and the
archiver may process it. If PostgreSQL crashes before it is able to
write and flush the rest of the record (in the next WAL segment), the
wrong version of the first segment file lingers in the archive, which
causes operations such as point-in-time restores to fail.
To fix this, keep track of records that span across segments and ensure
that segments are only marked ready-for-archival once such records have
been completely written to disk.
This has always been wrong, so backpatch all the way back.

Fix backup manifests to generate correct WAL-Ranges across timelines
In a backup manifest, WAL-Ranges stores the range of WAL that is
required for the backup to be valid. pg_verifybackup would then
internally use pg_waldump for the checks based on this data.
When the timeline where the backup started was more than 1 with a
history file looked at for the manifest data generation, the calculation
of the WAL range for the first timeline to check was incorrect. The
previous logic used as start LSN the start position of the first

Fix performance bug in regexp's citerdissect/creviterdissect.
After detecting a sub-match "dissect" failure (i.e., a backref match
failure) in the i'th sub-match of an iteration node, we should proceed
by adjusting the attempted length of the i'th submatch. As coded,
though, these functions changed the attempted length of the *last*
sub-match, and only after exhausting all possibilities for that would
they back up to adjust the next-to-last sub-match, and then the
second-from-last, etc; all of which is wasted effort, since only
changing the start or length of the i'th sub-match can possibly make
it succeed. This oversight creates the possibility for exponentially
bad performance. Fortunately the problem is masked in most cases by
optimizations or constraints applied elsewhere; which explains why
we'd not noticed it before. But it is possible to reach the problem

Recursion into the FILTER clause was mis-implemented, such that a

boolean-returning aggregate.) The consequence would be
mis-identification of the correct semantic level of the aggregate,

expression is an aggregate, this could also lead to failure to issue
an expected "aggregate function calls cannot be nested" error, which
would likely result in a core dump later on, since the planner and

Prevent ALTER TYPE/DOMAIN/OPERATOR from changing extension membership.
If recordDependencyOnCurrentExtension is invoked on a pre-existing,
free-standing object during an extension update script, that object
will become owned by the extension. In our current code this is
possible in three cases:
* Replacing a "shell" type or operator.
* CREATE OR REPLACE overwriting an existing object.
* ALTER TYPE SET, ALTER DOMAIN SET, and ALTER OPERATOR SET.
The first of these cases is intentional behavior, as noted by the
existing comments for GenerateTypeDependencies. It seems like
appropriate behavior for CREATE OR REPLACE too; at least, the obvious
alternatives are not better. However, the fact that it happens during
ALTER is an artifact of trying to share code (GenerateTypeDependencies
and makeOperatorDependencies) between the CREATE and ALTER cases.
Since an extension script would be unlikely to ALTER an object that
didn't already belong to the extension, this behavior is not very
troubling for the direct target object ... but ALTER TYPE SET will
recurse to dependent domains, and it is very uncool for those to
become owned by the extension if they were not already.
Let's fix this by redefining the ALTER cases to never change extension
membership, full stop. We could minimize the behavioral change by
only changing the behavior when ALTER TYPE SET is recursing to a
domain, but that would complicate the code and it does not seem like
a better definition.
Per bug #17144 from Alex Kozhemyakin. Back-patch to v13 where ALTER
TYPE SET was added. (The other cases are older, but since they only
affect the directly-named object, there's not enough of a problem to
justify changing the behavior further back.)

In order for BIO_find_type() to be able to traverse the chain
of BIO's and correctly find all BIO's of a certain type they

Fix incorrect hash table resizing code in simplehash.h
This fixes a bug in simplehash.h which caused an incorrect size mask to be
used when the hash table grew to SH_MAX_SIZE (2^32). The code was
incorrectly setting the size mask to 0 when the hash tables reached the
maximum possible number of buckets. This would result always trying to
use the 0th bucket causing an infinite loop of trying to grow the hash
table due to there being too many collisions.
Seemingly it's not that common for simplehash tables to ever grow this big
as this bug dates back to v10 and nobody seems to have noticed it before.
However, probably the most likely place that people would notice it would
be doing a large in-memory Hash Aggregate with something close to at least
2^31 groups.
After this fix, the code now works correctly with up to within 98% of 2^32
groups and will fail with the following error when trying to insert any
more items into the hash table:
ERROR: hash table size exceeded
However, the work_mem (or hash_mem_multiplier in newer versions) settings
will generally cause Hash Aggregates to spill to disk long before reaching
that many groups. The minimal test case I did took a work_mem setting of
over 192GB to hit the bug.
simplehash hash tables are used in a few other places such as Bitmap Index
Scans, however, again the size that the hash table can become there is
also limited to work_mem and it would take a relation of around 16TB
(2^31) pages and a very large work_mem setting to hit this. With smaller
work_mem values the table would become lossy and never grow large enough
to hit the problem.

Fix division-by-zero error in to_char() with 'EEEE' format.
This fixes a long-standing bug when using to_char() to format a
numeric value in scientific notation -- if the value's exponent is
less than -NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE-1 (-1001), it produced a

The reason for this error was that get_str_from_var_sci() divides its

underflow test in power_var_int() causes it to return zero if the
result scale is too small. That's not a problem for power_var_int()'s
only other caller, power_var(), since that limits the rscale to 1000,
but in get_str_from_var_sci() the exponent can be much smaller,
requiring a much larger rscale. Fix by introducing a new function to
compute 10^exp directly, with no rscale limit. This also allows 10^exp
to be computed more efficiently, without any numeric multiplication,
division or rounding.

Fix corner-case errors and loss of precision in numeric_power().
This fixes a couple of related problems that arise when raising
numbers to very large powers.
Firstly, when raising a negative number to a very large integer power,
the result should be well-defined, but the previous code would only
cope if the exponent was small enough to go through power_var_int().
Otherwise it would throw an internal error, attempting to take the
logarithm of a negative number. Fix this by adding suitable handling
to the general case in power_var() to cope with negative bases,
checking for integer powers there.
Next, when raising a (positive or negative) number whose absolute
value is slightly less than 1 to a very large power, the result should
approach zero as the power is increased. However, in some cases, for
sufficiently large powers, this would lose all precision and return 1
instead of 0. This was due to the way that the local_rscale was being
calculated for the final full-precision calculation:
local_rscale = rscale + (int) val - ln_dweight + 8
The first two terms on the right hand side are meant to give the
number of significant digits required in the result ("val" being the
estimated result weight). However, this failed to account for the fact
that rscale is clipped to a maximum of NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE
(1000), and the result weight might be less then -1000, causing their
sum to be negative, leading to a loss of precision. Fix this by
forcing the number of significant digits calculated to be nonnegative.
It's OK for it to be zero (when the result weight is less than -1000),
since the local_rscale value then includes a few extra digits to
ensure an accurate result.
Finally, add additional underflow checks to exp_var() and power_var(),
so that they consistently return zero for cases like this where the
result is indistinguishable from zero. Some paths through this code
already returned zero in such cases, but others were throwing overflow
errors.

Get rid of artificial restriction on hash table sizes on Windows.
The point of introducing the hash_mem_multiplier GUC was to let users
reproduce the old behavior of hash aggregation, i.e. that it could use
more than work_mem at need. However, the implementation failed to get
the job done on Win64, where work_mem is clamped to 2GB to protect
various places that calculate memory sizes using "long int". As
written, the same clamp was applied to hash_mem. This resulted in
severe performance regressions for queries requiring a bit more than
2GB for hash aggregation, as they now spill to disk and there's no
way to stop that.
Getting rid of the work_mem restriction seems like a good idea, but
it's a big job and could not conceivably be back-patched. However,
there's only a fairly small number of places that are concerned with
the hash_mem value, and it turns out to be possible to remove the
restriction there without too much code churn or any ABI breaks.
So, let's do that for now to fix the regression, and leave the

Fix check for conflicting session- vs transaction-level locks.
We have an implementation restriction that PREPARE TRANSACTION can't
handle cases where both session-lifespan and transaction-lifespan locks
are held on the same lockable object. (That's because we'd otherwise
need to acquire a new PROCLOCK entry during post-prepare cleanup, which
is an operation that might fail. The situation can only arise with odd
usages of advisory locks, so removing the restriction is probably not
worth the amount of effort it would take.) AtPrepare_Locks attempted
to enforce this, but its logic was many bricks shy of a load, because
it only detected cases where the session and transaction locks had the
same lockmode. Locks of different modes on the same object would lead
to the rather unhelpful message "PANIC: we seem to have dropped a bit
somewhere".

not one per locktag + mode, and use that to detect conflicts.

Make printf("%s", NULL) print "(null)" instead of crashing.
We previously took a hard-line attitude that callers should never print
a null string pointer, and doing so is worthy of an assertion failure
or crash. However, we've long since flushed out any easy-to-find bugs
of that nature. What remains is a lot of code that perhaps could fail
that way in hard-to-reach corner cases. For example, in something as
simple as
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_OBJECT),
errmsg("constraint \"%s\" for table \"%s\" does not exist",
conname, get_rel_name(relid))));
one must wonder whether it's completely guaranteed that get_rel_name
cannot return NULL in this context. If such a situation did occur,
the existing policy converts what might be a pretty minor bug into
a server crash condition. This is not good for robustness.
Hence, let's follow the lead of glibc and print "(null)" instead
of failing. We should, of course, still consider it a bug if that
behavior is reachable in ordinary use; but crashing seems less
desirable than not crashing.
This fix works across-the-board in v12 and up, where we always use
src/port/snprintf.c. Before that, on most platforms we're at the mercy
of the local libc, but it appears that Solaris 10 is the only supported
platform where we'd still get a crash. Most other platforms such as
*BSD, macOS, and Solaris 11 have adopted glibc's behavior at some
point. (AIX and HPUX just print "" not "(null)", but that's close
enough.) I've not checked what Windows' native printf would do, but
it doesn't matter because we've long used snprintf.c on that platform.
In v12 and up, also const-ify related code so that we're not casting
away const on the constant string. This is just neatnik-ism, since
next to no compilers will warn about that.

Fix corner-case uninitialized-variable issues in plpgsql.
If an error was raised during our initial attempt to check whether
a successfully-compiled expression is "simple", subsequent calls of
exec_stmt_execsql would suppose that stmt->mod_stmt was already computed
when it had not been. This could lead to assertion failures in debug
builds; in production builds the effect would typically be to act as
if INTO STRICT had been specified even when it had not been. Of course
that only matters if the subsequent attempt to execute the expression
succeeds, so that the problem can only be reached by fixing a failure
in some referenced, inline-able SQL function and then retrying the
calling plpgsql function in the same session.
(There might be even-more-obscure ways to change the expression's
behavior without changing the plpgsql function, but that one seems
like the only one people would be likely to hit in practice.)
The most foolproof way to fix this would be to arrange for
exec_prepare_plan to not set expr->plan until we've finished the
subsidiary simple-expression check. But it seems hard to do that
without creating reference-count leak issues. So settle for documenting
the hazard in a comment and fixing exec_stmt_execsql to test separately
for whether it's computed stmt->mod_stmt. (That adds a test-and-branch
per execution, but hopefully that's negligible in context.) In v11 and

Fix some issues with WAL segment opening for pg_receivewal --compress
The logic handling the opening of new WAL segments was fuzzy when using
--compress if a partial, non-compressed, segment with the same base name

size of a non-compressed segment, followed by the opening of a new

bowerbird where gzflush() could fail in this code path. It is wrong

Robustify tuplesort's free_sort_tuple function
41469253e went to the trouble of removing a theoretical bug from
free_sort_tuple by checking if the tuple was NULL before freeing it. Let's
make this a little more robust by also setting the tuple to NULL so that
should we be called again we won't end up doing a pfree on the already
pfree'd tuple. Per advice from Tom Lane.

Fix theoretical bug in tuplesort
This fixes a theoretical bug in tuplesort.c which, if a bounded sort was
used in combination with a byval Datum sort (tuplesort_begin_datum), when
switching the sort to a bounded heap in make_bounded_heap(), we'd call
free_sort_tuple(). The problem was that when sorting Datums of a byval
type, the tuple is NULL and free_sort_tuple() would free the memory for it
regardless of that. This would result in a crash.
Here we fix that simply by adding a check to see if the tuple is NULL
before trying to disassociate and free any memory belonging to it.
The reason this bug is only theoretical is that nowhere in the current
code base do we do tuplesort_set_bound() when performing a Datum sort.
However, let's backpatch a fix for this as if any extension uses the code
in this way then it's likely to cause problems.

Remove dead assignment to local variable.
This should have been removed in commit
7e30c186da, which split the loop
into two. Only the first loop uses the 'from' variable; updating it in
the second loop is bogus. It was never read after the first loop, so this
was harmless and surely optimized away by the compiler, but let's be tidy.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
