* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Allow psql variable substitution to occur in backtick command strings.Tom Lane2017-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, text between backquotes in a psql metacommand's arguments was always passed to the shell literally. That considerably hobbles the usefulness of the feature for scripting, so we'd foreseen for a long time that we'd someday want to allow substitution of psql variables into the shell command. IMO the addition of \if metacommands has brought us to that point, since \if can greatly benefit from some sort of client-side expression evaluation capability, and psql itself is not going to grow any such thing in time for v10. Hence, this patch. It allows :VARIABLE to be replaced by the exact contents of the named variable, while :'VARIABLE' is replaced by the variable's contents suitably quoted to become a single shell-command argument. (The quoting rules for that are different from those for SQL literals, so this is a bit of an abuse of the :'VARIABLE' notation, but I doubt anyone will be confused.) As with other situations in psql, no substitution occurs if the word following a colon is not a known variable name. That limits the risk of compatibility problems for existing psql scripts; but the risk isn't zero, so this needs to be called out in the v10 release notes.

* Teach appendShellString() to not quote strings containing "-".Tom Lane2016-09-06
| | | | | | | Brain fade in commit a00c58314: I was thinking that a string starting with "-" could be taken as a switch depending on command line syntax. That's true, but having appendShellString() quote it will not help, so we may as well not do so. Per complaint from Peter Eisentraut.
* Make initdb's suggested "pg_ctl start" command line more reliable.Tom Lane2016-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding here was not nearly careful enough about quoting special characters, and it didn't get corner cases right for constructing the pg_ctl path either. Use join_path_components() and appendShellString() to do it honestly, so that the string will more likely work if blindly copied-and-pasted. While at it, teach appendShellString() not to quote strings that clearly don't need it, so that the output from initdb doesn't become uglier than it was before in typical cases where quoting is not needed.

* Fix assorted places in psql to print version numbers >= 10 in new style.Tom Lane2016-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is somewhat cosmetic, since as long as you know what you are looking at, "10.0" is a serviceable substitute for "10". But there is a potential for confusion between version numbers with minor numbers and those without --- we don't want people asking "why is psql saying 10.0 when my server is 10.2". Therefore, back-patch as far as practical, which turns out to be 9.3. I could have redone the patch to use fprintf(stderr) in place of psql_error(), but it seems more work than is warranted for branches that will be EOL or nearly so by the time v10 comes out. Although only psql seems to contain any code that needs this, I chose to put the support function into fe_utils, since it seems likely we'll need it in other client programs in future. (In 9.3-9.5, use dumputils.c, the predecessor of fe_utils/string_utils.c.) In HEAD, also fix the backend code that whines about loadable-library version mismatch. I don't see much need to back-patch that.
* Obstruct shell, SQL, and conninfo injection via database and role names.Noah Misch2016-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to simplistic quoting and confusion of database names with conninfo strings, roles with the CREATEDB or CREATEROLE option could escalate to superuser privileges when a superuser next ran certain maintenance commands. The new coding rule for PQconnectdbParams() calls, documented at conninfo_array_parse(), is to pass expand_dbname=true and wrap literal database names in a trivial connection string. Escape zero-length values in appendConnStrVal(). Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). Nathan Bossart, Michael Paquier, and Noah Misch. Reviewed by Peter Eisentraut. Reported by Nathan Bossart.

* Promote pg_dumpall shell/connstr quoting functions to src/fe_utils.Noah Misch2016-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | Rename these newly-extern functions with terms more typical of their new neighbors. No functional changes; a subsequent commit will use them in more places. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). Back branches lack src/fe_utils, so instead rename the functions in place; the subsequent commit will copy them into the other programs using them.

| | | | | Reference to getThreadLocalPQExpBuffer here seems inappropriate, since we aren't necessarily using that instantiation of getLocalPQExpBuffer.
* Move and rename fmtReloptionsArray().Dean Rasheed2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | Move fmtReloptionsArray() from pg_dump.c to string_utils.c so that it is available to other frontend code. In particular psql's \ev and \sv commands need it to handle view reloptions. Also rename the function to appendReloptionsArray(), which is a more accurate description of what it does.

* Create src/fe_utils/, and move stuff into there from pg_dump's dumputils.Tom Lane2016-03-24
Per discussion, we want to create a static library and put the stuff into it that until now has been shared across src/bin/ directories by ad-hoc methods like symlinking a source file. This commit creates the library and populates it with a couple of files that contain the widely-useful portions of pg_dump's dumputils.c file. dumputils.c survives, because it has some stuff that didn't seem appropriate for fe_utils, but it's significantly smaller and is no longer referenced from any other directory. Follow-on patches will move more stuff into fe_utils. The Mkvcbuild.pm hacking here is just a best guess; we'll see how the buildfarm likes it.
