in versions >= 8.3). The core code is more robust and efficient than what
was there before, and this also reduces risks involved in swapping different
libxml error handler settings.
Before 8.3, there is still some risk of problems if add-on modules such as
Perl invoke libxml without setting their own error handler. Given the lack
of reports I'm not sure there's a risk in practice, so I didn't take the
step of actually duplicating the core code into older contrib/xml2 branches.
Instead I just tweaked the existing code to ensure it didn't leave a dangling
pointer to short-lived memory when throwing an error.
This involves modifying the module to have a stable ABI, that is, the
xslt_process() function still exists even without libxslt. It throws a
runtime error if called, but doesn't prevent executing the CREATE FUNCTION
call. This is a good thing anyway to simplify cross-version upgrades.
These are unnecessary and probably dangerous. I don't see any immediate
risk situations in the core XML support or contrib/xml2 itself, but there
could be issues with external uses of libxml2, and in any case it's an
accident waiting to happen.
Get rid of the code that attempted to funnel libxml2's memory allocations
into palloc. We already knew from experience with the core xml datatype
that trying to do this is simply not reliable. Unlike the core code, I
did not bother adding a lot of PG_TRY/PG_CATCH logic to try to ensure that
everything is cleaned up on error exit. Hence, we might leak some memory
if one of these functions fails partway through. Given the deprecated
status of this contrib module and the fact that errors partway through
the functions shouldn't be too common, it doesn't seem worth worrying about.
Also fix a separate bug in xpath_table, that it did the wrong things
if given a result tuple descriptor with less than 2 columns. While
such a case isn't very useful in practice, we shouldn't fail or stomp
memory when it occurs.
Add some simple regression tests based on all the reported crash cases
that I have on hand.
This should be back-patched, but let's see if the buildfarm likes it first.
The main motivation for changing this is bug #4921, in which it's pointed out
that it's no longer safe to apply ltree operations to the result of
ARRAY(SELECT ...) if the sub-select might return no rows. Before 8.3,
the ARRAY() construct would return NULL, which might or might not be helpful
but at least it wouldn't result in an error. Now it returns an empty array
which results in a failure for no good reason, since the ltree operations
are all perfectly capable of dealing with zero-element arrays.
As far as I can find, these ltree functions are the only places where zero
array dimensionality is rejected unnecessarily.
Back-patch to 8.3 to prevent behavioral regression of queries that worked
in older releases.
The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller
of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists,
GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number
of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will
make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a
future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code
shorter, too.

of shared or nailed system catalogs. This has two key benefits:
* The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs.
* We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing
shared catalogs.
CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on
shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would
only be visible in one database.
Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and
crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed;
shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared.
This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of
deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other
concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch. As a stopgap,
parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid
such failures during the regression tests.

Simplify tuplestore API so that the caller doesn't need to be in the right
memory context when calling tuplestore_put* functions. tuplestore.c
automatically switches to the memory context used when the tuplestore was
created. Tuplesort was already modified like this earlier. This patch also
removes the now useless MemoryContextSwitch calls from callers.

processes of a pgbench run, when we are using -j > 1 and are emulating
threads via fork(). Otherwise the children all inherit the same random
sequence state and produce the same random-number sequence.
In the threaded case the different threads will share one RNG state, so
they will produce different subsets of one sequence, which is maybe more
correlated than a purist would like but will not be "the same". So we
leave that case alone.

Different marking is used for a line break caused by a newline in the data
than for a straight wraparound. A newline break is signaled by a "+" in the
right margin column in ASCII mode, or a carriage return arrow in UNICODE mode.
Wraparound is signaled by a dot in the right margin as well as the following
left margin in ASCII mode, or an ellipsis symbol in the same places in UNICODE
mode. "\pset linestyle old-ascii" is added to make the previous behavior
available if anyone really wants it.
In passing, this commit also cleans up a few regression test files that
had unintended spacing differences from the current actual output.
