If an ok file (which indicates the WAL segment was not found) is present on the first iteration of the loop then remove it and spawn the async process to retry. This action also resets the queue.
Also error if no response is received from the async process rather than returning not found. PostgreSQL will respond the same either way, but this allows us to determine when something is going wrong with the async process.
Update archiveAsyncStatus() to allow warnings to be suppressed. It is better to retry if no WAL segment was found before warning because the warning might be stale.
If an option name has a space at the beginning then it will be considered an invalid command, but a space at the end is an invalid option. Add tests for these conditions.
Spaces in option arguments should be preserved, so add a test to be sure this is true.
Convert most of the remaining options that benefit from being StringIds. Since all the command modules can include config.h directly it makes sense to auto-generate these values instead of manually creating an enum for each one.
For the time being StringIds are not being auto-generated because the StringId code does not exist in Perl. However, the *_Z zero-terminated constants for each allowed option value are now auto-generated.
The CentOS 7 documentation test relies on PostgreSQL 9.5 which has been removed from the yum.p.o repository package. Switch the test to CentOS 8 to fix the immediate issue, but a decision on the PostgreSQL 9.5 documentation will need to be made before the next release.
The tests worked fine on multiple architectures, but would only run "bare metal", i.e. tests that required containers could not be run.
Enable basic multi-architecture support by allowing containers to be built using whatever architecture the host supports. Also allow cached containers to be defined for multiple architectures in container.yaml.
Add a Dockerfile which can be used as a container for other containers to provide a consistent development environment.
The primary goal is to allow development on Mac M1 but other architectures should find these improvements useful.
Allows removal of backupType()/backupTypeStr() and improves debug logging of the enum.
Move BackupType enum and string constants to info/infoBackup.h so they are available to more modules. Also convert InfoBackup to use BackupType instead of a String.
Centralize the formatting of the configuration value for display to the user or passing on a command line.
For the new functions, if the value was set by the user via the command line, config, etc., then that exact value will be displayed. This makes it easier for the user to recognize the value and saves having to format it into something reasonable, especially for time and size option types.
Note that cfgOptTypeHash and cfgOptTypeList option types are not supported by these functions, but they are generally not displayed to the user as a whole.
This also fixes a bug in config/load.c where time values where not being formatted correctly in an error message.
Use StringIds for the storage types (e.g. STORAGE_S3_TYPE) and configuration settings, e.g. cfgOptS3KeyType.
Also add new config functions and harness config functions to support StringIds.
There is no need to write the file atomically (e.g. via a temp file on Posix) because checksums are tested on resume after a failed backup. The path does not need be synced for each file because all paths are synced at the end of the backup.
This functionality was not lost during the migration -- it never existed in the Perl code, though these settings are used in restore. See 59f1353 where backupFile() was migrated to C.
Fix the segfault when getting help for an internal option is requested by adding help for all internal options that are valid for a default command role.
Also print warnings about internal options in code rather than putting in each command/option description.
The enum truncation observed was due to the value getting passed via a protocol function which silently narrowed the enum.
Even so, add some tests to ensure tested platforms support 64-bit enums.
Although kvAdd() works like kvPut() on the first call, kvPut() is more efficient when a key has a single value.
Update the comment to clarify that kvAdd() is seldom required.
Getting help for a valid option that was invalid for the command would segfault.
Add a check to ensure the option is valid for the command's default role.
This lets the compiler know that these variables are not modified which should lead to better optimization.
Smart compilers should be able to figure this out on their own, but marking parameters const is still good for documentation.
It is often useful to represent identifiers as strings when they cannot easily be represented as an enum/integer, e.g. because they are distributed among a number of unrelated modules or need to be passed to remote processes. Strings are also more helpful in debugging since they can be recognized without cross-referencing the source. However, strings are awkward to work with in C since they cannot be directly used in switch statements leading to less efficient if-else structures.
A StringId encodes a short string into an integer so it can be used in switch statements but may also be readily converted back into a string for debugging purposes. StringIds may also be suitable for matching user input providing the strings are short enough.
This patch includes a sample of StringId usage by converting protocol commands to StringIds. There are many other possible use cases. To list a few:
* All "types" in storage, filters. IO , etc. These types are primarily for identification and debugging so they fit well with this model.
* MemContext names would work well as StringIds since these are entirely for debugging.
* Option values could be represented as StringIds which would mean we could remove the functions that convert strings to enums, e.g. CipherType.
* There are a number of places where enums need to be converted back to strings for logging/debugging purposes. An example is protocolParallelJobToConstZ. If ProtocolParallelJobState were defined as:
typedef enum
{
protocolParallelJobStatePending = STRID5("pend", ...),
protocolParallelJobStateRunning = STRID5("run", ...),
protocolParallelJobStateDone = STRID5("done", ...),
} ProtocolParallelJobState;
then protocolParallelJobToConstZ() could be replaced with strIdToZ(). This also applies to many enums that we don't covert to strings for logging, such as CipherMode.
As an example of usage, convert all protocol commands from strings to StringIds.
Restore excluding the specified databases. Databases excluded will be restored as sparse, zeroed files to save space but still allow PostgreSQL to perform recovery. After recovery, those databases will not be accessible but can be removed with the drop database command. The --db-exclude option can be passed multiple times to specify more than one database to exclude.
When used in combination with the --db-include option, --db-exclude will only apply to standard system databases (template0, template1, and postgres).
This function has not been used since the switch to the fork/exec model.
lockClear() was still used in one test (other than the lock test) so update the test and remove the function.
Both NDEBUG and DEBUG were used in the code, which was a bit confusing.
Define DEBUG in build.auto.c so it is available in all C and header files and stop using NDEBUG. This is preferable to using NDEBUG everywhere since there are multiple DEBUG* defines, e.g. DEBUG_COVERAGE.
Note that NDEBUG is still required since it is used by the C libraries.
Inline functions are more efficient and if they are not used are automatically omitted from the binary.
This also makes the implementation of these functions easier to find and removes the need for a declaration. That is, the complete implementation is located in the header rather than being spread between the header and C file.
OBJECT_DEFINE_MOVE() and OBJECT_DEFINE_FREE() will be replaced with inlines so this would be the only macro left that is constructing functions.
It is not a great pattern anyway since it makes it hard to find the function implementation.
This macro was originally intended to simplify the creation of simple getters but it has been superseded by the pattern introduced in 79a2d02c.
Remove instances of OBJECT_DEFINE_GET() to avoid confusion with the new pattern.
Introduce a standard pattern for exposing public struct members (as documented in CODING.md) and use it to inline lstSize() which should improve the performance of iterating large lists.
Since many functions in these modules are just thin wrappers of other functions, inline where appropriate.
Remove strLstExistsZ() and strLstInsertZ() since they were only used in tests, where the String version of the function is sufficient.
Move strLstNewSplitSizeZ() to command/help/help.c and remove strLstNewSplitSize(). This function has only ever been used by help and does not seem widely applicable.

hrnReplaceKey() was added to the TEST_ERROR*() macros in 58760486 but some calls to TEST_ERROR*() already used it. This led to the function being called twice on the same buffer which had no effect but valgrind definitely did not like.
Remove extraneous calls to make valgrind happy. Since this is test code there are no implications for production.
The command-example and command-example-list elements were removed from the documentation rendering some time ago so these tags were dead code. The tags, however, contained some examples and information that were pertinent to the command, so where possible, the information was included in the description of the command and/or the user-guide and links to the relevant user guide sections were added.
Note that some commands could not be updated with user guide references since doing so would cause a cyclical reference in the user guide. These commands have an internal comment to indicate this.
In addition, some clarifications were added (e.g. expire --set option) where information was lacking.
Enabled by default, this option checks the WAL header against the PostgreSQL version and system identifier to ensure that the WAL is being copied to the correct stanza. This is in addition to checking pg_control against the stanza and verifying that WAL is being copied from the same PostgreSQL data directory where pg_control is located.
Therefore, disabling this check is fairly safe but should only be done when required, e.g. if the WAL is encrypted.
