Logging was being enable on local/remote processes even if --log-subprocess was not specified, so fix that.
Also, make sure that stderr is enabled at error level as it was on Perl. This helps expose error information for debugging.
For remotes, suppress log and lock paths since these are not applicable on remote hosts. These options should be set in the local config if they need to be overridden.
None of our C HTTP requests have needed to output a body, but they will with the migration of archive-push.
Also, add constants that are useful when POSTing/PUTing data.
This condition was not being properly checked for in the C code and it caused problems in the info command, at the very least.
Instead of applying a local fix, introduce a new path option type that will rigorously check the format of any incoming paths.
Reported by Marc Cousin.
This command was previously forked off from the archive-push command which required a bit of artificial option and log manipulation.
A separate command is easier to test and will work on platforms that don't have fork(), e.g. Windows.
This driver borrows heavily from the Posix driver.
At this point the only difference is that CIFS does not allow explicit directory fsyncs so they need to be suppressed. At some point the CIFS diver will also omit link support.
With the addition of this driver repository storage is now writable.
This behavior allowed a command like this to run without error:
pgbackrest backup --stanza=db full
Even though it actually performed an incremental backup in most circumstances because the `full` parameter was ignored.
Instead, output an error and exit.
Suggested by Jason O'Donnell.
This warning was being output when getting help if retention was not set:
WARN: option repo1-retention-full is not set, the repository may run out of space
Suppress this when getting help since the warning will display by default on a system that is not completely configured.
This is very inefficient in terms of memory and time and dynamic context names were never utilized.
Just require that context names be valid for the life of the context.
In practice they are all static strings.
Allocations required a sequential scan through the allocation list for both contexts and memory. This was very inefficient since for the most part individual memory allocations are seldom freed directly, rather they are freed when their context is freed.
For both types of allocations track an index for the lowest free position. After an allocation of the free position, a sequential search will be required for the next allocation but this is still far better than doing a scan for every allocation.
With a moderately-sized dataset (500 history entries in backup.info), there is a 237X performance improvement when combined with the f74e88bb refactor.
Before:
% cumulative self
time seconds seconds name
65.11 331.37 331.37 memContextAlloc
16.19 413.78 82.40 memContextCurrent
14.74 488.81 75.03 memContextTop
2.65 502.29 13.48 memContextNewIndex
1.18 508.31 6.02 memFind
After:
% cumulative self
time seconds seconds name
94.69 2.14 2.14 memFind
Finding memory allocations in order to free or resize them is the next bottleneck, but this does not seem to be a major issue presently.
The command option was not being set correctly when a remote was started from a local. It was being set as 'local' rather than the command that the local was running as.
Also automatically select the remote protocol id based on whether it is started from a local (use the local protocol id) or from the main process (use 0).
These were not live issues but could cause strange behaviors as new features are added that might be hard to diagnose.
This new implementation should behave exactly like the old Perl code with the exception of a few updated log messages.
Remove as much of the Perl code as possible without breaking other commands.
The C local is only used for C commands in the main process.
Some tweaking of the existing protocolGet() command was required. Originally the idea was to share the function for local and remote requests but the differences (as in Perl) were too great to make that practical.
Some IO objects have file descriptors which can be useful for monitoring with select().
It might also be useful to expose handles for write objects but there is currently no use case.
There was a lot of extra boilerplate involved in setting up pipes so that is now automated.
In some cases testing with multiple children is useful so allow that as well.
Update error message with the hostname and more detail about what went wrong. Hopefully this will help in diagnosing certificate/hostname issues.
Suggested by James Badger.
We have been using a hacked-up JSON generator to pass options from C to Perl since the C binary was introduced. This generator was not very compliant which led to issues with \n, ", etc. inside strings.
We have a fully-compliant JSON generator now so use that instead.
Reported by Leo Khomenko.
The remote protocol was calling into the Storage object but this required some translation which will get more awkward as time goes by.
Instead, call directly into the local driver so the communication is directly driver to driver. This still requires resolving the path and may eventually have more duplication with the Storage object methods but it seems the right thing to do.
Expressions such as <REPO:ARCHIVE> require a stanza name in order to be resolved correctly. However, if the stanza name is passed to the remote then that remote will only work correctly for that one stanza.
Instead, resolved the expressions locally but still pass a relative path to the remote. That way, a storage path that is only configured on the remote does not need to be known locally.
This issue was a result of STORAGE_REPO_PATH prepending an extra stanza when the stanza was specified on the command line.
The tests missed this because by some strange coincidence the WAL dirs were empty for each test that specified a stanza. Add new tests to prevent a regression.
Fixed by Stefan Fercot.
Free all cached objects in the storage helper, especially the stanza name.
This clears the storage environment for tests that switch stanza names or go from a stanza name to no stanza name or vice versa. This is only useful for testing right now, but may be used in the future for commands than act on multiple stanzas.
This command was previously forked off from the archive-get command which required a bit of artificial option and log manipulation.
A separate command is easier to test and will work on platforms that don't have fork(), e.g. Windows.
Prior to this the Perl remote was used to satisfy C requests. This worked fine but since the remote needed to be migrated to C anyway there was no reason to wait.
Add the ProtocolServer object and tweak ProtocolClient to work with it. It was also necessary to add a mechanism to get option values from the remote so that encryption settings could be read and used in the storage object.
Update the remote storage objects to comply with the protocol changes and add the storage protocol handler.
Ideally this commit would have been broken up into smaller chunks but there are cross-dependencies in the protocol layer and it didn't seem worth the extra effort.
The file write object destructors called close() and finalized the file even if it was not completely written. This was an issue in both the C and Perl code.
Rewrite the destructors to simply free resources (like file handles) rather than calling the close() method. This leaves the temp file in place for filesystems that use temp files.
Add unit tests to prevent regression.
Reported by blogh.
This was not being caught because the integration tests for S3 were running remotely and going through the Perl code rather than the new C code.
Implement the exists method for the S3 driver and add tests to prevent a regression.
Reported by mibiio.
This already worked in reverse, but this case is needed when a command that only uses protocol-timeout (e.g. info) calls a remote process where protocol-timeout and db-timeout can be set. If protocol-timeout was set to less than the default db-timeout then an error resulted.
Rather than create _P/_PP variants for every type that needs to pass/return pointers, create FUNCTION_*_P/PP() macros that will properly pass or return any single/double pointer types.
There remain a few unresolved edge cases such as CHARPY but this handles the majority of types well.
The string object was reallocating memory with every concatenation which is not very efficient. This is especially true for JSON rendering which does a lot of concatenations.
Instead allocate a pool of extra memory on the first concatenation (50% of size) to be used for future concatenations and reallocate when needed.
Also add a 1GB size limit to ensure that there are no overflows.
Multiple status files were being created by asynchronous archiving if a high-level error occurred after one or more WAL segments had already been transferred successfully. Error files were being written for every file in the queue regardless of whether it had already succeeded. To fix this, add an option to skip writing error files when an ok file already exists.
There are other situations where both files might exist (various fsync and filesystem error scenarios) so it seems best to retry in the case that multiple status files are found rather than throwing a hard error (which then means that archiving is completely stuck). In the case of multiple status files, a warning will be logged to alert the user that something unusual is happening and the command will be retried.
Reported by fpa-postgres, Joe Ayers, Douglas J Hunley.
The implementation using gethostbyname() was only intended to be used during prototyping but was forgotten when the code was finalized.
Replace it with gettaddrinfo() which is more modern and supports IPv6.
Suggested by Bruno Friedmann.
Rename FUNCTION_DEBUG_* macros to FUNCTION_LOG_* to more accurately reflect what they do. Further rename FUNCTION_DEBUG_RESULT* macros to FUNCTION_LOG_RETURN* to make it clearer that they return from the function as well as logging. Leave FUNCTION_TEST_* macros as they are.
Consolidate the various ASSERT* macros into a single ASSERT macro that is always compiled out of production builds. It was difficult to figure out when an assert would be checked with all the different types in play. When ASSERTs are compiled in they will always be checked regardless of the log level -- tying these two concepts together was not a good idea.
This is a partial implementation of remote storage with just enough functionality to get the info command working. The client is written in C but the server is still in Perl, which limits progress until a C server is written.
This is a complete protocol client implementation in C.
Currently there is no C server implementation so the C client is talking to a Perl server. This won't work very long, though, as the protocol format, even though in JSON, has a lot of language-specific structure. While it would be possible to maintain compatibility between C and Perl it's probably not worth the effort in the long run.
Just as in Perl there are helper functions to make constructing protocol objects easier. Currently only repository remotes are supported.
Executes a child process and allows the calling process to communicate with it using read/write io.
This object is specially tailored to implement the protocol layer and may or may not be generally applicable to general purpose
execution.
Parameters for the local/remote commands are based on parameters that are passed to the current command.
Generate parameters for the new command based on the intersection of parameters between the current command and the command to be executed.
General i/o objects for reading and writing file descriptors, in particular those that can block. In other words, these are not generally to be used with file descriptors for actual files, but rather pipes, sockets, etc.
The C code can't get the cipher type from the storage object because the C storage object does not have encryption baked in like the Perl code does.
Instead, check backup.info to see if encryption is enabled. This will need to rethought if another cipher type is added but for now it works fine.
Replace the repository path with just "the repository". The path is not important in this context and it is clearer to state where the stanzas are missing from.
The prior behavior was to throw an exception but this was not very helpful when something unexpected happened. Better to at least emit the error message even if the error code is not very helpful.
There were some small differences in ordering and how the C version handled missing directories. It may be that the C version is more consistent, but for now it is more important to be compatible with the Perl version.
These differences were missed because the C info command was not wired into main.c so it was not being tested in regression. This commit does not fix the wiring issue because there will likely be a release soon and it is too big a change to put in at the last moment.
Casting to int caused large values to be slightly inaccurate so cast to uint64_t instead.
Also, use multiplication where possible since the compiler should precompute multiplied values.
SIGPIPE immediately terminates the process but we would rather catch the EPIPE error and gracefully shutdown.
Ignore SIGPIPE and throw the EPIPE error via normal error handling.
Including the C module after the headers required for testing meant that if headers were missing from the C module they were not caught while directly testing the C module.
The missing headers were caught in general testing, but it is frustrating to get an error in a module that has already passed while testing another module or running CI.
Move the C module include to the very top so missing headers cause immediate failures.
Admonitions call out places where the user should take special care.
Support added for HTML, PDF, Markdown and help text renderers. XML files have been updated accordingly.

After a stanza-upgrade backups for the old cluster are displayed until they expire. Cluster info was output newest to oldest which meant after an upgrade the most recent backup would no longer be output last.
Update the text output ordering so the most recent backup is always output last.
Contributed by Cynthia Shang.
Suggested by Ryan Lambert.
The info command will only be executed in C if the repository is local, i.e. not located on a remote repository host. S3 is considered "local" in this case.
This is a direct migration from Perl to integrate as seamlessly with the remaining Perl code as possible. It should not be possible to determine if the C version is running unless debug-level logging is enabled.
Contributed by Cynthia Shang.
The infoBackup object is the counterpart to the infoArchive object which encapsulates the archive.info file.
Currently the object is read-only, i.e. it is not possible to create a new or modify an existing backup.info file.
There a number of constants that will also be used in the infoManifest object so go ahead and create a module to contain them so they don't need to be moved later.
Contributed by Cynthia Shang.
Some commands (e.g. info) do not take a stanza or the stanza is optional. In that case it is the job of the command to construct the repository path with a stanza as needed.
Update helper functions to omit the stanza from the constructed path when it is NULL.

- Add detail to errors when info files are loaded with incorrect encryption settings.
- Throw FileMissingError rather than FileOpenError when both copies of the info file are missing.
- If one file is present (but errors) and the other is missing, then return the error for the file that was present.
Contributed by Cynthia Shang.
The previous error message only showed the last error. In addition, some errors were missed (such as directory permission errors) that could prevent the copy from being checked.
Show both errors below a generic "unable to load" error. Details are now given explaining exactly why the primary and copy failed.
Previously if one file could not be loaded a warning would be output. This has been removed because it is not clear what the user should do in this case. Should they do a stanza-create --force? Maybe the best idea is to automatically repair the corrupt file, but on the other hand that might just spread corruption if pgBackRest makes the wrong choice.
The decryption filter was added in archiveGetFile() and archiveGetCheck() was modified to return the WAL decryption key stored in archive.info. The rest was plumbing.
The mock/archive/1 integration test added encryption to provide coverage for the new code paths while mock/archive/2 dropped encryption to provide coverage for the existing code paths. This caused some churn in the expect logs but there was no change in behavior.
If InOut filters were placed next to each other then the second filter would never get a NULL input signaling it to flush. This arrangement only worked if the second filter had some other indication that it should flush, such as a decompression filter where the flush is indicated in the input stream.
This is not a live issue because currently no InOut filters are chained together.
This allows CipherBlock to be used as a filter in an IoFilterGroup. The C-style functions used by Perl are now deprecated and should not be used for any new code.
Also add functions to convert between cipher names and CipherType.
Some of the old names conflict with the new functions that must be created to implement the filter. Rename these to cipherBlock*C() to indicate that they take C-style parameters.
These functions are only used by the Perl LibC code and will be removed or refactored eventually.
If the connection closed before all content was sent httpClientRead() would get stuck in an infinite loop waiting for it to arrive.
EOF should never be reached during content read so immediately error if EOF is detected.
Add boolean and one-dimensional list types to jsonToKv().
Add varToJson() and kvToJson() to convert Variants and KeyValues to JSON.

TlsClient introduced a non-blocking read which is required to read protocol messages that are linefeed-terminated rather than a known size. However, in many cases the expected number of bytes is known in advance so in that case it is more efficient to have tlsClientRead() block until all the bytes are read.
Add block parameter to all read functions and use it when a blocking read is required. For most read functions this is a noop, i.e. if the read function never blocks then it can ignore the parameter.
In passing, set the log level of storageNew*() functions to debug to expose more high-level I/O operations.
A robust HTTP client with pipelining support and automatic retries.
Using a single object to make multiple requests is more efficient because requests are pipelined whenever possible. Requests are automatically retried when the connection has been closed by the server. Any 5xx response is also retried.
Only the HTTPS protocol is currently supported.
A simple, secure TLS client intended to allow access to services that are exposed via HTTPS. We call it TLS instead of SSL because SSL methods are disabled so only TLS connections are allowed.
This object is intended to be used for multiple TLS connections against a service so tlsClientOpen() can be called each time a new connection is needed. By default, an open connection will be reused for pipelining so the user must be prepared to retry their transaction on a read/write error if the server closes the connection before it can be reused. If this behavior is not desirable then tlsClientClose() may be used to ensure that the next call to tlsClientOpen() will create a new TLS session.
Note that tlsClientRead() is non-blocking unless there are *zero* bytes to be read from the session in which case it will raise an error after the defined timeout. In any case the tlsClientRead()/tlsClientWrite()/tlsClientEof() functions should not generally be called directly. Instead use the read/write interfaces available from tlsClientIoRead()/tlsClientIoWrite().
Add XmlDocument, XmlNode, and XmlNodeList objects as a thin interface layer on libxml2.
This interface is not intended to be comprehensive. Only a few libxml2 capabilities are exposed but more can be added as needed.
This allows a C unit test to access data in the code repository that might be useful for testing.
Add testRepoPathSet() to set the repository path.
In passing remove extra whitespace in the TEST_RESULT_VOID() macro.
This commit introduced PGBACKREST_CONFIG_ORIG_PATH_FILE_STR as a String constant for PGBACKREST_CONFIG_ORIG_PATH_FILE but failed to get the value correct.
Also, no test was added for PGBACKREST_CONFIG_ORIG_PATH_FILE_STR to prevent regressions as there is for PGBACKREST_CONFIG_ORIG_PATH_FILE.
These interfaces previously used the memory context of the object they were associated with and did not have their own destructors.
There are times when it is useful to free the interface without also freeing the underlying object so give IoRead and IoWrite their own memory contexts and destructors.
In passing fix a comment type in bufferRead.c.
By default the IoWrite object does not write until the output buffer is full but this is a problem for protocol messages that must be sent in order to get a response.
ioWriteFlush() is not called internally by IoWrite but can be used at any time to immediately write all bytes from the output buffer without closing the IoWrite object.
The prior message stated that there had been a buffer overrun which is not true since the code prevents that.
In fact, this message means the parameter buffer filled while building the parameter list. Rather than display a partial list we output this message instead.
Also remove !!! which by convention we use as a marker for code that needs attention before it can be committed to master.
These macros provide a convenient way to output debug information in tests.
They are not intended to be left in test code when it is committed to master.
ioReadLine() calls ioRead(), which aggressively tries to fill the output buffer, but this doesn't play well with blocking reads.
Give ioReadLine() an option that tells it to read only what is available. That doesn't mean the function will never block but at least it won't do so by reading too far.
There are many places (and the number is growing) where a zero-terminated string constant must be transformed into a String object to be usable. This pattern wastes time and memory, especially since the created string is generally used in a read-only fashion.
Define macros to create constant String objects that are initialized at compile time rather than at run time.
The storageList() command accepts a regular expression as a filter. This works fine for local filesystems where it is relatively cheap to get a complete list of files and filter them in code. However, for remote filesystems like S3 it can be expensive to fetch a complete list of files only to discard the bulk of them locally.
S3 does not filter on regular expressions but it can accept a static prefix so this function extracts a prefix from a regular expression when possible.
Even a few characters can drastically reduce the amount of data that must be fetched remotely so the function does not try to be too clever. It requires a ^ anchor and stops scanning when the first special character is found.
Allow buffers to report a lower size than their allocated size. This means a larger buffer can be used to do the work of a smaller buffer without having to create a new buffer and concatenate.
This is useful for blocking I/O where the buffer may be too large for the amount of data that is available to read.
The Wait object accepted a double in the constructor for wait time but used TimeMSec internally. This was done for compatibility with the Perl code.
Instead, use TimeMSec in the Wait constructor and make changes as needed to calling code.
Note that Perl still uses a double for its Wait object so translation is needed in some places. There are no plans to update the Perl code as it will become obsolete.
If an object free() method was called manually when a callback was set then the callback would call free() again. This meant that each free() method had to protect against a subsequent call.
Instead, clear the callback (if present) before calling memContextFree(). This is faster (since there is no unecessary callback) and removes the need for semaphores to protect against a double free().
Improve on 7794ab50 by including the build flag files directly into the Makefile as dependencies (even though they are not includes). This simplifies some of the rsync logic and allows make to do what it does best.
Also split build flag files into test, harness, and build to reduce rebuilds. Test flags are used to build test.c, harness flags are used to build the rest of the files in the test harness, and build flags are used for the files that are not directly involved in testing.
The C code was warning on failure and continuing but the Perl logging code was never updated with the same feature.
Rather than add the feature to Perl, just disable file logging if the log file cannot be opened. Log files are always opened by C first, so this will eliminate the error in Perl.
Reported by vthriller.
The existing tests were not adequate to ensure the history was being added in the correct order when some entries were loaded from a file and others added with infoPgAdd().
Contributed by Cynthia Shang.
The InfoPg object was partially modified in 960ad732 to place the current history item in position 0, but infoPgDataCurrent() didn't get updated correctly.
Remove this->indexCurrent and make the current position always equal 0. Use the new lstInsert() function when adding new history items via infoPgAdd(), but continue to use lstAdd() when loading from a file for efficiency.
This does not appear to be a live bug because infoPgDataCurrent() and infoPgAdd() are not yet used in any production code. The archive-get command is the only C code using InfoPG and it always looks at the entire list of items rather than just the current item.
Suggested by Cynthia Shang.
Allow a single linefeed-terminated line to be read or written. This is useful for various protocol implementations, including HTTP and pgBackRest's protocol.
On read the maximum line size is limited to buffer-size to prevent runaway memory usage in case a linefeed is not found. This seems fine for HTTP but we may need to revisit this decision when implementing the pgBackRest protocol. Another option would be to increase the minimum buffer size (currently 16KB).
This test has been flapping since 9b9396c7. It seems to be some kind of timing issue since all integration tests pass and this unit passes on all other VMs. It only happens on Travis and is not reproducible in any development environment that we have tried.
For now, disable the test since the constant flapping is causing major delays in testing and quite a bit of time has been spent trying to identify the root cause. We are actively developing these tests and hope the issue will be identified during the course of normal development.
A number of improvements were made to the tests while searching for this issue. While none of them helped, it makes sense to keep the improvements.
Duplicating a non-multi-value option was not throwing the correct message when the option was a boolean.
The reason was that the option was being validated as a boolean before the multi-value check was being done. The validation code assumed it was operating on a string but was instead operating on a string list causing an assertion to fail.
Since it's not safe to do the multi-value check so late, move it up to the command-line and configuration file parse phases instead.
Reported by Jesper St John.
Previously this was done in two separate places by checking if an option was type hash or list.
Bad enough that it was in two places, but an upcoming bug fix will add another instance so make it a function.
There doesn't seem to be any need to implement this as a filter since current use cases (S3 authentication) work on small datasets.
So, use the single function method provided by OpenSSL for simplicity.
This constructor creates a Buffer object directly from a zero-terminated string. The old way was to create a String object first, then convert that to a Buffer using bufNewStr().
Updated in all places that used the old pattern.
PostgreSQL 11 introduces configurable WAL segment sizes, from 1MB to 1GB.
There are two areas that needed to be updated to support this: building the archive-get queue and checking that WAL has been archived after a backup. Both operations require the WAL segment size to properly build a list.
Checking the archive after a backup is still implemented in Perl and has an active database connection, so just get the WAL segment size from the database.
The archive-get command does not have a connection to the database, so get the WAL segment size from pg_control instead. This requires a deeper inspection of pg_control than has been done in the past, so it seemed best to copy the relevant data structures from each version of PostgreSQL and build a generic interface layer to address them. While this approach is a bit verbose, it has the advantage of being relatively simple, and can easily be updated for new versions of PostgreSQL.
Since the integration tests generate pg_control files for testing, teach Perl how to generate files with the correct offsets for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
Use checksums rather than timestamps to determine if files have changed. This is useful in cases where the timestamps may not be trustworthy, e.g. when performing an incremental after failing over to a standby.
If checksum delta is enabled then checksums will be used for verification of resumed backups, even if they are full. Resumes have always used checksums to verify the files in the repository, enabling delta performs checksums on the database files as well.
Note that the user must manually enable this feature in cases were it would be useful or just keep in enabled all the time. A future commit will address automatically enabling the feature in cases where it seems likely to be useful.

As we add storage drivers it's important to keep the tests for each completely separate. Rather than have three tests for each driver, standardize on having a single test unit for each driver.
For read-only repositories the Posix and CIFS drivers behave exactly the same. Since that's all we support in C right now it's valid to treat them as the same thing. An assertion has been added to remind us to add the CIFS driver before allowing the repository to be writable.
Mostly we want to make sure that the C code does not blow up when the repository type is CIFS.
Previously it was the responsibility of the individual tests to clean up after themselves. Now the test harness now does the cleanup automatically.
This means that some paths/files need to be recreated with each run but that doesn't happen very often.
An attempt has been made to remove all redundant cleanup code but it's hard to know if everything has been caught. No issues will be caused by anything that was missed, but they will continue to chew up time in the tests.
Storing the expect log (created by common/harnessLog) in the regular test directory was not ideal. It showed up in tests and made it difficult to clear the test directory between each run.
Move the expect log to a purpose-built directory one level up so it does not interfere with regular testing.
These are separated the same way in the Perl code where the remote storage driver is located in the Protocol module. However, in the C code the intention is to implement the remote storage driver as a regular driver in the storage layer rather than making a special case out of it.
So, merge the storage helpers. This also has the benefit of making the code a bit simpler.
Also separate storageSpool() and storageSpoolWrite() to make it clearer which operations require write access and to maintain consistency with the other storage helper functions.
If the total bytes read from the expect log file was 0 then the last byte of whatever was in memory before harnessLogBuffer would be set to 0.
On 32-bit systems this expressed as the high order byte of a pointer being cleared and wackiness (in the form of segfaults) ensued.
Fixed parameter constructors made adding new interface functions a burden, so we switched to using structs to define interfaces in the storage module at c49eaec7.
While propagating this pattern to the IO interfaces it became obvious that the existing variable parameter function pattern (begun in the storage module) was more succinct and consistent with the existing code.
So, use variable parameter functions to define all interfaces. This assumes that the non-interface parameters will be fixed, which seems reasonable for low-level code.
The external storage interfaces (Storage, StorageFileRead, etc.) have been stable for a while, but internally they were calling the posix driver functions directly.
Create driver interfaces for storage, fileRead, and fileWrite and remove all references to the posix driver outside storage/driver/posix (with the exception of a direct call to pathRemove() in Perl LibC).
Posix is still the only available driver so more adjustment may be needed, but this should represent the bulk of the changes.
The posix driver was developed over time and the naming is not very consistent.
Rename the files and functions to work well with other drivers and generally favor longer names since the driver functions are seldom (eventually never) used outside the driver itself.
The Storage object represents some some optional parameters as negated if the default is true. This allows sensible defaults without having to specify most optional parameters.
However, there's no need to propagate this down to functions that require all parameters to be passed -- it makes the code and logging more confusing. Rename the parameters and update logic to remove negations.
Previously, debug log functions had to handle NULLs and truncate output to the available buffer size. This was verbose for both coding and testing.
Instead, create a function/macro combination that allows log functions to return a simple String object. The wrapper function takes care of the memory context, handles NULLs, and truncates the log string based on the available buffer size.
The archive-get command will only be executed in C if the repository is local, unencrypted, and type posix or cifs. Admittedly a limited use case, but this is just the first step in migrating the archive-get command entirely into C.
This is a direct migration from the Perl code (including messages) to integrate as seamlessly with the remaining Perl code as possible. It should not be possible to determine if the C version is running unless debug-level logging is enabled.
The lock is now released before the fork and reacquired after the fork so the parent process no longer needs to worry about clearing the lock.
This is the same locking mechanism that will be used once archive-get-async is exec'd as a separate command, so introduce it now to simplify testing.
The info messages were spread around and logged differently based on the execution path and in some cases logged nothing at all.
Temporarily track the async server status with a flag so that info messages are not output in the async process. The async process will be refactored as a separate command to be exec'd in a future commit.
By default Valgrind does not exit with an error code when a non-fatal error is detected, e.g. unfreed memory. Use the --error-exitcode option to enabled this behavior.
Update some minor issues discovered in the tests as a result. Luckily, no issues were missed in the core code.
Basic functions to detect the presence of stanza or all stop files and error when they are present.
The functionality to detect stop files without error was not migrated. This functionality is only used by stanza-delete and will be migrated with that command.
Implement rules for generating paths within the archive part of the repository. Add a helper function, storageRepo(), to create the repository storage based on configuration settings.
The repository storage helper is located in the protocol module because it will support remote file systems in the future, just as the Perl version does.
Also, improve the existing helper functions a bit using string functions that were not available when they were written.
Use JSON code now that it is available and remove temporary hacks used to get things working initially.
Use passed storage objects rather than using storageLocal(). All storage objects in C are still local but this won't always be the case.
Also, move Postgres version conversion functions to postgres/info.c since they have no dependency on the info objects and will likely be useful elsewhere.
A return code of 1 from the archive-get was being logged as an error message at info level but otherwise worked correctly.
Also improve info messages when an archive segment is or is not found.
The Perl functions do so and the integration tests rely on checking for these errors. This has been exposed as more functionality is moved into C.
Passing the errors types is now a bit complicated so instead use a flag to determine which errors to throw.
The log-subprocess feature added in 22765670 failed to take into account the naming for remote processes spawned by local processes. Not only was the local command used for the naming of log files but the process id was not pass through. This meant every remote log was named "[stanza]-local-remote-000" which is confusing and meant multiple processes were writing to the same log.
Instead, pass the real command and process id to the remote. This required a minor change in locking to ignore locks if process id is greater than 0 since remotes started by locals never lock.
When environment variables were added in d0b9f986 they were classified as cfgSourceParam, but one of the restrictions on this type is that they can't pass secrets because they might be exposed in the process list.
The solution is to reclassify environment variables as cfgSourceConfig. This allows them to handle secrets because they will not pass values to subprocesses as parameters. Instead, each subprocess is expected to check the environment directly during configuration parsing.
In passing, move the error about secrets being passed on the command-line up to command-line parsing and make the error more generic with respect to the configuration file now that multiple configuration files are allowed.
This allows setting the test log level independently from the general test harness setting, but current only works for the C tests. It is useful for seeing log output from functions on the console while a test is running.
common/harnessLog was not ideally suited for general testing and made all the tests quite awkward. Instead, move all code used to test the common/log module into the logTest module and repurpose common/harnessLog to do log expect testing for all other tests in a cleaner way.
Add a few exceptions for config testing since the log levels are reset by default in config/parse.
This is more efficient overall and allows the caller to specify how many bytes will be read on each call. Reads are appended if the buffer already contains data but the buffer size will never increase.
Allow Buffer object "used size" to be different than "allocated size". Add functions to manage used size and remaining size and update automatically when possible.
Use strtoll() instead of sprintf() for conversion. Also use available integer min/max constants rather than hard-coded values.

Low-level functions only include stack trace in test builds while higher-level functions ship with stack trace built-in. Stack traces include all parameters passed to the function but production builds only create the parameter list when the log level is set high enough, i.e. debug or trace depending on the function.
pgBackRest currently has no way to request new credentials so the entire command (e.g. backup, restore) must complete before the credentials expire.

* Add storageCopy(), storageMove(), and storagePathSync().
* Separate StorageFile object into separate read and write objects.
* Abstract out Posix file read/write objects.
Configuration files are loaded from the directory specified by the --config-include-path option.
Add --config-path option for overriding the default base path of the --config and --config-include-path option.

Mainly this helps with unit tests that need to do log expect testing. Add harnessCfgLoad() test function, which allows a new config to be loaded for unit testing without resetting log functions, opening a log file, or taking locks.
The Perl process was exiting directly when called but that interfered with proper locking for the forked async process. Now Perl returns results to the C process which handles all errors, including signals.
Now only two types of locks can be taken: archive and backup. Most commands use one or the other but the stanza-* commands acquire both locks. This provides better protection than the old command-based locking scheme.
This implementation should be faster because it does not stat each file. It simply assumes that most directory entries are files so attempts an unlink() first. If the entry is reported by error codes to be a directory then it attempts an rmdir().
This makes it easier to create objects and then copy them to another context when they are complete without having to worry about freeing them on error. Update List, StringList, and Buffer to allow moves. Update Ini and Storage to take advantage of moves.
lcov requires default to show complete coverage but --Wswitch-enum enforces all enum values be present so no default is needed.
Add documentation for each branch exclusion.
Switch from Devel::Cover because it would not report on branch coverage for reports converted from gcov.
Branch coverage is not complete, so for the time being errors will only be generated when statement coverage is not complete. Coverage of unit tests is not displayed in the report unless they are incomplete for either statement or branch coverage.
Since pgBackRest would not pass secure options on to sub-processes an obscure error was thrown. The new error is much clearer and provides hints about how to fix the problem.
Update command documentation to omit secure options that cannot be specified on the command-line.

Move command begin to C except when it must be called after another command in Perl (e.g. expire after backup). Command begin logs correctly for complex data types like hash and list. Specify which commands will log to file immediately and set the default log level for log messages that are common to all commands. File logging is initiated from C.
1) Error when the same option is defined multiple times in a section using alternate names.
2) Fix logging of invalid command error.
3) Warn when a stanza-only option is in a global section.
Also, make a note to add validation of section names to the check command.
