For now this is only used in testing but there are places where it could be useful in the core code.
Even if that turns out not to be true, it doesn't seem worth implementing a new version in testing just to capture a few values that we already have.
This is to maintain compatibility with the older Perl code that returned the lowest sorted order item in a tie.
For other datatypes the C code returns the same value, often enough at least to not cause churn in the expect tests.
Even though storagePathSync() is a noop when path sync is not supported, it is useful to know in advance if the function will do anything so add the storageFeaturePathSync flag.
The storageFeatureSymLink and storageFeatureHardLink flags are currently informational only since links are not yet implemented in the storage interface.
Adding a manifest to backup.info was migrated to C in 4e4d1f41 but deduplication of the references was missed leading to a reference for every file being added to backup.info.
Since the backup command is still using the Perl version of reconstruct this issue will not express unless 1) there is a backup missing from backup.info and 2) the expire command is run directly instead of running after backup as usual.
This unlikely combination of events means this is probably not a problem in the field.
Archive check does not run when in offline backup mode but the option was set to true in the manifest. It's harmless since these options are informational only but it could cause confusion when debugging.
Test points are not supported by the new C code so these will be replaced with unit tests.
The fact that the tests still pass even when the changes aren't made mid-backup (except application_name) shows how weak they were in the first place.
Even so, this does represent a regression in (soon to be be removed) Perl coverage.
Test points will not be available in the C code so update these tests as best as possible without using them.
This represents a loss of coverage for the Perl code (soon to be removed) which will be made up in the C code with unit tests.
These tests require test points which are not being implemented in the C code.
This functionality is fully tested in the command/control unit tests so integration tests are no longer required.
This expression determines which files contain page checksums but it was also including the directory above the relation directories. In a real PostgreSQL installation this not a problem because these directories don't contain any files.
However, our tests place a file in `base` which the Perl code thought should have page checksums while the new C code says no.
Update the expression to document the change and avoid churn in the expect logs later.
Installing lcov 1.14 everywhere turned out to be a problem just as using 1.13 on Ubuntu 19.04 was.
Since we primarily use Ubuntu 18.04 for coverage testing and reporting, we definitely want to make sure that works. So, revert to using the default packaged lcov except when specified otherwise in VmTest.pm.
PostgreSQL minor version releases are also included since all containers have been rebuilt.
The issue "fixed" in f01aa586 was caused by treating all strings as format strings while logging, which was fixed in 0c05df45.
Revert because there no longer seems a reason for the extra logic, and it was only partially applied, i.e. not to env vars, command-line options, or config options.
Using the same macros for formatted and unformatted logging had several disadvantages.
First, the compiler was unable to verify the format string against the parameters.
Second, legitimate % characters in messages were being interpreted as format characters with garbage output ensuing.
Add _FMT() variants and update all call sites to use the correct variant.
This character causes problems in C and in the shell if we try to output it in an error message.
Forbid it completely and spell it out in error messages to avoid strange effects.
There is likely a better way deal with the issue but this will do for now.
The protocol timeout tests have been superceded by unit tests.
The TEST_BACKUP_RESUME test point was incorrectly included into a number of tests, probably a copy pasto. It didn't hurt anything but it did add 200ms to each test where it appeared.
Catalog and control version tests were redundant. The database version and system id tests covered the important code paths and the C code gets these values from a lookup table.
Finally, fix an incomplete update to the backup.info file while munging for tests.
Using a designated initializer is safer than zeroing the struct. It is also better for debugging because Valgrind should be able to detect access to areas that are not initialized due to alignment.
It is occasionally useful to get information about a file outside of the base storage path. storageLocal() can be used in some cases but when the storage is remote is doesn't seem worth creating a separate storage object for adhoc info requests.
storageInfo() is a read-only operation so this seems pretty safe. The noPathEnforce parameter will make auditing exceptions easy.
The ability to disable enforcement (i.e., the requested absolute path is within the storage path) globally will be removed after the Perl migration.
The feature will still be needed occasionally so allow it in an adhoc fashion.
A . in a link will always lead to an error since the destination will be inside PGDATA. However, it is accepted symlink syntax so it's better to resolve it and get the correct error message.
Also, we may have other uses for this function in the future.
This should have been removed when the support for the option was removed in c7333190.
The option cannot be removed entirely because we don't want to error in the case where --force was specified but the stanza is valid.
Many functions don't take optional parameters, so tacking the struct onto the end was pretty burdensome.
Add macros to get the interface under a variety of circumstances to make this practical.
