Previously read/writing JSON required parsing/render via a variant, which add many more memory allocations and loops.
Instead allow JSON to be read/written serially to improve performance and simplify the code. This also allows us to get rid of many String and Variant constant which are no longer required.
The goal is to be able to read/write very large (e.g. gigabyte manifest) JSON structures, which would not be practical with the current code.
Note that external JSON (GCS, S3, etc) is still handled using variants. Converting these will require more consideration about key ordering since it cannot be guaranteed as in our own formats.
This allows code to run after the return type has been generated in the case where it is an expression.
No new functionality here yet, but this will be used by a future commit that audits memory usage.
Declare variables that will be used by later assertions with the goal of making them easier to read and maintain.
This is particularly useful for variables that are used more than once and require a lot of syntax to extract.
All fields should be alphabetical. Currently the read code is tolerant of this, but that will not always be the case.
Fields are always written alphabetically so this is just a test issue introduced by d8d41321.
This is not a very realistic case since archive start/stop are always written, but it appears in many other unit tests so it should also be tested here.
The correct context is set by the various *Add() functions so these are not needed and cause leaks, though the leaks will only be noticeable in cases where there are a lot of page checksum errors.
This is required for the (currently) single place where a function with test FUNCTION_TEST*() macros does not return.
This allows return to be added to the FUNCTION_TEST_RETURN_VOID() macro, which means return no longer needs to be added when returning from a function early.
Packs support stronger typing than JSON and are more efficient. For the small result sets that we deal with efficiency is probably not very important, but this removes another place where we are using JSON instead of Pack.
Push checking for result struct (e.g. single row) down into PgClient since it has easy access to this information rather than needing to parse the result set to find out.
Refactor all code downstream that depends on PgClient results.
There have been some behavioral changes in libpq which require changes to the test.
Also update the instructions since it is now a bit easier to run against a real cluster.
There is no need to process the stats so a KeyValue is overkill.
Also remove the performance tests that check the stat totals since this is covered in the unit tests.
A missing field and a NULL field are not exactly the same so it seems best to test both.
Because of the way KeyValue objects work the error is the same, but that will not always be true.
The line number was one less than it should have been, which could cause some confusion.
Since this only affected ini files with JSON values, which are always written programmatically, there is almost zero chance this has ever been a problem in the field.
Previously the process id was skipped if it did not exist. Instead, throw an error and handle the errors in downstream code.
This was probably ignored at some point to provide backward-compatibility, but that is no longer required, if it ever was.
This build has started breaking with the following error:
cd .. && perl ${CIRRUS_WORKING_DIR}/test/test.pl --no-gen --make-cmd=gmake --vm=none --vm-max=2 --no-coverage --no-valgrind --module=command --test=backup

Disable the build to unstick the pipeline until this can be fixed.
Sometimes we need to read a lock from another process. This was done two different ways and in the case of cmdStop() was definitely hacky.
Centralize the logic to make it easier to read the locks for another process. This will also make it easier to add new lock data.
When archive-mode-check is disabled and archive-push is running from multiple hosts, it is very likely that the file will already exist with the same checksum, so disable the warning.
However, if the checksums do not match, an error will still be thrown.
Using the path variable directly resulted in a path with (null) in it, which caused the remove to fail.
The pathFull variable already exists for this purpose so use it.
Determining the length of arrays that could be calculated at compile time was a bit piecemeal, with special macros used sometimes and with the math done directly other times.
This macro makes the task easier, uses less space, and automatically adjusts when the type changes.
Most of these looked like copy/paste from a prior required strCatFmt() call.
There is no issue here since strCatFmt() works the same in these cases, but using strCat()/strCatZ() is more efficient.
If a boolean option had an unresolved dependency then the value would be NULL, which meant the dependency would need to be checked in the code to avoid an error. For example, cfgOptionBool(cfgOptOnline) needed to be checked before it was safe to call cfgOptionBool(cfgOptArchiveCheck).
Allow a default for boolean options when they are unresolved to simplify the code. This makes using the options easier and less prone to error. Not all boolean options get a dependency default in this commit, but more may be added in the future.
In offline mode the pg_wal directory is copied, but that is not the same as archive-copy, which copies the exact set of WAL required from the archive.
This flag is purely for informational purposes so there is no live bug here, but the prior behavior was certainly misleading.
For PITR with --type=lsn, attempt to auto-select the appropriate backup set based on the --target LSN provided. Pick the most recent backup where backup-lsn-stop is less than or equal to the provided LSN.
