When result_is_int is set to 0, PQfn() cannot validate that the
result fits in result_buf, so it will write data beyond the end of
the buffer when the server returns more data than requested. Since
this function is insecurable and obsolete, add a warning to the top
of the pertinent documentation advising against its use.
The only in-tree caller of PQfn() is the frontend large object
interface. To fix that, add a buf_size parameter to
pqFunctionCall3() that is used to protect against overruns, and use
it in a private version of PQfn() that also accepts a buf_size
parameter.

Several functions could overflow their size calculations, when presented
with very large inputs from remote and/or untrusted locations, and then
allocate buffers that were too small to hold the intended contents.
Switch from int to size_t where appropriate, and check for overflow
conditions when the inputs could have plausibly originated outside of

still possible, but these will be fixed separately.) A version of
add_size() is ported from the backend to assist with code that performs

Backpatch-through: 13
This patch generalizes libpq's existing single-row mode to allow
individual partial-result PGresults to contain up to N rows, rather
than always one row. This reduces malloc overhead compared to plain
single-row mode, and it is very useful for psql's FETCH_COUNT feature,
since otherwise we'd have to add code (and cycles) to either merge
single-row PGresults into a bigger one or teach psql's
results-printing logic to accept arrays of PGresults.
To avoid API breakage, PQsetSingleRowMode() remains the same, and we
add a new function PQsetChunkedRowsMode() to invoke the more general
case. Also, PGresults obtained the old way continue to carry the
PGRES_SINGLE_TUPLE status code, while if PQsetChunkedRowsMode() is
used then their status code is PGRES_TUPLES_CHUNK. The underlying
logic is the same either way, though.

The logic to keep the libpq command queue in sync with queries that have
been processed had a bug when errors were returned for reasons other
than problems in queries -- for example, when a connection is lost. We
incorrectly consumed an element from the command queue every time, but
this is wrong and can lead to the queue becoming empty ahead of time,
leading to later malfunction: PQgetResult would return nothing,
potentially causing the calling application to enter a busy loop.
Fix by making the SYNC queue element a barrier that can only be consumed
when a SYNC message is received.

int PQsendClosePrepared(PGconn *conn, const char *stmt);

The "send" routines are non-blocking versions of the two others.
Close messages are part of the protocol but they did not have a libpq

The implementation takes advantage of what the Describe routines rely on

We were going into IDLE state too soon when executing queries via
PQsendQuery in pipeline mode, causing several scenarios to misbehave in
different ways -- most notably, as reported by Daniele Varrazzo, that a
warning message is produced by libpq:
message type 0x33 arrived from server while idle
But it is also possible, if queries are sent and results consumed not in
lockstep, for the expected mediating NULL result values from PQgetResult
to be lost (a problem which has not been reported, but which is more
serious).
Fix this by introducing two new concepts: one is a command queue element
PGQUERY_CLOSE to tell libpq to wait for the CloseComplete server
response to the Close message that is sent by PQsendQuery. Because the
application is not expecting any PGresult from this, the mechanism to
consume it is a bit hackish.
The other concept, authored by Horiguchi-san, is a PGASYNC_PIPELINE_IDLE
state for libpq's state machine to differentiate "really idle" from
merely "the idle state that occurs in between reading results from the
server for elements in the pipeline". This makes libpq not go fully
IDLE when the libpq command queue contains entries; in normal cases, we
only go IDLE once at the end of the pipeline, when the server response
to the final SYNC message is received. (However, there are corner cases
it doesn't fix, such as terminating the query sequence by
PQsendFlushRequest instead of PQpipelineSync; this sort of scenario is
what requires PGQUERY_CLOSE bit above.)
This last bit helps make the libpq state machine clearer; in particular
we can get rid of an ugly hack in pqParseInput3 to avoid considering
IDLE as such when the command queue contains entries.
A new test mode is added to libpq_pipeline.c to tickle some related
problematic cases.

Commit 618c16707 invented an "error_result" flag in PGconn, which
intends to represent the state that we have an error condition and
need to build a PGRES_FATAL_ERROR PGresult from the message text in
conn->errorMessage, but have not yet done so. (Postponing construction
of the error object simplifies dealing with out-of-memory conditions
and with concatenation of messages for multiple errors.) For nearly all
purposes, this "virtual" PGresult object should act the same as if it
were already materialized. But a couple of places in fe-protocol3.c
didn't get that memo, and were only testing conn->result as they used
to, without also checking conn->error_result.
In hopes of reducing the probability of similar mistakes in future,
I invented a pgHavePendingResult() macro that includes both tests.

Since commit ffa2e4670, libpq accumulates text in conn->errorMessage
across a whole query cycle. In some situations, we may report more
than one error event within a cycle: the easiest case to reach is
where we report a FATAL error message from the server, and then a
bit later we detect loss of connection. Since, historically, each
error PGresult bears the entire content of conn->errorMessage,
this results in duplication of the FATAL message in any output that
concatenates the contents of the PGresults.
Accumulation in errorMessage still seems like a good idea, especially
in view of the number of places that did ad-hoc error concatenation
before ffa2e4670. So to fix this, let's track how much of
conn->errorMessage has been read out into error PGresults, and only
include new text in later PGresults. The tricky part of that is
to be sure that we never discard an error PGresult once made (else
we'd risk dropping some text, a problem much worse than duplication).
While libpq formerly did that in some code paths, a little bit of
rearrangement lets us postpone making an error PGresult at all until
we are about to return it.
A side benefit of that postponement is that it now becomes practical
to return a dummy static PGresult in cases where we hit out-of-memory
while trying to manufacture an error PGresult. This eliminates the
admittedly-very-rare case where we'd return NULL from PQgetResult,
indicating successful query completion, even though what actually
happened was an OOM failure.

Commit ffa2e4670 changed libpq so that multiple error reports
occurring during one operation (a connection attempt or query)
are accumulated in conn->errorMessage, where before new ones
usually replaced any prior error. At least in theory, that makes
us more vulnerable to running out of memory for the errorMessage
buffer. If it did happen, the user would be left with just an
empty-string error report, which is pretty unhelpful.
We can improve this by relying on pqexpbuffer.c's existing "broken
buffer" convention to track whether we've hit OOM for the current
operation's error string, and then substituting a constant "out of
memory" string in the small number of places where the errorMessage
is read out.
While at it, apply the same method to similar OOM cases in
pqInternalNotice and pqGetErrorNotice3.
Back-patch to v14 where ffa2e4670 came in. In principle this could
go back further; but in view of the lack of field reports, the

An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string
could cause various processing loops to run past the string's
terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to
a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following
memory.
This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify
the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing
on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code
which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of
its input.
Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team
elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because
any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or
the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command.
(If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to
cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences
than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already
made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313.
To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it
won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string.
In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is.
It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though,
so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files
that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not
be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping
functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a
version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling
this issue.)

Commit 92785dac2 copied some logic related to advancement of inStart
from pqParseInput3 into getRowDescriptions and getAnotherTuple,
because it wanted to allow user-defined row processor callbacks to
potentially longjmp out of the library, and inStart would have to be
updated before that happened to avoid an infinite loop. We later
decided that that API was impossibly fragile and reverted it, but
we didn't undo all of the related code changes, and this bit of
messiness survived. Undo it now so that there's just one place in
pqParseInput3's processing where inStart is advanced; this will
simplify addition of better tracing support.
getParamDescriptions had grown similar processing somewhere along
the way (not in 92785dac2; I didn't track down just when), but it's
actually buggy because its handling of corrupt-message cases seems to
have been copied from the v2 logic where we lacked a known message
length. The cases where we "goto not_enough_data" should not simply
return EOF, because then we won't consume the message, potentially
creating an infinite loop. That situation now represents a
definitively corrupt message, and we should report it as such.
Although no field reports of getParamDescriptions getting stuck in
a loop have been seen, it seems appropriate to back-patch that fix.
I chose to back-patch all of this to keep the logic looking more alike

Protocol version 3 was introduced in PostgreSQL 7.4. There shouldn't be
many clients or servers left out there without version 3 support. But as
a courtesy, I kept just enough of the old protocol support that we can
still send the "unsupported protocol version" error in v2 format, so that
old clients can display the message properly. Likewise, libpq still
understands v2 ErrorResponse messages when establishing a connection.
The impetus to do this now is that I'm working on a patch to COPY

Previously, we had an undisciplined mish-mash of printfPQExpBuffer and
appendPQExpBuffer calls to report errors within libpq. This commit
establishes a uniform rule that appendPQExpBuffer[Str] should be used.
conn->errorMessage is reset only at the start of an application request,
and then accumulates messages till we're done. We can remove no less
than three different ad-hoc mechanisms that were used to get the effect
of concatenation of error messages within a sequence of operations.
Although this makes things quite a bit cleaner conceptually, the main
reason to do it is to make the world safer for the multiple-target-host
feature that was added awhile back. Previously, there were many cases
in which an error occurring during an individual host connection attempt
would wipe out the record of what had happened during previous attempts.
(The reporting is still inadequate, in that it can be hard to tell which
host got the failure, but that seems like a matter for a separate commit.)
Currently, lo_import and lo_export contain exceptions to the "never
use printfPQExpBuffer" rule. If we changed them, we'd risk reporting
an incidental lo_close failure before the actual read or write
failure, which would be confusing, not least because lo_close happened
after the main failure. We could improve this by inventing an
internal version of lo_close that doesn't reset the errorMessage; but
we'd also need a version of PQfn() that does that, and it didn't quite
seem worth the trouble for now.

Originally, if libpq got a failure (e.g., ECONNRESET) while trying to
send data to the server, it would just report that and wash its hands
of the matter. It was soon found that that wasn't a very pleasant way
of coping with server-initiated disconnections, so we introduced a hack
(pqHandleSendFailure) in the code that sends queries to make it peek
ahead for server error reports before reporting the send failure.
It now emerges that related cases can occur during connection setup;
in particular, as of TLS 1.3 it's unsafe to assume that SSL connection
failures will be reported by SSL_connect rather than during our first
send attempt. We could have fixed that in a hacky way by applying
pqHandleSendFailure after a startup packet send failure, but
(a) pqHandleSendFailure explicitly disclaims suitability for use in any
state except query startup, and (b) the problem still potentially exists
for other send attempts in libpq.
Instead, let's fix this in a more general fashion by eliminating
pqHandleSendFailure altogether, and instead arranging to postpone
all reports of send failures in libpq until after we've made an
attempt to read and process server messages. The send failure won't
be reported at all if we find a server message or detect input EOF.
(Note: this removes one of the reasons why libpq typically overwrites,
rather than appending to, conn->errorMessage: pqHandleSendFailure needed
that behavior so that the send failure report would be replaced if we
got a server message or read failure report. Eventually I'd like to get
rid of that overwrite behavior altogether, but today is not that day.
For the moment, pqSendSome is assuming that its callees will overwrite
not append to conn->errorMessage.)
Possibly this change should get back-patched someday; but it needs
testing first, so let's not consider that till after v12 beta.

We'd throw away the partial result anyway after parsing the error message.
Throwing it away beforehand costs nothing and reduces the risk of
out-of-memory failure. Also, at least in systems that behave like
glibc/Linux, if the partial result was very large then the error PGresult
would get allocated at high heap addresses, preventing the heap storage
used by the partial result from being released to the OS until the error
PGresult is freed.
In psql >= 9.6, we hold onto the error PGresult until another error is
received (for \errverbose), so that this behavior causes a seeming
memory leak to persist for awhile, as in a recent complaint from
Darafei Praliaskouski. This is a potential performance regression from
older versions, justifying back-patching at least that far. But similar
behavior may occur in other client applications, so it seems worth just
back-patching to all supported branches.

Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.

Often, upon getting an unexpected error in psql, one's first wish is that
the verbosity setting had been higher; for example, to be able to see the
schema-name field or the server code location info. Up to now the only way
has been to adjust the VERBOSITY variable and repeat the failing query.
That's a pain, and it doesn't work if the error isn't reproducible.
This commit adds support in libpq for regenerating the error message for
an existing error PGresult at any desired verbosity level. This is almost
just a matter of refactoring the existing code into a subroutine, but there
is one bit of possibly-needed information that was not getting put into
PGresults: the text of the last query sent to the server. We must add that
string to the contents of an error PGresult. But we only need to save it
if it might be used, which with the existing error-formatting code only
happens if there is a PG_DIAG_STATEMENT_POSITION error field, which is
probably pretty rare for errors in production situations. So really the
overhead when the feature isn't used should be negligible.
Alex Shulgin, reviewed by Daniel Vérité, some improvements by me
When getParamDescriptions was changed to handle out-of-memory better
by cribbing error recovery logic from getRowDescriptions/getAnotherTuple,
somebody omitted to copy the stanza about checking for excess data in
the message. But you need to do that, since continue'ing out of the
switch in pqParseInput3 means no such check gets applied there anymore.
Noted while looking at Michael Paquier's patch that made yet another
copy of this advance_and_error logic.
(This whole business desperately needs refactoring, because I sure don't
want to see a dozen copies of this code, but that's where we seem to be
headed. What's more, the "suspend parsing on EOF return" convention is a
holdover from protocol 2 and shouldn't exist at all in protocol 3, because
we don't process partial messages anymore. But for now, just fix the
obvious bug.)
Also, fix some wrong/missing comments about what the API spec is
for these three functions.
This doesn't seem worthy of back-patching, even though it's a bug;
the case shouldn't ever arise in the field.
