Bruce Momjian [Sat, 8 Jan 2000 22:58:03 +0000 (22:58 +0000)]
This patch removes the initialization of ri in loop in
quote_postgres(...) in ecpglib.c.

The code in CVS reads:

quote_postgres(char *arg, int lineno)
{
 char    *res = (char *) ecpg_alloc(2 * strlen(arg) + 3, lineno);
 int   i,

    res[ri++] = '\'';
    break;
   case '\\':
    res[ri++] = '\\';
    break;

Bruce Momjian [Tue, 21 Dec 1999 17:42:16 +0000 (17:42 +0000)]
The first fix is to allow an input file with a relative path and without

more than one input file (in that case, cur and types were not set to
NULL before processing the second f ile)

The patch below modifies the accepted grammar of ecpg to accept

 FETCH [direction] [amount] cursor name

i.e. the IN|FROM clause becomes optional (as in Oracle and Informix).
This removes the incompatibility mentioned in section "Porting From
Other RDBMS Packages" p169, PostgreSQL Programmer's Guide. The grammar
is modified in such a way as to avoid shift/reduce conflicts. It does
not accept the statement "EXEC SQL FETCH;" anymore, as the old grammar
did (this seems to be a bug of the old grammar anyway).

This patch cleans up the handling of space characters in the scanner;
some patte rns require \n to be in {space}, some do not. A second fix is
the handling of cpp continuati on lines; the old pattern did not match
these. The parser is patched to fix an off-by-one error in the #line
directives. The pa rser is also enhanced to report the correct location
of errors in declarations in the "E XEC SQL DECLARE SECTION". Finally,
some right recursions in the parser were replaced by  left-recursions.

This patch adds preprocessor directives to ecpg; in particular

EXEC SQL IFDEF, EXEC SQL IFNDEF, EXEC SQL ELSE, EXEC SQL ELIF and EXEC SQL ENDIF

"EXEC SQL IFDEF" is used with defines made with "EXEC SQL DEFINE" and
defines, specified on the command line with -D. Defines, specified on
the command line are persistent across multiple input files. Defines can
be nested up to a maximum level of 128 (see patch). There is a fair
amount of error checking to make sure directives are matched properly. I
need preprocessor directives for porting code, that is written for an
Informix database, to a PostgreSQL database, while maintaining
compatibility with the original code. I decided not to extend the
already large ecpg grammar. Everything is done in the scanner by adding
some states, e.g. to skip all input except newlines and directives. The
preprocessor commands are compatible with Informix. Oracle uses a cpp
replacement.

Finally found a platform which has finite() but nonetheless sets errno
rather than returning a NaN for bogus input to pow().  Namely, HPUX 10.20.
I think this is sufficient evidence for what I thought all along, which
is that the float.c code *must* look at errno whether finite() exists or
not.

This is my -- hopefully sufficiently portable -- attempt at cleaning out
initdb. No more obscure dependencies on environment variables or paths.
It
now finds the templates and the right postgres itself (with cmd line
options as fallback). It also no longer depends on $USER (su safe), and
doesn't advertise that --username allows you to install the db as a
different user, since that doesn't work anyway. Also, recovery and
cleanup
on all errors. Consistent options, clearer documentation.

Please take a look at this and adopt it if you feel it's safe enough. I
have simulated all the stupid circumstances I could think of, but you
never know with shell scripts.

Oh yeah, you can give the postgres user a default password now.
