There is only one constructor now for PostgresNode, with the idiomatic
name 'new'. The method is not exported by the class, and must be called
as "PostgresNode->new('name',[args])". All the TAP tests that use
PostgresNode are modified accordingly. Third party scripts will need
adjusting, which is a fairly mechanical process (I just used a sed
script).
Most of the integer options for command-line binaries now make use of a
single routine able to do the job, fixing issues with the detection of
sloppy values caused for example by the use of atoi(), that fails on
strings beginning with numerical characters with junk trailing
characters.
This commit cuts down the number of strings requiring translation by 26
per my count, switching the code to have two error types for invalid and
out-of-range values instead.
Much more could be done here, with float or even int64 options, but
int32 was the most appealing case as it is possible to rely on strtol()
to do the job reliably. Note that there are some exceptions for now,
like pg_ctl or pg_upgrade that use their own logging logic. A couple of
negative TAP tests required some adjustments for the new errors
generated.
pg_dump and pg_restore tracked the maximum number of parallel jobs
within the option parsing. The code is refactored a bit to track that
in the code dedicated to parallelism instead.

Commit 3499df0d added a comment that incorrectly suggested that
--force-index-cleanup did not appear in the same major version as the
similar --no-index-cleanup option. In fact, both options are new to
PostgreSQL 14.
Backpatch: 14-, where both options were introduced.
Generalize the INDEX_CLEANUP VACUUM parameter (and the corresponding
reloption): make it into a ternary style boolean parameter. It now
exposes a third option, "auto". The "auto" option (which is now the
default) enables the "bypass index vacuuming" optimization added by
commit 1e55e7d1.
"VACUUM (INDEX_CLEANUP TRUE)" is redefined to once again make VACUUM
simply do any required index vacuuming, regardless of how few dead
tuples are encountered during the first scan of the target heap relation
(unless there are exactly zero). This gives users a way of opting out
of the "bypass index vacuuming" optimization, if for whatever reason
that proves necessary. It is also expected to be used by PostgreSQL
developers as a testing option from time to time.
"VACUUM (INDEX_CLEANUP FALSE)" does the same thing as it always has: it
forcibly disables both index vacuuming and index cleanup. It's not
expected to be used much in PostgreSQL 14. The failsafe mechanism added
by commit 1e55e7d1 addresses the same problem in a simpler way.
INDEX_CLEANUP can now be thought of as a testing and compatibility
option.

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.)

Create a wrapper object, ParallelSlotArray, to encapsulate the
number of slots and the slot array itself, plus some other relevant
bits of information. This reduces the number of parameters we have
to pass around all over the place.
Allow for a ParallelSlotArray to contain slots connected to
different databases within a single cluster. The current clients
of this mechanism don't need this, but it is expected to be used
by future patches.
Defer connecting to databases until we actually need the connection
for something. This is a slight behavior change for vacuumdb and
reindexdb. If you specify a number of jobs that is larger than the
number of objects, the extra connections will now not be used.
But, on the other hand, if you specify a number of jobs that is
so large that it's going to fail, the failure would previously have
happened before any operations were actually started, and now it
won't.

This option controls if toast tables associated with a relation are
vacuumed or not when running a manual VACUUM. It was already possible
to trigger a manual VACUUM on a toast relation without processing its
main relation, but a manual vacuum on a main relation always forced a
vacuum on its toast table. This is useful in scenarios where the level
of bloat or transaction age of the main and toast relations differs a
lot.
This option is an extension of the existing VACOPT_SKIPTOAST that was
used by autovacuum to control if toast relations should be skipped or
not. This internal flag is renamed to VACOPT_PROCESS_TOAST for
consistency with the new option.
A new option switch, called --no-process-toast, is added to vacuumdb.

libpq's error messages for connection failures pretty well stand on
their own, especially since commits 52a10224e/27a48e5a1. Prefixing
them with 'could not connect to database "foo"' or the like is just
redundant, and perhaps even misleading if the specific database name
isn't relevant to the failure. (When it is, we trust that the
backend's error message will include the DB name.) Indeed, psql
hasn't used any such prefix in a long time. So, make all our other
programs and documentation examples agree with psql's practice.

We found last February that the error-case tests added by commit
008cf0409 failed on OpenBSD, because that platform doesn't really
check locale names. At the time it seemed that that was only an issue
for LC_CTYPE, but testing on a more recent version of OpenBSD shows
that it's now equally lax about LC_COLLATE.
Rather than dropping the LC_COLLATE test too, put back LC_CTYPE
(reverting c4b0edb07), and adjust these tests to accept the different
error message that we get if setlocale() doesn't reject a bogus locale
name. The point of these tests is not really what the backend does
with the locale name, but to show that createdb quotes funny locale
names safely; so we're not losing test reliability this way.
Back-patch as appropriate.

When told to process all databases, clusterdb, reindexdb, and vacuumdb
would reconnect by replacing their --maintenance-db parameter with the
name of the target database. If that parameter is a connstring (which
has been allowed for a long time, though we failed to document that
before this patch), we'd lose any other options it might specify, for
example SSL or GSS parameters, possibly resulting in failure to connect.
Thus, this is the same bug as commit a45bc8a4f fixed in pg_dump and
pg_restore. We can fix it in the same way, by using libpq's rules for
handling multiple "dbname" parameters to add the target database name
separately. I chose to apply the same refactoring approach as in that
patch, with a struct to handle the command line parameters that need to
be passed through to connectDatabase. (Maybe someday we can unify the
very similar functions here and in pg_dump/pg_restore.)

A number of places were using appendStringInfo() when they could have been
using appendStringInfoString() instead. While there's no functionality
change there, it's just more efficient to use appendStringInfoString()
when no formatting is required. Likewise for some
appendStringInfoString() calls which were just appending a single char.
We can just use appendStringInfoChar() for that.
Additionally, many places were using appendPQExpBuffer() when they could
have used appendPQExpBufferStr(). Change those too.

This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary
limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged:
let's just get rid of those fixed limits.
recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size,
which we don't really need, so just drop it. (Note that this doesn't
really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since
those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway.
It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.)
Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep().
The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts
for passwords. To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that
it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as
necessary. Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine
pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except
that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never
return a truncated line. (pg_get_line has a lot of potential
applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere,
but I'll leave that for another patch.)
I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving
that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor
fit for src/port/ anyway.
This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart
who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and
created a predecessor patch. Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and
Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion.

As it stands, this flag is only set when we've successfully sent a
cancel request, not if we get SIGINT and then fail to send a cancel.
However, for almost all callers, that's the Wrong Thing: we'd prefer
to abort processing after control-C even if no cancel could be sent.
As an example, since commit 1d468b9ad "pgbench -i" fails to give up
sending COPY data even after control-C, if the postmaster has been
stopped, which is clearly not what the code intends and not what anyone
would want. (The fact that it keeps going at all is the fault of a
separate bug in libpq, but not letting CancelRequested become set is
clearly not what we want here.)
The sole exception, as far as I can find, is that scripts_parallel.c's
ParallelSlotsGetIdle tries to consume a query result after issuing a
cancel, which of course might not terminate quickly if no cancel
happened. But that behavior was poorly thought out too. No user of
ParallelSlotsGetIdle tries to continue processing after a cancel,
so there is really no point in trying to clear the connection's state.
Moreover this has the same defect as for other users of cancel.c,
that if the cancel request fails for some reason then we end up with
control-C being completely ignored. (On top of that, select_loop failed
to distinguish clearly between SIGINT and other reasons for select(2)
failing, which means that it's possible that the existing code would
think that a cancel has been sent when it hasn't.)
Hence, redefine CancelRequested as simply meaning that SIGINT was
received. We could add a second flag with the other meaning, but
in the absence of any compelling argument why such a flag is needed,
I think it would just offer an opportunity for future callers to
get it wrong. Also remove the consumeQueryResult call in
ParallelSlotsGetIdle's failure exit. In passing, simplify the
API of select_loop.
It would now be possible to re-unify psql's cancel_pressed with
CancelRequested, partly undoing 5d43c3c54. But I'm not really
convinced that that's worth the trouble, so I left psql alone,
other than fixing a misleading comment.
This code is new in v13 (cf a4fd3aa71), so no need for back-patch.

Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up,
most of which weren't per project style anyway.
Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of
commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences
of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all
with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get
indented.
OpenBSD falls back to "C" when using an incorrect input with setlocale()
and LC_CTYPE, causing this test, introduced by 008cf04, to fail. This
removes the culprit test to avoid the portability issue.

This feature internally sends SIGTERM to all the backends connected to the

found that on Windows, the client end of the socket is not able to read
