Coverity complains that ECPGdebug is accessing debugstream without holding debug_mutex, which is a fair complaint: we should take debug_mutex while changing the settings ecpg_log looks at. In some branches it also complains about unlocked use of simple_debug. I think it's intentional and safe to have a quick unlocked check of simple_debug at the start of ecpg_log, since that early exit will always be taken in non-debug cases. But we should recheck simple_debug after acquiring the mutex. In the worst case, calling ECPGdebug concurrently with ecpg_log in another thread could result in a null-pointer dereference due to debugstream transiently being NULL while simple_debug isn't 0. This is largely hypothetical, since it's unlikely anybody uses ECPGdebug() at all in the field, and our own regression tests don't seem to be hitting the theoretical race conditions either. Still, if we're going to the trouble of having mutexes here, we ought to be using them in a way that's actually safe not just almost safe. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches.
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
