If the number of tuples in the heap exceeds approximately INT_MAX/2, this loop's calculation "2*i+1" could overflow, resulting in a crash. Fix it by using unsigned int rather than int for the relevant local variables; that shouldn't cost anything extra on any popular hardware. Per bug #14722 from Sergey Koposov. Original patch by Sergey Koposov, modified by me per a suggestion from Heikki Linnakangas to use unsigned int not int64. Back-patch to 9.4, where tuplesort.c grew the ability to sort as many as INT_MAX tuples in-memory (commit 263865a48). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170629161637.1478.93109@wrigleys.postgresql.org
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/.
