There are several cases where your behavior gives strange errors (see below).
Next batch of notes:
src/include/catalog/pg_proc.h:
---
+ DATA(insert OID = 3317 ( pg_size_bytes...
now oid 3317 is used (by pg_stat_get_wal_receiver), 3318 is free
---
+ DESCR("convert a human readable text with size units to big int bytes");
May be the best way is to copy the first sentence from the doc?
("convert a size in human-readable format with size units into bytes")
====
src/backend/utils/adt/dbsize.c:
+ text *arg = PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP(0);
+ char *str = text_to_cstring(arg);
...
+ /* working buffer cannot be longer than original string */
+ buffer = (char *) palloc(VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR(arg) + 1);
Is there any reason to get TEXT for only converting it to cstring and
call VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR instead of strlen?
---
+ text *arg = PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP(0);
+ char *str = text_to_cstring(arg);
+ char *strptr = str;
+ char *buffer;
There are wrong offsets of variable names after their types (among all
body of the "pg_size_bytes" function).
See variable declarations in nearby functions (
>> "make the new code look like the existing code around it"
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/source-format.html
)
---
+ errmsg("\"%s\" is not number", str)));
s/is not number/is not a number/
(the second version can be found in a couple places besides translations)
---
+ if (*strptr != '\0')
...
+ while (*strptr && !isspace(*strptr))
Sometimes it explicitly compares to '\0', sometimes implicitly.
Common use is explicit comparison and it is preferred due to different
compilers (their conversions to boolean).
---
+ /* Skip leading spaces */
...
+ /* ignore plus symbol */
...
+ /* copy digits to working buffer */
...
+ /* allow whitespace between integer and unit */
I'm also inclined on dropping that explicit skipping spaces, checking
for +/- symbols, but copying all digits, spaces, dots and '+-' symbols
and let numeric_in() error out on that.
It allows to get correct error messages for something like:
postgres=# select pg_size_bytes('.+912');
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: ".+912"
postgres=# select pg_size_bytes('+912+ kB');
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: "+912+ "
postgres=# select pg_size_bytes('++123 kB');
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: "++123 "
instead of current:
postgres=# select pg_size_bytes('.+912');
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: "."
postgres=# select pg_size_bytes('+912+ kB');
ERROR: invalid unit: "+ kB"
postgres=# select pg_size_bytes('++123 kB');
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: "+"
---
+ while (isspace((unsigned char) *strptr))
...
+ while (isspace(*strptr))
...
+ while (*strptr && !isspace(*strptr))
...
+ while (isspace(*strptr))
The first occurece of isspace's parameter is casting to "unsigned
char" whereas the others are not.
Note:
"The behavior is undefined if the value of ch is not representable as
unsigned char and is not equal to EOF"
Proof:
http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/isspace
---
+ pfree(buffer);
+ pfree(str);
pfree-s here are not necessary. See:
