I think that the fix we chose is better, at least for our purposes.
You can see its effects on our source tree at

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=fa27dd40d5c5f56a1ee837a75c97549e992e32a4

and while certainly most of the diffs are around && or || operators,
there are a fair number that are not, such as

-   dummy_lex.input = unconstify(char *, str) +1;
+   dummy_lex.input = unconstify(char *, str) + 1;

or more interestingly

-   strncmp(text, "pg_", 3) !=0)
+   strncmp(text, "pg_", 3) != 0)

where the previous misformatting is because "text" is a known typedef
name.  So it appears to me that this change reduces the misformatting
cost of typedef names that chance to match field or variable names,
and that's actually quite a big issue for us.  We have, ATM, 3574 known
typedefs in typedefs.list, a fair number of which are not under our
control (since they come from system headers on various platforms).
So it's inevitable that there are going to be collisions.

In short, I'm inclined to stick with the hack we've got.  I'm sad that
it will result in further divergence from FreeBSD indent; but it does
useful stuff for us, and I don't want to give it up.

(That said, I don't see any penalty to carrying both changes; so we'll
probably also absorb the &&/|| change at some convenient time.)

Yeah, it's been doing that for decades.  I think the triggering

I am on vacation away from the Internet this week but somehow saw this

I think this is a better approach then the one committed to 
pg_bsd_indent. It's ubiquitous that the operators are binary, except - 
as you mentioned - in a nonstandard GCC syntax. The alternative given

formatting, which it should support as well as everything else -- to a 
reasonable extent. sys/kern/ is usually a decent litmus test, but I

This change may seem hacky, but it would be far from the worst hack in 
this program's history or even in its present form. It's actually very 
much in indent's spirit, which is an attribute I neither support nor 
condemn.


In any case, this change, or equivalent, should be committed to FreeBSD 
repository together with a test case or two.

Just happened to see this.  Might be I'm not looking at the right thing,
but from what I can tell, the repo is set up with only you as having
write access.  We also don't currently have updating the pg_bsd_indent
repo on git.postgresql.org as part of our SOP for adding/removing
committers.

All of this is fixable, of course.  I've CC'd this to sysadmins@ to
highlight this issue and possible change to that repo and our SOP.

Barring complaints or concerns, based on Tom's comments above, I'll
adjust that repo to be 'owned' by pginfra, with all committers having
read/write access, and add it to our committer add/remove SOP to
update that repo's access list whenever there are changes.

I'll plan to do that in a couple of days to allow for any concerns or
questions, as this isn't a critical issue at present based on the above
comments.

Thanks,

Stephen

It seems I cannot.  Please go ahead.

I'll eventually see if I can get this into FreeBSD's usr.bin/indent.
It's possible that that process results in a request to make it
optional (some project with a lot of STACK_OF- and no IsA-style macros
wouldn't like it), but I don't think it hurts to commit it to our copy
like this in the meantime to fix our weird formatting problem.

It should also be noted that there are a lot of places where we've
programmed around this silliness by artificially breaking conditions
using IsA() into multiple lines.  So the "38 places" is a lowball
estimate of how much of a problem this has been.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix formatting of macros that take types.

Previously, we would assume that a macro like IsA() in the following
example was a cast just because it mentions a known type between parens,
and that messed up the formatting of any binary operator that followed:

   if (IsA(outer_path, UniquePath) ||path->skip_mark_restore)

This change errs on the side of assuming that function-like macros are
similar to sizeof() and offsetof(), so that operators are formatted
correctly:

   if (IsA(outer_path, UniquePath) || path->skip_mark_restore)

Subject: [PATCH] Fix formatting of IsA() and similar macros.

Fix the formatting of many places where macros and sometimes even
function calls confused pg_bsd_indent by mentioning type names in
between parentheses.  We've now patched pg_bsd_indent to be less
confused about that.

This leads to a couple of places where OpenSSL's STACK_OF() macro is not
formatted correctly, but that seems like a good trade-off.

Good thought, since keywords also have last_token == ident so it's
redundant to check the keyword.  But while testing that I realised
that either way we get this wrong:

-   return (int) *s1 - (int) *s2;
+   return (int) * s1 - (int) *s2;

So I think the right formulation is one that allows offsetof and
sizeof to receive not-a-cast treatment, but not any other known
keyword:

Hmm ... this suggests to me that if you remove these alleged special
cases for offsetof and sizeof, the new code handles them correctly
anyway.  Do you think it's worth giving that a try?  Not because
removing the special cases would have any value, but rather to see if

Me too.

Thinking about this again: It's obviously not true that everything
that looks like a function call is not a cast.  You could have
"my_cast(Type)" that expands to "(Type)" or some slightly more useful
variant of that, and then "my_cast(Type) -1" would, with this patch
applied, be reformatted as "my_cast(Type) - 1" because it'd err on the
side of thinking that the expression produces a value and therefore
the minus sign must be a binary operator that needs whitespace on both

the change does, and fortunately the authors of indent showed how to
do that with their existing special cases for offsetof and sizeof; I'm
just extending that treatment to any identifier.

Is there some other case I'm not thinking of that is confused by the
change?  I'm sure you could contrive something it screws up, but my
question is about real code that people would actually write.  Piotr,
is there an easy way to reindent some large non-PostgreSQL body of
code that uses a cousin of this code to see if it gets better or worse
with the change?

The roots of that code are even older than Postgres, I believe,

But Piotr has certainly spent more time looking at it than I have,

This is indeed a very good fix!  Several badly formatted sites in our
code are improved with this change.

Here's a better fix:

I am on vacation away from the Internet this week but somehow saw this
on my phone and couldn't stop myself from peeking at pg_bsd_ident
again. Yeah, "(Var)" (where Var is a known typename) causes it to
think that any following operator must be unary.

One way to fix that in the cases Alvaro is referring to is to tell
override the setting so that && (and likewise ||) are never considered
to be unary, though I haven't tested this much and there are surely
other ways to achieve this:

diff --git a/lexi.c b/lexi.c
index d43723c..6de3227 100644
--- a/lexi.c
+++ b/lexi.c
@@ -655,6 +655,12 @@ stop_lit:
unary_delim = state->last_u_d;
break;
}
+
+   /* && and || are never unary */
+   if ((token[0] == '&' && *buf_ptr == '&') ||
+   (token[0] == '|' && *buf_ptr == '|'))
+   state->last_u_d = false;
+
while (*(e_token - 1) == *buf_ptr || *buf_ptr == '=') {
/*
 * handle ||, &&, etc, and also things as in int *i

The problem with that is that && sometimes *should* be formatted like
a unary operator: when it's part of the nonstandard GCC computed goto
syntax.

In the past I would use a post-processing step after BSD indent to fix
up these problems.

Yeah, it's been doing that for decades.  I think the triggering
factor is the typedef name (Var, here) preceding the &&.

It'd be nice to fix properly, but I've tended to take the path
of least resistance by breaking such lines to avoid the ugliness:

if (IsA(leftop, Var) &&
IsA(rightop, Const))

pgindent && weirdness

2020-01-14 Thread Alvaro Herrera
I just ran pgindent over some patch, and noticed that this hunk ended up
in my working tree:

diff --git a/src/backend/statistics/extended_stats.c 
b/src/backend/statistics/extended_stats.c
index 861a9148ed..fff54062b0 100644

-   if (IsA(leftop, Var) && IsA(rightop, Const))
+   if (IsA(leftop, Var) &(rightop, Const))
{
var = (Var *) leftop;
cst = (Const *) rightop;
varonleft = true;

{
var = (Var *) rightop;
cst = (Const *) leftop;

This seems a really strange change; this
git grep '&&[^([:space:]]' -- *.c
shows that we already have a dozen or so occurrences already.  (That's
ignoring execExprInterp.c's use of computed gotos.)

I don't care all that much, but wanted to throw it out in case somebody
is specifically interested in studying pgindent's logic, since the last
round of changes has yielded excellent results.

Thanks,
