- master-plperl-feature1.patch (text/x-patch) patch
Building on my earlier plperl refactoring patch, here's a draft of my first plperl feature patch. Significant changes in this patch: - New GUC plperl.on_perl_init='...perl...' for admin use. - New GUC plperl.on_trusted_init='...perl...' for plperl user use. - New GUC plperl.on_untrusted_init='...perl...' for plperlu user use. - END blocks now run at backend exit (fixes bug #5066). - Stored procedure subs are now given names ($name__$oid). - More error checking and reporting. - Warnings no longer have an extra newline in the NOTICE text. - Various minor optimizations like pre-growing data structures. I'm working on adding tests and documentation now, meanwhile I'd very much appreciate any feedback on the patch. Tim. p.s. Once this patch is complete I plan to work on patches that: - add quote_literal and quote_identifier functions in C. - generalize the Safe setup code to enable more control. - formalize namespace usage, moving things out of main:: - add a way to perform inter-sub calling (at least for simple cases). - possibly rewrite _plperl_to_pg_array in C.
