Notice message?  Where did that come from?  The behavior I thought
people were after was just that variables previously defined by the file
would revert to reset values if not any longer defined by the file.

From a reviewer's point of view, it'd be nice if the patch did not
contain so many useless changes of whitespace.

Three points after a quick test:

 - please compile with --enable-cassert, there are wrong assertions in your
   code (you might just have to move some lines, there is an Assert() and an
   assignment thereafter)

 - changing a PGC_POSTMASTER should show a message:
       => parameter \"%s\" cannot be changed after server start;
          configuration file change ignored
   This seems to not show up anymore with your patch.

 - with the same reasoning, I think it's a good idea to display a message
   about which option falls back to its default value.

I guess what I saw was another phenomenon:

I do the following:

- vi postgresql.conf => "allow_system_table_mods = true"
- start postmaster
- vi postgresql.conf => "# allow_system_table_mods = true" (commented)
- killall -HUP postmaster

Then I get _no_ message. After another killall -HUP I do indeed get a
message. So I don't get it just for the first time which is strange, do you
see that as well?

However the message I get is that it got reset to its default value which is
wrong because its a PGC_POSTMASTER variable that can only be set at server
start (set_config_option() returns true in this case as well).

Consequently I expect to get it for every other signal I send (because the
old value is still active and differs from what is in the configuration
file).

Still it does not what I think it should do. I might have been unclear
before. If you put a comment in front of a PGC_POSTMASTER variable (and if
its value differs from the default) then this should be treated as if the
variable got changed and it should emmit a warning " can only be
changed on server start" or similar. This warning should be kept for every
other SIGHUP that gets sent just like it is done already when you change the
value (but do not comment the variable).

I still have the problem that the first signal I send does not trigger any
message (i get the "SIGHUP received", but nothing about the variable
changes) but I haven't looked into it yet.

I did not check the changes you have done to set_config_option and the like
but tested the commenting / uncommenting / changing of guc variables and the
behavior and log output. The general idea (at least my idea) is that
whenever a SIGHUP is received and there is some difference between the
config file and the active value that the server is using, a notice message
is written to the log. That way, at every moment you can see if the active
values coincide with the configuration file by sending a SIGHUP and if there
are no such messages the admin can stop and restart the server and be sure
that the settings will be the same after a restart.

While testing, I specified a bunch of test cases that I attach below.

I also renamed the GUC_JUST_RELOAD to GUC_IN_CONFFILE because I did not
really understand what GUC_JUST_RELOAD should mean. GUC_IN_CONFFILE means
that the variable does show up in the configuration file and is active
there, i.e. is not commented.

Please check my changes, I'm pretty sure it can be cleaned up further.

Test cases for "guc falls back to default":

guc_context <= PGC_POSTMASTER (shared_buffers is an example, Default: 1000)

Commented value gets un-commented (value != default)
	=> message every time a sighup is received

Example:
	#shared_buffers = 3301
	START
	shared_buffers = 3301
	HUP

Output:
	LOG:  parameter "shared_buffers" cannot be changed after server start;
	configuration file change ignored



Value gets changed (to != initial).
	=> message every time a sighup is received

Example:
	shared_buffers = 3301
	START
	shared_buffers = 3302
	HUP

Output:
	LOG:  parameter "max_prepared_transactions" cannot be changed after
	server start; configuration file change ignored



Value gets commented (initial != default).
	=> message every time a sighup is received

Example:
	shared_buffers = 3301
	START
	#shared_buffers = 3301
	HUP

Output:
	LOG:  parameter "max_prepared_transactions" cannot be changed
	(commented) after server start; configuration file change ignored



Commented value (not applied) gets changed back to initial setting:
	=> no more messages after SIGHUP

Example:
	shared_buffers = 3301
	START
	#shared_buffers = 3301
	HUP (value does not get applied)
	shared_buffers = 3301
	HUP

Output:
	None



Commented value (not applied) gets changed to != initial:
	=> message every time a SIGHUP is received

Example:
	shared_buffers = 3301
	START
	#shared_buffers = 3301
	HUP
	shared_buffers = 3302
	HUP

Output:
	LOG:  parameter "shared_buffers" cannot be changed after server start;
	configuration file change ignored





guc_context <= PGC_SIGHUP set (fsync is an example, Default: true)

Value (== default) gets commented
	=> nothing happens

Example:
	fsync = true
	START
	#fsync = true
	HUP

Output:
	None



Value (!= default) gets commented
	=> falls back to default on first HUP that is received)

Example:
	fsync = false
	START
	fsync = true
	HUP
	(subsequent HUPs do not show output anymore)

Output:
	LOG:  configuration option fsync falls back to default value

There's two issues here, I believe.  There's the
'revert-to-reset-values' issue for things which can be changed with a
reload and then there's also the 'notice-message-if-unable-to-change'
a given variable without a reset.

On reload a variable is changed:

#1: That variable can be changed by a reload.
    If the variable has been removed/commented-out then it is reverted
	to the reset-value.  Otherwise, the new value is used.

#2: That variable can *not* be changed by a reload.
    Notice-level message is sent to the log notifying the admin that the
	change requested could not be performed.  This change could be
	either a revert to reset-value if it was removed/commented-out or an
	explicit change request to a different value.

Personally, I'm very interested in having both.  I'm about 90% sure both
were discussed previously on hackers and that the general consensus was
that both were good.  It's possible the second point wasn't noticed by
everyone involved though.  Of course, I might be misunderstanding what
Joachim was referring to also.

Not if the option gets commented/deleted, i.e.:

shared_buffers = 8000
START
#shared_buffers = 8000
HUP

This does not issue a message at the moment.

Right. And what I am voting for is to not only issue such a message once but
every time a SIGHUP is received as long as the actively-used value differs
from the value in the configuration file. One of the reasons for having this
fall-back-to-default-value stuff is to make sure that an admin can restart a
server and be sure that it will behave in the same way as when it was
shut down.

Moreover it's just clearer to send the notice message every time a SIGHUP is
received since every reload is the admin's request to apply all of the
values in the configuration file independently of what has happened in the
past.

Because at the moment, the above does not change the value of 
shared_buffers.

The way I see it, combining a feature change with a code refactoring and 
random white space changes is a pretty optimal way to get your patch

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around a code "refactoring" which 
actually makes the code significantly *longer*.  The only interface 
change I could detect is the introduction of a function 
verify_config_option(), which should just be a small variation on 
set_config_option() as it currently exists.

I'm also about a relive a personal trauma if I see error messages like 
this:

    errmsg("configuration file is invalid")

I just had to deal with an unnamed product where this was all you got!

Please, explain again what this refactoring is supposed to achieve.

The second part of your patch actually looks pretty reasonable and does 
not appear to require the refactoring.

The patch was applied, fixed, and fixed again, then reverted.  It will
sit until just before beta, where it will be applied or a vote will be
taken on whether to apply it.  There is nothing more you have to do on
it.  I think the fixes just scared some folks so there is hope more
review might happen before beta.

The refactoring was to fix problems in incorrect parsing of the config
file.  I believe the example was:

Yeah, that's not enforced at the moment, it's just documentation.
Most of the variables that are marked that way have other defenses
against being changed from the file, so I'm not sure that it's real
important to have a specific check for it.

Note that there are two separate behaviors: during postmaster startup,
errors in the config file are cause for aborting.  During SIGHUP reread,
errors in the config file may NOT cause an abort.  This is intentional.
The postmaster (and only the postmaster, not the N backends that are
also rereading the file) is supposed to emit a log message about any
problems, but it mustn't error out.

There is path implements following item from todo list: "Allow 
commenting of variables in postgresql.conf to restore them to defaults".
Main idea is:

General config structure is extend with default_val attribute to keep 
really default value. (There is small conflict - for string boot_val has same meaning).
During reconfiguration all values which has reset source equal with 
PGC_S_FILE are revert back to really default values. New values from
configuration files are set after this step and commented variables stay 
with default value.

There is second version of patch. I made following changes:

- fix problem with assertion
- use boot_val instead default_val for all configuration data types
- add GUC_JUST_RELOAD status to track what is in configuration file or not
- revert only commented out variables
- add message what is revert to boot value

Joachim, could you explain me second point? I  cannot determine 
described problem. By my opinion my patch does not change this behavior.

Thanks, You have right. It is problem with silent skip some option in 
set_config_option function when  PGC_SIGHUP is running context.

I fix it and I attach third version of patch.

Thanks for explanation. I overlooked this variant. When I analyzed 
set_config_option I found some other bugs or strange things:

1) Try to change internal  variable in the config file is silently 
ignored during reconfiguration.
2) GUC_DISALLOW_IN_FILE flag is ignored during configuration file parsing.
3) If option is PGC_POSTMASTER type and value is not syntax valid, It 
only generates warning message that value cannot be change and file 
parsing continue.

Could some one validates my findings?
 
I think that set_config_options is too huge and very overloaded.  By my 
opinion divide to small functions is necessary to fix this behavior and 
its increase maintainability.

There is last version of patch with following changes/improvements:

1) I divide set_config_option to more smaller functions without backside 
effect.

2) Behavior of reconfiguration is "same" in SIG_HUP context (exclude 
elevel). All errors are reported and full validity of file is checked too.

It would be nice to have this like regression test. I'm still thinking 
how to realize it. There is problem how to change postgresql.conf 
without backside effect on other test and for all platform.

Yes, you have right, JUST_RELOAD is not much clear. I look that you 
little bit changed function of this flag to. I think it is better and 
more clear. However, I have some doubt that in the some special case - 
SET/RESET usage in transaction - should generate some wrong output. I'm 
working on some deep analyze and test case.

Joachim,

I checked your improvement and fix some problem with following scenario:

shared_buffers = 3301
START
share_buffers = 333.39
HUP
share_buffers requires integer value. Skip configuration file
#share_buffers = 3301
HUP
.... silent - no message

I performed some cleanup in my code as well. I reduced some conditions, 
which cannot occur and fixed context validation in the 
set_config_options function. I hope that It is final version of our patch.

	Thanks for cooperation

OK. I split patch to two parts. Part one is refactoring of

The main reason for refactoring was that set_config_option() was too 
overloaded function and its behavior did not consistent. Old version of 
set_config_function hides some messages. For example if you type:

tcp_port = 5432.1

then old implementation ignore this error without any message to log 
file in the signal context (configuration reload). Main problem was that 
semantic analysis of postgresql.conf is not perform in the 
ProcessConfigFile function, but in the set_config_options *after* 
context check. This skipped check for variables with PG_POSTMASTER 
context. There was request from Joachim Wieland to add more messages 
about ignored changes in the config file as well.

Do you have any idea for better message? This message is last one during 
parsing process. What is wrong is logged before this message.

Peter,

What is the status of this patch now? I read that two bugs has been 
fixed in this patch and now it is waiting for new review. Is there 
something what I can/must do?
