Does the same job as pgEdge/spock#635

Andrei Lepikhov added 2 commits September 30, 2026 15:44
The four get_LOLOR_* accessors were defined with an empty parameter list,
which declares a function taking unspecified arguments rather than none.
That contradicts the (void) prototypes in lolor.h, and -Wstrict-prototypes
reports it on every build.  Spell the definitions the same way as the
declarations.
lolor's only CI is the Docker test workflow, which builds without
-Werror: a new warning is buried in the build log of a run whose result
is a test verdict.  Borrow spock's build-werror job, which compiles the
extension alone with warnings promoted to errors, so a warning fails one
short job that names the file and the line.

The matrix keeps spock's axes -- PostgreSQL major, gcc and clang, stock
and assertion-enabled builds -- over lolor's supported majors (16-19,
the list workflow.yml tests).  lolor branches on no configure switch
beyond assertions, so "full" drops spock's lz4 and injection points, and
FSDB, lolor's only make-time switch, replaces the SPOCK_RANDOM_DELAYS
and NO_LOG_OLD_VALUE variants.  lolor includes no spock headers, so the
job builds vanilla PostgreSQL and compiles lolor against it with PGXS,
without spock or the spock patches.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a GitHub Actions workflow that builds PostgreSQL 16–19 and lolor with GCC and Clang, including stock and cassert configurations. It also adds GCC diagnostic matching and changes four OID getter definitions to explicitly declare no parameters.

Changes

Compiler warning validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define workflow triggers and build matrix
.github/workflows/build-werror.yml
Adds manual, pull request, main-branch, and scheduled triggers. Defines the PostgreSQL, compiler, and configuration matrix, read-only contents permission, and per-ref cancellation.
Resolve and build PostgreSQL
.github/workflows/build-werror.yml
Installs build dependencies and selects the newest stable PostgreSQL tag, falling back to RC and BETA tags. Configures, builds, and installs PostgreSQL.
Build lolor with warnings as errors
.github/workflows/build-werror.yml, .github/gcc-problem-matcher.json, src/lolor.c
Updates four OID getter definitions to use (void). Registers a GCC diagnostic matcher and runs separate -Werror builds for plain lolor and the -DFSDB variant.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9d71d

The new compiler-check workflow fails for PostgreSQL majors that have only prerelease tags. Fix empty-match handling before merging so the intended matrix can run.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9d71d

The workflow limits repository access to read-only, and similar credential exposure already exists in the test workflow. The stricter node-ID limit improves identity separation but requires checking previously accepted configurations before upgrade. Credential cleanup and deployed node settings remain unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Previously accepted lolor.node=16 configurations no longer satisfy the new configuration contract. If such configurations are deployed, upgrade recovery requires a distinct valid identity, while rollback re-enables the overlapping value. Existing OIDs need no conversion, but deployment settings and mixed-version recovery are unverified; this is a conditional rollback and identity-consistency concern, not an observed outage.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The established credential path concerns the build job's repository-read token. The workflow does not declare repository-write or identity-token authority or reference deployment secrets. Repository visibility and external policy are unknown, so confidential-content impact is not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — PR-controlled Makefile rules execute after checkout in the same workspace. Under checkout's default credential persistence, they can read or use the local credential. This supports reachability, not observed exfiltration. Comparable exposure predates this PR: base CI persisted checkout credentials and mounted the entire checkout into PR-controlled containers. Increased maximum authority or exposure is therefore not established, and the supplied candidate remains deferred.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The workflow limits token authority but does not explicitly disable checkout credential persistence before repository-controlled builds. Build cleanup is present; an explicit credential-isolation step is not. The checkout action's persistence implementation and post-job cleanup were unavailable for verification.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Hosted-runner job separation bounds workspace sharing across matrix jobs, but cancellation and timeout settings do not prove credential cleanup after interruption or checkout-state tampering. Any cleanup failure or reuse beyond the job remains unverified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Disable checkout credential persistence before repository-controlled builds unless an authenticated downstream dependency requires it. The shown PostgreSQL fetch uses a public URL. This would reduce the existing credential exposure pattern rather than establish a newly introduced vulnerability.
  • proposed — Before deployment, verify that configured node identities are distinct values within 1 through 15 and define recovery for any previously configured value of 16. Avoid assuming that rollback or renumbering alone preserves cross-node identity separation.

`pipefail` does not abort before fallback selection. Preserve the existing sort

Comment thread .github/workflows/build-werror.yml Outdated
Andrei Lepikhov added 2 commits September 30, 2026 15:55
"#define FSDB 0" with "#ifdef FSDB" guards around the debug elog() calls
reads as "logging off", but #ifdef asks whether the macro exists, not
what it says, so the calls were compiled into every build.  Setting it
to 1 changed nothing, and -DFSDB from the command line only earned a
macro redefinition error.

Guard the default with #ifndef and test the value with #if, so the
comment tells the truth: the calls are out of a normal build, and
-DFSDB=1 puts them back.
Two failures from the first run of the workflow.

Every pre-GA major failed in the resolve step.  The tag ladder is the
one the Docker test workflow uses, but that workflow runs under plain
"bash -e" while this one asks for "shell: bash", which adds pipefail.
The first grep of the ladder then fails the step rather than falling
through to the RC and BETA rungs -- which is exactly the case the
ladder is there for.  End each selection with "|| true", and use
ls-remote --refs so the peeled ^{} entries need no grep of their own.
While here, add the REL_x_STABLE branch as a last rung, for a major
branched but not yet tagged.

The FSDB build failed everywhere because the source defined FSDB
unconditionally; the previous commit makes it a switch, so pass the
value the source now tests.
