Logged by:          li chuancheng
Email address:      lichuancheng@highgo.com
PostgreSQL version: 10.4
Operating system:   centos7
Description:

Question1:
Bytea accecp almost 1G data length, but we select failed when data is more
than 512M-5byte with HEX type output
###################Here is the sample.###################
postgres=# insert into t1 values(1,pg_read_binary_file('testfile_512M'));
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select j from t1 where i = 1;
2018-11-14 13:39:43.251 CST [19366] ERROR:  invalid memory alloc request

2018-11-14 13:39:43.251 CST [19366] STATEMENT:  select j from t1 where i =
1;
ERROR:  invalid memory alloc request size 1073741827

It is due to the length expand when trans to HEX.

Question2:
When i investigation question1 i find some problem of code.
Problem1:
------------------
Datum
byteaout(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
     ...
     else if (bytea_output == BYTEA_OUTPUT_ESCAPE)
     {
          ...
              int            len;
          ...
         rp = result = (char *) palloc(len);
              ...
         }
 }
------------------
The type of 'len' shoule be int64. Because i have find a bug below when
select with ESCAPE and 1G length of bytea value.
#########################################################
postgres=# insert into t1 values(3,pg_read_binary_file('testfile_1G'));
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select j from t1 where i = 3;
2018-11-14 14:08:55.688 CST [20832] ERROR:  invalid memory alloc request

3;
ERROR:  invalid memory alloc request size 18446744072506499617
postgres=#

Question3:
Here is a bug of function get_bit()
#########################################################
postgres=# select get_bit(j,10) from t1 where i = 1;
2018-11-14 14:15:33.158 CST [20832] ERROR:  index 10 out of valid range,

where i = 1;
ERROR:  index 10 out of valid range, 0..-1
postgres=# select get_bit(j,10) from t1 where i = 3;
2018-11-14 14:15:38.212 CST [20832] ERROR:  index 10 out of valid range,
0..-8388609
2018-11-14 14:15:38.212 CST [20832] STATEMENT:  select get_bit(j,10) from t1
where i = 3;
ERROR:  index 10 out of valid range, 0..-8388609

It is similar to question2. In function byteaGetByte, the type of 'len'
should be int64.


is it a bug?
thanks, 
best regards.
