[HACKERS] BuildTupleFromCStrings Memory Documentation?

2015-04-30 Thread Jason Petersen
Within the core codebase, BuildTupleFromCStrings is often called within a temporary memory context cleared after the call. In dblink.c, this is justified as being needed to “[clean up] not only the data we have direct access to, but anycruft the I/O functions might leak”.I wrote a pretty minimal

Re: [HACKERS] Suspicion of a compiler bug in clang: using ternary operator in ereport()
