When decoding a TRUNCATE record, the relids array was being allocated in the main ReorderBuffer memory context, but not released with the change resulting in a memory leak. The array was also ignored when serializing/deserializing the change, assuming all the information is stored in the change itself. So when spilling the change to disk, we've only we have serialized only the pointer to the relids array. Thanks to never releasing the array, the pointer however remained valid even after loading the change back to memory, preventing an actual crash. This fixes both the memory leak and (de)serialization. The relids array is still allocated in the main ReorderBuffer memory context (none of the existing ones seems like a good match, and adding an extra context seems like an overkill). The allocation is wrapped in a new ReorderBuffer API functions, to keep the details within reorderbuffer.c, just like the other ReorderBufferGet methods do.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
