Commit 0f21db36d made an assumption that GIN triConsistentFns would not modify their input entryRes[] arrays. But in fact, the "shim" triConsistentFn that we use for opclasses that don't supply their own did exactly that, potentially leading to wrong answers from a GIN index search. Through bad luck, none of the test cases that we have for such opclasses exposed the bug. One response to this could be that the assumption of consistency check functions not modifying entryRes[] arrays is a bad one, but it still seems reasonable to me. Notably, shimTriConsistentFn is itself assuming that with respect to the underlying boolean consistentFn, so it's sure being self-centered in supposing that it gets to do so. Fortunately, it's quite simple to fix shimTriConsistentFn to restore the entry-time state of entryRes[], so let's do that instead. This issue doesn't affect any core GIN opclasses, since they all supply their own triConsistentFns. It does affect contrib modules btree_gin, hstore, and intarray. Along the way, I (tgl) noticed that shimTriConsistentFn failed to pick up on a "recheck" flag returned by its first call to the boolean consistentFn. This may be only a latent problem, since it would be unlikely for a consistentFn to set recheck for the all-false case and not any other cases. (Indeed, none of our contrib modules do that.) Nonetheless, it's formally wrong.

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.
