The ExecutorEnd hook is invoked in a context that could be quite long-lived, not the executor's own per-query context as I think we were sort of assuming. Thus, any cruft generated while producing the EXPLAIN output could accumulate over multiple queries. This can result in spectacular leakage if log_nested_statements is on, and even without that I'm surprised nobody complained before. To fix, just switch into the executor's context so that anything we allocate will be released when standard_ExecutorEnd frees the executor state. We might as well nuke the code's retail pfree of the explain output string, too; that's laughably inadequate to the need. Japin Li, per report from Jeff Janes. This bug is old, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAMkU=1wCVtbeRn0s9gt12KwQ7PLXovbpM8eg25SYocKW3BT4hg@mail.gmail.com
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
