This only happens if a client issues a Parse message with an empty query string, which is a bit odd; but since it is explicitly called out as legal by our FE/BE protocol spec, we'd probably better continue to allow it. Fix by adding tests everywhere that the raw_parse_tree field is passed to functions that don't or shouldn't accept NULL. Also make it clear in the relevant comments that NULL is an expected case. This reverts commits a73c9dbab0165b3395dfe8a44a7dfd16166963c4 and 2e9650cbcff8c8fb0d9ef807c73a44f241822eee, which fixed specific crash symptoms by hacking things at what now seems to be the wrong end, ie the callee functions. Making the callees allow NULL is superficially more robust, but it's not always true that there is a defensible thing for the callee to do in such cases. The caller has more context and is better able to decide what the empty-query case ought to do. Per followup discussion of bug #11335. Back-patch to 9.2. The code before that is sufficiently different that it would require development of a separate patch, which doesn't seem worthwhile for what is believed to be an essentially cosmetic change.
src/backend/parser/README Parser ====== This directory does more than tokenize and parse SQL queries. It also creates Query structures for the various complex queries that are passed to the optimizer and then executor. parser.c things start here scan.l break query into tokens scansup.c handle escapes in input strings kwlookup.c turn keywords into specific tokens keywords.c table of standard keywords (passed to kwlookup.c) gram.y parse the tokens and produce a "raw" parse tree analyze.c top level of parse analysis for optimizable queries parse_agg.c handle aggregates, like SUM(col1), AVG(col2), ... parse_clause.c handle clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, ... parse_coerce.c handle coercing expressions to different data types parse_collate.c assign collation information in completed expressions parse_cte.c handle Common Table Expressions (WITH clauses) parse_expr.c handle expressions like col, col + 3, x = 3 or x = 4 parse_func.c handle functions, table.column and column identifiers parse_node.c create nodes for various structures parse_oper.c handle operators in expressions parse_param.c handle Params (for the cases used in the core backend) parse_relation.c support routines for tables and column handling parse_target.c handle the result list of the query parse_type.c support routines for data type handling parse_utilcmd.c parse analysis for utility commands (done at execution time)
