CheckConstraintFetch() leaked a cstring in the caller's context for each CHECK constraint expression it copied into the relcache. Ordinarily that isn't problematic, but it can be during CLOBBER_CACHE testing because so many reloads can happen during a single query; so complicate the code slightly to allow freeing the cstring after use. Per testing on buildfarm member barnacle. This is exactly like the leak fixed in AttrDefaultFetch() by commit 078b2ed291c758e7125d72c3a235f128d40a232b. (Yes, this time I did look for other instances of the same coding pattern :-(.) Like that patch, no back-patch, since it seems unlikely that there's any problem except under very artificial test conditions. BTW, it strikes me that both of these places would require further work comparable to commit ab8c84db2f7af008151b848cf1d6a4672a39eecd, if we ever supported defaults or check constraints on system catalogs: they both assume they are copying into an empty relcache data structure, and that conceivably wouldn't be the case during recursive reloading of a system catalog. This does not seem worth worrying about for the moment, since there is no near-term prospect of supporting any such thing. So I'll just note the possibility for the archives' sake.
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: http://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.
