We don't need to manually clean up allocations in a SRF's multi_call_memory_ctx, because the SRF_RETURN_DONE infrastructure takes care of that (and also ensures that it will happen even if the function never gets a final call, which simple manual cleanup cannot do). Hence, the code removed by this patch is a waste of code and cycles. Worse, it gives the impression that cleaning up manually is a thing, which can lead to more serious errors such as those fixed in commits 085b6b667 and b4570d33a. So we should get rid of it. These are not quite actual bugs though, so I couldn't muster the enthusiasm to back-patch. Fix in HEAD only. Justin Pryzby Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200308173103.GC1357@telsasoft.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.
