The API contract for planstate_tree_walker() callbacks is that they take a PlanState pointer and a context pointer. Somebody figured they could save a couple lines of code by ignoring that, and passing ExecShutdownNode itself as the walker even though it has but one argument. Somewhat remarkably, we've gotten away with that so far. However, it seems clear that the upcoming C2x standard means to forbid such cases, and compilers that actively break such code likely won't be far behind. So spend the extra few lines of code to do it honestly with a separate walker function. In HEAD, we might as well go further and remove ExecShutdownNode's useless return value. I left that as-is in back branches though, to forestall complaints about ABI breakage. Back-patch, with the thought that this might become of practical importance before our stable branches are all out of service. It doesn't seem to be fixing any live bug on any currently known platform, however. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/208054.1663534665@sss.pgh.pa.us
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. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
