Tom Lane 0900ac2d0d Fix plpgsql's reporting of plan-time errors in possibly-simple expressions.
exec_simple_check_plan and exec_eval_simple_expr attempted to call
GetCachedPlan directly.  This meant that if an error was thrown during
planning, the resulting context traceback would not include the line
normally contributed by _SPI_error_callback.  This is already inconsistent,
but just to be really odd, a re-execution of the very same expression
*would* show the additional context line, because we'd already have cached
the plan and marked the expression as non-simple.

The problem is easy to demonstrate in 9.2 and HEAD because planning of a
cached plan doesn't occur at all until GetCachedPlan is done.  In earlier
versions, it could only be an issue if initial planning had succeeded, then
a replan was forced (already somewhat improbable for a simple expression),
and the replan attempt failed.  Since the issue is mainly cosmetic in older
branches anyway, it doesn't seem worth the risk of trying to fix it there.
It is worth fixing in 9.2 since the instability of the context printout can
affect the results of GET STACKED DIAGNOSTICS, as per a recent discussion
on pgsql-novice.

To fix, introduce a SPI function that wraps GetCachedPlan while installing
the correct callback function.  Use this instead of calling GetCachedPlan
directly from plpgsql.

Also introduce a wrapper function for extracting a SPI plan's
CachedPlanSource list.  This lets us stop including spi_priv.h in
pl_exec.c, which was never a very good idea from a modularity standpoint.

In passing, fix a similar inconsistency that could occur in SPI_cursor_open,
which was also calling GetCachedPlan without setting up a context callback.

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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
