Tom Lane 309857f9c1 Fix handling of R/W expanded datums that are passed to SQL functions.
fmgr_sql must make expanded-datum arguments read-only, because
it's possible that the function body will pass the argument to
more than one callee function.  If one of those functions takes
the datum's R/W property as license to scribble on it, then later
callees will see an unexpected value, leading to wrong answers.

From a performance standpoint, it'd be nice to skip this in the
common case that the argument value is passed to only one callee.
However, detecting that seems fairly hard, and certainly not
something that I care to attempt in a back-patched bug fix.

Per report from Adam Mackler.  This has been broken since we
invented expanded datums, so back-patch to all supported branches.

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/.
