Tom Lane 677708032c Explicitly support the case that a plancache's raw_parse_tree is NULL.
This only happens if a client issues a Parse message with an empty query
string, which is a bit odd; but since it is explicitly called out as legal
by our FE/BE protocol spec, we'd probably better continue to allow it.

Fix by adding tests everywhere that the raw_parse_tree field is passed to
functions that don't or shouldn't accept NULL.  Also make it clear in the
relevant comments that NULL is an expected case.

This reverts commits a73c9dbab0 and
2e9650cbcf, which fixed specific crash
symptoms by hacking things at what now seems to be the wrong end, ie the
callee functions.  Making the callees allow NULL is superficially more
robust, but it's not always true that there is a defensible thing for the
callee to do in such cases.  The caller has more context and is better
able to decide what the empty-query case ought to do.

Per followup discussion of bug #11335.  Back-patch to 9.2.  The code
before that is sufficiently different that it would require development
of a separate patch, which doesn't seem worthwhile for what is believed
to be an essentially cosmetic change.

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.

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/.
