Tom Lane d3a557894c Re-simplify management of inStart in pqParseInput3's subroutines.
Commit 92785dac2 copied some logic related to advancement of inStart
from pqParseInput3 into getRowDescriptions and getAnotherTuple,
because it wanted to allow user-defined row processor callbacks to
potentially longjmp out of the library, and inStart would have to be
updated before that happened to avoid an infinite loop.  We later
decided that that API was impossibly fragile and reverted it, but
we didn't undo all of the related code changes, and this bit of
messiness survived.  Undo it now so that there's just one place in
pqParseInput3's processing where inStart is advanced; this will
simplify addition of better tracing support.

getParamDescriptions had grown similar processing somewhere along
the way (not in 92785dac2; I didn't track down just when), but it's
actually buggy because its handling of corrupt-message cases seems to
have been copied from the v2 logic where we lacked a known message
length.  The cases where we "goto not_enough_data" should not simply
return EOF, because then we won't consume the message, potentially
creating an infinite loop.  That situation now represents a
definitively corrupt message, and we should report it as such.

Although no field reports of getParamDescriptions getting stuck in
a loop have been seen, it seems appropriate to back-patch that fix.
I chose to back-patch all of this to keep the logic looking more alike
in 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/.
