Tom Lane d3eaab3ef0 Fix performance bug from conflict between two previous improvements.
My expanded-objects patch (commit 1dc5ebc907) included code to make
plpgsql pass expanded-object variables as R/W pointers to certain functions
that are trusted for modifying such variables in-place.  However, that
optimization got broken by commit 6c82d8d1fd, which arranged to share
a single ParamListInfo across most expressions evaluated by a plpgsql
function.  We don't want a R/W pointer to be passed to other functions
just because we decided one function was safe!  Fortunately, the breakage
was in the other direction, of never passing a R/W pointer at all, because
we'd always have pre-initialized the shared array slot with a R/O pointer.
So it was still functionally correct, but we were back to O(N^2)
performance for repeated use of "a := a || x".  To fix, force an unshared
param array to be used when the R/W param optimization is active.

Commit 6c82d8d1fd is in HEAD only, so no need for a back-patch.

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/.
