Fix re-execution of a failed SQLFunctionCache entry.
If we error out during execution of a SQL-language function, we will
often leave behind non-null pointers in its SQLFunctionCache's cplan
and eslist fields. This is problematic if the SQLFunctionCache is
re-used, because those pointers will point at resources that were
released during error cleanup. This problem escaped detection so far
because ordinarily we won't re-use an FmgrInfo+SQLFunctionCache struct
after a query error. However, in the rather improbable case that
someone implements an opclass support function in SQL language, there
will be long-lived FmgrInfos for it in the relcache, and then the
problem is reachable after the function throws an error.
To fix, add a flag to SQLFunctionCache that tracks whether execution
escapes out of fmgr_sql, and clear out the relevant fields during
init_sql_fcache if so. (This is going to need more thought if we ever
try to share FMgrInfos across threads; but it's very far from being
the only problem such a project will encounter, since many functions
regard fn_extra as being query-local state.)
This broke at commit 0313c5dc6; before that we did not try to re-use
SQLFunctionCache state across calls. Hence, back-patch to v18.
