Nice find. For future reference, since this was just committed, it
might've been better to report it directly in the thread where the change
was discussed.

LGTM. To prevent this from happening in the future, I think we ought to
change SOFT_ERROR_OCCURRED to a static inline function. I tried that, and
I got the following warnings:

execExprInterp.c:4964:27: warning: incompatible pointer types passing 'ErrorSaveContext *' (aka 'struct ErrorSaveContext *') to parameter of type 'Node *' (aka 'struct Node *') [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]

I think we just need to add casts to "Node *" for those. AFAICT there
isn't an actual bug.

[... looks for past discussions ...]

Ah, I noticed this thread, where the same lines of code were discussed:
