Since commit e7b3349a8ad7afaad565c573fbd65fb46af6abbe, MergeAttributes destructively modifies the input List, to which the caller's CreateStmt still points. One may wonder whether this was already a bug, but commit f0e44751d7175fa3394da2c8f85e3ceb3cdbfe63 made things noticeably worse by adding additional destructive modifications so that the caller's List might, in the case of creation a partitioned table, no longer even be structurally valid. Restore the status quo ante by assigning the return value of MergeAttributes back to stmt->tableElts in the caller. In most of the places where DefineRelation is called, it doesn't matter what stmt->tableElts points to here or whether it's valid or not, because the caller doesn't use the statement for anything after DefineRelation returns anyway. However, ProcessUtilitySlow passes it to EventTriggerCollectSimpleCommand, and that function tries to invoke copyObject on it. If any of the CreateStmt's substructure is invalid at that point, undefined behavior will result. One might wonder whether this whole area needs further revision - perhaps DefineRelation() ought not to be destructively modifying the caller-provided CreateStmt at all. However, that would be a behavior change for any event triggers using C code to inspect the CreateStmt, so for now, just fix the crash. Report by Amit Langote, who provided a somewhat different patch for it. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/bf6a39a7-100a-74bd-1156-3c16a1429d88@lab.ntt.co.jp
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.
