I noticed that our code coverage report showed considerable deficiency in test coverage for PL/pgSQL control statements. Notably, both exec_stmt_block and most of the loop control statements had very poor coverage of handling of return/exit/continue result codes from their child statements; and exec_stmt_fori was seriously lacking in feature coverage, having no test that exercised its BY or REVERSE features, nor verification that its overflow defenses work. Now that we have some infrastructure for plpgsql-specific test scripts, the natural thing to do is make a new script rather than further extend plpgsql.sql. So I created a new script plpgsql_control.sql with the charter to test plpgsql control structures, and moved a few existing tests there because they fell entirely under that charter. I then added new test cases that exercise the bits of code complained of above. Of the five kinds of loop statements, only exec_stmt_while's result code handling is fully exercised by these tests. That would be a deficiency as things stand, but a follow-on commit will merge the loop statements' result code handling into one implementation. So testing each usage of that implementation separately seems redundant. In passing, also add a couple test cases to plpgsql.sql to more fully exercise plpgsql's code related to expanded arrays --- I had thought that area was sufficiently covered already, but the coverage report showed a couple of un-executed code paths.

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.
