That's okay, I probably should've read the whole mail before commenting ;-)


I'm confused by the entry flagging pl_comp.c:527:

[BUG] is plpgsql_nDatums 0 here? also, sizeof (plpgsql_nDatums) =
2*sizeof(PLpgSQL_datum *)

Is the thing concerned because malloc(0) may yield NULL on some
platforms?  If so, should I object that it ought to be smart enough to
know the loop won't execute in that case?  Or am I missing something?
Also, I don't understand your comment about the sizeof() relationship.
