Bug with function returning composite types. - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Functions that return composite types are called more times than expected.

Example script:
---------------
begin;

create table composite_types_test (
    a integer,
    b integer,
    c integer,
    d integer,
    e integer,
    f integer,
    g integer,
    h integer,
    i integer,
    j integer
);

insert into composite_types_test values (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);

create function bug_function () returns composite_types_test
volatile
language plpgsql
as  $$
declare r composite_types_test;
begin
    select * into r from composite_types_test;
    raise notice 'in bug_function';
    return r;
end;
$$;

select bug_function();

select (bug_function()).*;
rollback;

Example Output:
---------------
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE
INSERT 0 1
CREATE FUNCTION
psql:sql/bug_example.sql:30: NOTICE:  in bug_function
     bug_function=20=20=20=20=20=20
