I noticed that PL/Python uses a simple wrapper around malloc that does
ereport(FATAL) if malloc returns NULL. I find it a bit harsh, don't we
normally do ERROR if we run out of memory?
And while looking at how PL/Perl does these things I find that one
failed malloc (in compile_plperl_function) throws an ERROR, and the rest
(in plperl_spi_prepare) are simply unguarded...
I guess PL/Python should stop throwing FATAL errors and PL/Perl should
get its own malloc_or_ERROR helper and start using that.
Cheers,
