The patch itself causes a core dump with the current regression tests.
This test:
SELECT array_to_json(array_agg(q),false) FROM ( SELECT $$a$$ || x AS b, y AS c,
ARRAY[ROW(x.*,ARRAY[1,2,3]), ROW(y.*,ARRAY[4,5,6])] AS z FROM generate_series(1,2) x,
generate_series(4,5) y) q;
causes a failure at line 967 of execTuples.c:
Assert(list_length(exprList) == list_length(namesList));
I'm investigating further.
I've been looking at the other places that build RowExprs. Most of them
look OK and none seem clearly in need of fixing at first glance. Which
do you think need attention?
