Yeah, added.
I tested the various error paths this patch modifies with a debugger,
and found out that the getCopyStart changes were not doing much good.
The caller still waits for the COPY-IN result, so it still gets stuck.
So I left out that change.
The getParamDescriptions() changes were slightly broken. It didn't read
the whole input message with pqGetInt() etc., so pqParseInput3() threw
the "message contents do not agree with length in message type" error. I
started fixing that, by changing the error handling in that function to
be more like that in getRowDescriptions(), but then I realized that all
the EOF return cases in the pqParseInput3() subroutines are actually
dead code. pqParseInput3() always reads the whole message, before
passing it on to the right subroutine. That was documented for
getRowDescriptions() and getAnotherTuple(), but the rest of the
functions were more like the protocol version 2 code, prepared to deal
with incomplete messages. I think it would be good to refactor that,
removing the EOF return cases altogether. So I left out that change for
now as well.
That left me with the attached patch. It doesn't handle the
getParamDescription() case, nor the getCopyStart() case, but it's a
start. We don't necessarily need to fix everything in one go. Does this
look correct to you, as far as it goes?
