IMO this behavior change is not good. For example, because it seems to break at least the following case. I think that
theseare the valid steps, but with the patch, the server fails to start up at the step #2 because pg_trgm's custom
parametersare treated as invalid ones.
1. Add the following two pg_trgm parameters to postgresql.conf
- pg_trgm.similarity_threshold
- pg_trgm.strict_word_similarity_threshold
2. Start the server
3. Run "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm" and then use pg_trgm
When I compiled PostgreSQL with the patch, I got the following
compilation failure.
guc.c:5453:4: error: implicit declaration of function 'EmitErrorsOnPlaceholders' is invalid in C99
[-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
EmitErrorsOnPlaceholders(placeholder);
^
- ereport(WARNING,
+ ereport(ERROR,
I'm still not sure why you were thinking that ERROR is more proper here.
