Hi all,

Coverity is pointing out that as argtypes = NULL in
plperl_call_perl_func@plperl.c, we will have a pointer dereference if
desc->arg_arraytype[i] is not a valid OID, see here:
+       Oid                *argtypes = NULL;
[...]
+       if (fcinfo->flinfo->fn_oid)
+               get_func_signature(fcinfo->flinfo->fn_oid, &argtypes, &nargs);
[...]
                        if (OidIsValid(desc->arg_arraytype[i]))
                                sv =
plperl_ref_from_pg_array(fcinfo->arg[i], desc->arg_arraytype[i]);
+                       else if ((funcid =
get_transform_fromsql(argtypes[i],
current_call_data->prodesc->lang_oid,
current_call_data->prodesc->trftypes)))
+                               sv = (SV *)
DatumGetPointer(OidFunctionCall1(funcid, fcinfo->arg[i]));
AFAIK, fcinfo->flinfo->fn_oid can be InvalidOid in this code path, so
shouldn't we protect a bit the code with something like the patch
attached?
Regards,
