Why do we warn of a hazard here instead of eliminating said hazard
with a static inline function declaration in executor.h?
/*
* ExecEvalExpr was formerly a function containing a switch statement;
* now it's just a macro invoking the function pointed to by an ExprState
* node. Beware of double evaluation of the ExprState argument!
*/
#define ExecEvalExpr(expr, econtext, isNull) \
((*(expr)->evalfunc) (expr, econtext, isNull))
Should I change that to a static inline function doing exactly what
the macro does? In the absence of multiple evaluations of a
parameter with side effects, modern versions of gcc have generated
the same code for a macro versus a static inline function, at least
in the cases I checked.
