LibPQ: Lifetime of PGresult passed in to PQnoticeReceiver callback - Mailing list pgsql-general

The doc at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-notice-processing.html is not clear to me on whether it should be PQclear'd or not. Who manages the lifetime of that PGresult?

Also, the "could be called as long as either the PGconn or PGresult exist" mention,

implies we do not need to clear the notice callback before PQfinish'ing the connection.

(and that does not seem possible, given passing in a NULL pointer is just a *get* it seems).

Is that correct?

Yet we are seeing our notice callback being called with an invalid PGresult (i.e. crash accessing it).

What could be the reasons for that? I'm assuming user-error in our code, but I don't see why yet.

Thanks for any insights. --DD
