Order of InvokeObjectPostAlterHook within ATExecSetNotNull - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hello hackers!

The commit 14e87ff added pg_constraint rows for not-null [1]. The
consequence of the patch is that it changed the order of
InvokeObjectPostAlterHook() call and update of "attnotnull" field in
the catalog. Before the update was before the call of the hook [2].
And now "attnotnull" is updated after the call of
InvokeObjectPostAlterHook() [3].

This is a noticeable change to extensions which use
"object_access_hook" since they see a bit of stale information about
the attribute.

Is this an intended behavior or rather a bug?
