I recently had a usecase for dict_int, typoed my script and spent longer than
I’d like to admit finding said typo. The attached patch scratches my itch by
ensuring that the maxlen parameter to dict_int is integer, instead of silently
setting it to zero on malformed input. Instead of this:
dg=# alter text search dictionary intdict (maxlen = a, rejectlong = true);
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY
dg=# select ts_lexize('intdict', '12345678');
ts_lexize
-----------
{}
(1 row)
.. the attached will error out with “ERROR: maxlen is out of range, must
be integer”, and be more in line with how we handle DefElem values. A quick
grep around the tree didn’t turn up any other defelems doing this so I think
this is the only callsite.
