Detect whether plpgsql assignment targets are "local" variables.
Mark whether the target of a potentially optimizable assignment
is "local", in the sense of being declared inside any exception
block that could trap an error thrown from the assignment.
(This implies that we needn't preserve the variable's value
in case of an error. This patch doesn't do anything with the
knowledge, but the next one will.)
Normally, this requires a post-parsing scan of the function's
parse tree, since we don't know while parsing a BEGIN ...
construct whether we will find EXCEPTION at its end. However,
if there are no BEGIN ... EXCEPTION blocks in the function at
all, then all assignments are local, even those to variables
representing function arguments. We optimize that common case
by initializing the target_is_local flags to "true", and fixing
them up with a post-scan only if we found EXCEPTION.
Note that variables' default-value expressions are never interesting
for expanded-variable optimization, since they couldn't contain a
reference to the target variable anyway. But the code is set up
to compute their target_param and target_is_local correctly anyway,
for consistency and in case someone thinks of a use for that data.
I added a bit of plpgsql_dumptree support to help verify that this
code sets the flags as expected. I also added a plpgsql_dumptree
call in plpgsql_compile_inline. It was at best an oversight that
"#option dump" didn't work in a DO block; now it does.
