From d427b180afccc5ac258e0992522f02555b979fb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2007 22:12:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix elog.c to avoid infinite recursion (leading to backend crash) when log_min_error_statement is active and there is some problem in logging the current query string; for example, that it's too long to include in the log message without running out of memory. This problem has existed since the log_min_error_statement feature was introduced. No doubt the reason it wasn't detected long ago is that 8.2 is the first release that defaults log_min_error_statement to less than PANIC level. Per report from Bill Moran. --- src/backend/utils/error/elog.c | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/utils/error/elog.c b/src/backend/utils/error/elog.c index f1799609b4..627a2e94e0 100644 --- a/src/backend/utils/error/elog.c +++ b/src/backend/utils/error/elog.c @@ -254,11 +254,16 @@ errstart(int elevel, const char *filename, int lineno, MemoryContextReset(ErrorContext); /* - * If we recurse more than once, the problem might be something - * broken in a context traceback routine.
