Yea, I was making that statement when not aiming for v10. Attached is a
patch that converts just ExecProcNode. The big change in comparison to
the earlier patch is that the assignment of the callback is now done in
the respective ExecInit* routines. As a consequence the ExecProcNode
callbacks now are static. I think we should do this fully in v11, I
removing dispatch routines like ExecInitNode() is a good idea, both
because it moves concerns more towards the nodes themselves - given the
growth of executor nodes that strikes me as a good idea.
I've also added stack depth checks to ExecEndNode(),
MultiExecProcNode(), ExecShutdownNode(), because it's not guaranteed
that ExecProcNode is called for every node...
I dislike having the miscadmin.h include in executor.h - but I don't
quite see a better alternative.
I want to run this through pgindent before merging, otherwise we'll
presumably end up with a lot of noise.
I still think we should backpatch at least the check_stack_depth() calls
in ExecInitNode(), ExecEndNode().

Andres Freund
