The stack trace is:
#0 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
#1 0x00000000006c18e9 in InputFunctionCall (flinfo=0x2a039a0,
str=0x0, typioparam=0, typmod=-1)
#2 0x00007ff6d2bdf950 in plperl_func_handler (fcinfo=0x7fff4743bec0)
at plperl.c:1729
which happens because prodesc->result_in_func.fn_addr (flinfo) is
NULL. That happens because when we are a trigger we don't setup
input/output conversion. And with the change we get the same
proc_desc for triggers and non triggers, so if the trigger function
gets called first, any call to the direct function will use the same
proc_desc with the wrong input/out conversion.
There is a check so that trigger functions can not be called as plain
functions, but it only gets called when we do not have an entry in
plperl_proc_hash. I think just moving that up, something the like the
attached should be enough. Thoughts?
