Обсуждение: bug #1702: nested composite types in plpgsql

Hello, I'm getting this error with the code below (on 8.0.3 like the
other guy in #1702. Is this a hard problem to fix?

Looking at src/pl/plpgsql/src/pl_exec.c for the first time, is it a problem
of make_tuple_from_row() not accounting for nested composite types?

test=# SELECT takes_ct2parts(1, ARRAY['ct2a'], ARRAY['ct1a'], ARRAY['ct1b']);
ERROR:  row not compatible with its own tupdesc

TRUE;END;

Looks that way.  I've committed a fix to HEAD.  I'm not sure how hard
it'd be to fix 8.0.
        regards, tom lane

    Thanks for the fast fix, it's really appreciated.

    I tried to hammer[1] your patch[2] onto the REL8_0_STABLE branch
    (attached), but am getting

    ERROR:  out of memory
    DETAIL:  Failed on request of size 1073741823.
    CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function "breakme" while storing call arguments
    into local variables

    I'm sorry to be a nuisance, but is this interesting enough for
    someone in the know that they'd backport the patch into 8.0?
