Tom Lane 80fb2c1f40 Repair memory leakage while ANALYZE-ing complex index expressions.
The general design of memory management in Postgres is that intermediate
results computed by an expression are not freed until the end of the tuple
cycle.  For expression indexes, ANALYZE has to re-evaluate each expression
for each of its sample rows, and it wasn't bothering to free intermediate
results until the end of processing of that index.  This could lead to very
substantial leakage if the intermediate results were large, as in a recent
example from Jakub Ouhrabka.  Fix by doing ResetExprContext for each sample
row.  This necessitates adding a datumCopy step to ensure that the final
expression value isn't recycled too.  Some quick testing suggests that this
change adds at worst about 10% to the time needed to analyze a table with
an expression index; which is annoying, but seems a tolerable price to pay
to avoid unexpected out-of-memory problems.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
