I'm tired, but perhaps its actually worse - what's being reset currently
is the ESTate's per-tuple context:
if (nBufferedTuples == 0)
{
/*
* Reset the per-tuple exprcontext. We can only do this
if the
* tuple buffer is empty. (Calling the context the
per-tuple
* memory context is a bit of a misnomer now.)
*/
ResetPerTupleExprContext(estate);
}
but the quals are evaluated in the ExprContext's:
ExecQual(ExprState *state, ExprContext *econtext)
...
ret = ExecEvalExprSwitchContext(state, econtext, &isnull);
which is created with:
/* Get an EState's per-output-tuple exprcontext, making it if first use */
#define GetPerTupleExprContext(estate) \
((estate)->es_per_tuple_exprcontext ? \
(estate)->es_per_tuple_exprcontext : \
MakePerTupleExprContext(estate))
and creates its own context:
/*
* Create working memory for expression evaluation in this context.
*/
econtext->ecxt_per_tuple_memory =
AllocSetContextCreate(estate->es_query_cxt,
"ExprContext",
ALLOCSET_DEFAULT_SIZES);
so this is currently just never reset. Seems just using
ExecQualAndReset() ought to be sufficient?
