pgcrypto has an abstraction for palloc/pfree via PX_OWN_ALLOC with the intention to make it easy to swap out for another allocator. There are however a number of palloc calls that have snuck in over the years, so the abstraction is leaking a fair bit making it less useful. Since there have been no complaints that I can see (searching the archives for PX_OWN_ALLOC yields zero threads, and px_alloc none about this topic) then maybe it's time to remove it and simplify the code?
The attached removes it in favor of using palloc() et.al directly. Is there any reason to keep it around still? cheers ./daniel
