All the errors triggered in the code paths patched here would cause the backend to issue an internal_error errcode, which is a state that should be used only for "can't happen" situations. However, these code paths are reachable by the regression tests, and could be seen by users in valid cases. Some regression tests expect internal errcodes as they manipulate the backend state to cause corruption (like checksums), or use elog() because it is more convenient (like injection points), these have no need to change. This reduces the number of internal failures triggered in a check-world by more than half, while providing correct errcodes for these valid cases.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database, you can simply do CREATE EXTENSION module_name; See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
