What we want in these places is "xmlChar *volatile ptr", not "volatile xmlChar *ptr". The former means that the pointer variable itself needs to be treated as volatile, while the latter says that what it points to is volatile. Since the point here is to ensure that the pointer variables don't go crazy after a longjmp, it's the former semantics that we need. The misplacement of "volatile" also led to needing to cast away volatile in some places. Also fix a number of places where variables that are assigned to within a PG_TRY and then used after it were not initialized or not marked as volatile. (A few buildfarm members were issuing "may be used uninitialized" warnings about some of these variables, which is what drew my attention to this area.) In most cases these variables were being set as the last step within the PG_TRY block, which might mean that we could get away without the "volatile" marking. But doing that seems unsafe and is definitely not per our coding conventions. These problems seem to have come in with 732061150, so no need for back-patch.
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.
