I've not been following this thread in detail, but IMO any code anywhere
that thinks that no error can be thrown out of non-straight-line code is
broken beyond redemption. What, for example, happens if we get ENOMEM
within one of the elog.c functions?

I did look through 0007-jsonpath-arithmetic-error-handling-v12.patch,
and I can't believe that's seriously proposed for commit. It's making
some pretty fragile changes in error handling, and so far as I can
find there is not even one line of commentary as to what the new
design rules are supposed to be. Even if it's completely bug-free
today (which I would bet against), how could we keep it so?

regards, tom lane
