What is more dangerous with float8in_internal_opt_error() is, it has

My bad, I see there's this macro call in float8in_internal_opt_error() and
that
set the flag:

{code}
#define RETURN_ERROR(throw_error) \
do { \
if (have_error) { \
*have_error = true; \
return 0.0; \
} else { \
throw_error; \
} \
} while (0)
{code}

My patch on way, thanks.
