Tom Lane 8aac9759bb Remove unnecessary pfree() in g_intbig_compress().
GiST compress functions (like all GiST opclass functions) are
supposed to be called in short-lived memory contexts, so that
minor memory leaks in them are not of concern, and indeed
explicit pfree's are likely slightly counterproductive.
But this one in g_intbig_compress() is more than
slightly counterproductive, because it's guarded by
"if (in != DatumGetArrayTypeP(entry->key))" which means
that if this test succeeds, we've detoasted the datum twice.
(And to add insult to injury, the extra detoast result is
leaked.)  Let's just drop the whole stanza, relying on the
GiST temporary context mechanism to clean up in good time.

The analogous bit in g_int_compress() is
       if (r != (ArrayType *) DatumGetPointer(entry->key))
           pfree(r);
which doesn't have the gratuitous-detoast problem so
I left it alone.  Perhaps there is a case for removing
unnecessary pfree's more widely, but I'm not sure if it's
worth the code churn.

The potential extra decompress seems expensive enough to
justify calling this a (minor) performance bug and
back-patching.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
