Subject: pgsql: Fix null-bitmap combining in array_agg_array_combine().
Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2026 17:15:11 +0000
Message-ID: <E1w9nXa-003GPu-18@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Fix null-bitmap combining in array_agg_array_combine().

This code missed the need to update the combined state's
nullbitmap if state1 already had a bitmap but state2 didn't.
We need to extend the existing bitmap with 1's but didn't.
This could result in wrong output from a parallelized
array_agg(anyarray) calculation, if the input has a mix of
null and non-null elements.  The errors depended on timing
of the parallel workers, and therefore would vary from one
run to another.

Also install guards against integer overflow when calculating
the combined object's sizes, and make some trivial cosmetic
improvements.
