This is still an open problem :(

These days this seems to require a context parameter being passed

Oh yes, I forgot to follow up on this.

Yes, I concur. It now needs an acquireLocksOnSubLinks_context with
for_execute = true, but otherwise it should work.

I have a feeling that RLS might suffer from the same issue, but I
haven't looked yet.

Ok, I'll push that then, unless somebody else wants to do the honors.

There's  a similar issue there, yes:
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/20150827124931.GD15922%40awork2.anarazel.de

Are you thinking of that angle, or yet another one?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of - I just hadn't caught up on all my mail.

It also seems to me that this warning has proved its worth, although I
don't think it's something a production build should be producing.
Perhaps it could be an Assert?

Dean

Same here - I plan to re-submit it. Perhaps the number of bugs it found
convinces Tom, after I address some of his points.

It's currently protected by a #ifdef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING. A warning
seems to make it easier to actually run the whole regression test, and
it's consistent with what we do in a bunch of other places.

OK, that seems reasonable.

Done.  Apologies about it taking so long, the TAP test failure issue
with 'make check' had me tied up for a bit.

Thanks!

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.

* [PATCH v1 2/4] Introduce trenary reloptions
@ 2025-08-29 14:12  Nikolay Shaplov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 275+ messages in thread

From: Nikolay Shaplov @ 2025-08-29 14:12 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce trenary reloption as a replacement for current `vacuum_truncate`
implementation. Remove `vacuum_truncate_set` additional flag and using
`TRENARY_UNSET` value instead.
