Tom Lane 051d1ba7a0 Avoid recursion while processing ELSIF lists in plpgsql. 
The original implementation of ELSIF in plpgsql converted the construct
into nested simple IF statements.  This was prone to stack overflow with
long ELSIF lists, in two different ways.  First, it's difficult to generate
the parsetree without using right-recursion in the bison grammar, and
that's prone to parser stack overflow since nothing can be reduced until
the whole list has been read.  Second, we'd recurse during execution, thus
creating an unnecessary risk of execution-time stack overflow.  Rewrite
so that the ELSIF list is represented as a flat list, scanned via iteration
not recursion, and generated through left-recursion in the grammar.
Per a gripe from Håvard Kongsgård.

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
