Summary

Fixes #1617: in the DO-statement parameter setup of IvyStmtExecute (src/interfaces/libpq/ivy-exec.c), the inner loop searches outbind for info->position == i + 1 and then dereferences info unconditionally. If the caller bound non-contiguous positions (e.g. 1 and 3, skipping 2), info is NULL and info->dtype crashes the client process.

The fix reports "outbind position not found" and cleans up (paramTypes + query_buf) before returning 0, matching the error style of the same function.

Test plan

  • make -C src/interfaces/libpq ivy-exec.o compiles cleanly.
  • Manual: bind positions 1 and 3 of a 3-placeholder statement and execute a DO statement — the client now gets an error instead of crashing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Added validation for missing output parameter bindings.
    • Improved error handling to prevent failures when an output parameter has no corresponding bind entry.

When outbind positions are not contiguous, the inner lookup loop ends
with info == NULL and the subsequent info->dtype dereference crashes
the client. Report an error and clean up instead.

Closes IvorySQL#1617

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

IvyHandleDostmt now detects missing OUT-bind entries before dereferencing them. It reports an error, releases allocated resources, and returns failure.

Changes

OUT-bind validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate missing OUT-bind positions
src/interfaces/libpq/ivy-exec.c
IvyHandleDostmt checks for a matching OUT-bind entry. When none exists, it records an error, frees paramTypes, destroys query_buf, and returns 0.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a8010

This localized fix prevents a client crash when DO-statement parameter positions are non-contiguous and returns an error instead; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.
