But the string list is not constructed until the error actually occurs. You don't need a pop at that point --- the call stack is what it is. I think you are imagining that outer-level context hooks should be able to editorialize on what inner-level ones said (or perhaps vice versa?) but I honestly cannot think of a valid use-case for that. > What I would have looked for, is a stack on which functions could push > and pop informations as they want, so that the stack would be always > available for any error or warning or debug trace down the callgraph. Look at the existing examples of adjusting the error_context_stack. They already do all that, they just don't bother to compute the error strings unless actually needed. I'm not willing to push very much cost into the non-error path of control when there's no visible payoff. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
