For a scalar left operand, agtype_exists_agtype() passes the result of
extract_entity_properties() straight to agtype_value_to_agtype(). For an
agtype null (or an entity whose properties are null) that result is NULL,
so the backend dereferences a NULL pointer and the postmaster restarts:
SELECT 'null'::agtype ? '"a"'::agtype;
Return false when there are no properties to search, the same answer the
operator already gives for other non-container scalars such as '1' or
'"s"'. Add regression cases to jsonb_operators.
Fixes apache#2562

Fixes #2562.
SELECT 'null'::agtype ? '"a"'::agtype;crashes the backend with SIGSEGV. Inagtype_exists_agtype(),extract_entity_properties(agt, false)returns NULL for an agtype null scalar (and for an entity with null properties), and that NULL goes straight intoagtype_value_to_agtype().The fix checks for NULL and returns false, which is what
?already returns for other non-container scalars like'1'or'"s"'. I left?|/?&alone since they already raise a clean error for this input. I also added two cases toregress/sql/jsonb_operators.sql.Testing, against PostgreSQL 18.6 built from source:
make installcheckcrashes injsonb_operators(17 of 44 failed).f.'1' ? '"a"'still returnsf, and the vertex and object cases still returnt.make installcheck: all 44 tests passed.
