David Rowley d16a0c1e2e Verify that attribute counts match in ExecCopySlot
tts_virtual_copyslot() contained an Assert that checked that the srcslot
contained <= attributes than the dstslot.  This seems to be backwards as
if the srcslot contained fewer attributes then the dstslot could be left
with stale Datum values from the previously stored tuple.  It might make
more sense to allow the source to contain additional attributes and only
copy the leading ones that also exist in the destination, however, that's
not what we're doing here.

Here we just remove the Assert from tts_virtual_copyslot() and add an
Assert to ExecCopySlot() to verify the attribute counts match.  There
does not seem to be any places where the destination contains fewer
attributes, so instead of going to the trouble of making the code
properly handle this, let's just ensure the attribute counts match.  If
this Assert fails then that will indicate that we do have cases that
require us to handle the srcslot with more attributes than the dstslot.
It seems better to only write this code if there's a genuine requirement
for it rather than write it now only to leave it untested.

Thanks to Andres Freund for helping with the analysis of this.

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.

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.  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, and related software, may be
obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information
look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
