PG16 PostgreSQL 16 crashing on raster install

[robe]

I thought it was just my setup, but debbie is having the same issue with her PG16 run as I am

It just crashes. ON mine it crashes on line 100 of rtpostgis.sql

As best I can tell, this started happening with the commit of

​https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=a73952b795632b2cf5acada8476e7cf75857e9be

I haven't checked to see what that line corresponds to yet.

Commit a73952b795632b2cf5acada8476e7cf75857e9be by michael

Add check on initial and boot values when loading GUCs

This commit adds a function to perform a cross-check between the initial
value of the C declaration associated to a GUC and its actual boot
value in assert-enabled builds.  The purpose of this is to prevent
anybody reading these C declarations from being fooled by mismatched
values before they are loaded at program startup.

The following rules apply depending on the GUC type:
* bool - can be false, or same as boot_val.
* int - can be 0, or same as the boot_val.
* real - can be 0.0, or same as the boot_val.
* string - can be NULL, or strcmp'd equal to the boot_val.
* enum - equal to the boot_val.

This is done for the system as well custom GUCs loaded by external
modules, which may require extension developers to adapt the C
declaration of the variables used by these GUCs (testing this change
with some of my own modules has allowed me to catch some stupid typos,
FWIW).  This may finish by being a bad experiment depending on the
feedbcak received, but let's see how it goes.

On my setup lines 95 - 107 are these and it is crashing at 100

I should add debbie doesn't build with every push of postgresql master. So the error would lie anywhere after this commit

​https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=d9d873bac67047cfacc9f5ef96ee488f2cb0f1c3: Clean up some inconsistencies with GUC declarations (details)

and on or before the above commit - ​https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=a73952b795632b2cf5acada8476e7cf75857e9be

yap confirmed running this is sufficient to crash my backend:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION raster_in(cstring)
    RETURNS raster
    AS 'C:/ming64gcc81/projects/postgis/postgis-git/regress/00-regress-install/lib/postgis_raster-3.4','RASTER_in'
    LANGUAGE 'c' IMMUTABLE STRICT PARALLEL SAFE;

Sadly gdb is of no help here.

There is no backtrace of meaning

I'm guessing it's failing in the _PG_init(void) of raster, which is where default boot values are set.
