Description:

/*
Faced with such a unfairness.
I have a do block or function with error handling block.
In case when error type is 42601 (syntax_error) I can't get correct error
context.
The error context contains information about do block or function itself,
but not about last executed instruction.
In the folowing example, if I remove error handling I will happily have such
a message:

ERROR: subquery must return only one column
LINE 1: SELECT (select id, val1 from aaa)

But in case when error handling presents I have only sad:

message_text = subquery must return only one column
pg_exception_context = PL/pgSQL function inline_code_block line 9 at
assignment
pg_exception_detail =

Where information about "SELECT (select id, val1 from aaa)" hided?

Repro script:
*/

create temp table aaa (id int, val1 text);

do language plpgsql $$
declare
        error_message                   text;
        error_detailed_message  text;
        error_context                   text;
        arr_test                                aaa[];
begin
        --arr_test = (select row(id, val1) from aaa);           -- No error, correct call
        arr_test = (select id, val1 from aaa);                  -- Error 42601 syntax_error
exception
        --when syntax_error then
        when others then
                get stacked diagnostics
                        error_message = message_text
            ,error_context = pg_exception_context
                        ,error_detailed_message = pg_exception_detail;

                raise notice 'message_text = %', error_message;
                raise notice 'pg_exception_context = %', error_context;
        raise notice 'pg_exception_detail = %', error_detailed_message;
end
$$;

drop table if exists aaa;
