/*
 * ErrorSaveContext -
 *		function call context node for handling of "soft" errors
 *
 * A caller wishing to trap soft errors must initialize a struct like this
 * with all fields zero/NULL except for the NodeTag.  Optionally, set
 * details_wanted = true if more than the bare knowledge that a soft error
 * occurred is required.  The struct is then passed to a SQL-callable function
 * via the FunctionCallInfo.context field; or below the level of SQL calls,
 * it could be passed to a subroutine directly.
 *
 * After calling code that might report an error this way, check
 * error_occurred to see if an error happened.  If so, and if details_wanted
 * is true, error_data has been filled with error details (stored in the
 * callee's memory context!).  FreeErrorData() can be called to release
 * error_data, although that step is typically not necessary if the called
 * code was run in a short-lived context.
