If a domain type has a default, adding a column of that type (without any explicit DEFAULT clause) failed to install the domain's default value in existing rows, instead leaving the new column null. This is unexpected, and it used to work correctly before v11. The cause is confusion in the atthasmissing mechanism about which default value to install: we'd only consider installing an explicitly-specified default, and then we'd decide that no table rewrite is needed. To fix, take the responsibility for filling attmissingval out of StoreAttrDefault, and instead put it into ATExecAddColumn's existing logic that derives the correct value to fill the new column with. Also, centralize the logic that determines the need for default-related table rewriting there, instead of spreading it over four or five places. In the back branches, we'll leave the attmissingval-filling code in StoreAttrDefault even though it's now dead, for fear that some extension may be depending on that functionality to exist there. A separate HEAD-only patch will clean up the now-useless code.

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check".
