Thanks for the info. Let's use InputFunctionCallSafeWithInfo().
See that attached patch:
v2-0001-Reuse-fcinfo-used-in-COPY-FROM.patch

I also attach a patch for COPY TO:
v1-0001-Reuse-fcinfo-used-in-COPY-TO.patch

I measured the COPY TO patch on my environment with:
COPY (SELECT 1::int2,2::int2,3::int2,4::int2,5::int2,6::int2,7::int2,8::int2,9::int2,10::int2,11::int2,12::int2,13::int2,14::int2,15::int2,16::int2,17::int2,18::int2,19::int2,20::int2, generate_series(1, 1000000::int4)) TO '/dev/null' \watch c=5

master:
740.066ms
734.884ms
738.579ms
734.170ms
727.953ms

patched:
730.714ms
741.483ms
714.149ms
715.436ms
713.578ms

It seems that it improves performance a bit but my
environment isn't suitable for benchmark. So they may not
be valid numbers.


Thanks,
