Hi, While testing "Optimize tuple deformation”, I found a bug: ``` evantest=# create table t (a int not null, evantest(# g int generated always as (a+1) virtual not null, evantest(# b int not null); CREATE TABLE evantest=# insert into t (a, b) values (10, 20); INSERT 0 1 evantest=# select a, g, b from t; a | g | b ----+----+--- 10 | 11 | 0 (1 row) ```
Here, b was inserted as 20, but select only returned 0.
I think the problem is in finding the first non-guaranteed attribute where
virtual generated attributes are not considered:
```
for (int i = 0; i < tupdesc->natts; i++)
{
CompactAttribute *cattr = TupleDescCompactAttr(tupdesc, i);
/*
* Find the highest attnum which is guaranteed to exist in all
tuples
* in the table. We currently only pay attention to byval
attributes
* to allow additional optimizations during tuple deformation.
*/
if (firstNonGuaranteedAttr == tupdesc->natts &&
(cattr->attnullability != ATTNULLABLE_VALID ||
!cattr->attbyval ||
cattr->atthasmissing || cattr->attisdropped ||
cattr->attlen <= 0))
firstNonGuaranteedAttr = i;
```
To fix this, we should consider virtual generated attributes as non-guaranteed.
The tricky part is that cattr->attgenerated is only a boolean and cannot
distinguish virtual generated from stored. So we have to further check
TupleDescAttr(tupdesc, i)->attgenerated. In the patch, I changed the check as
follows:
```
if (firstNonGuaranteedAttr == tupdesc->natts &&
(cattr->attnullability != ATTNULLABLE_VALID ||
!cattr->attbyval ||
cattr->atthasmissing || cattr->attisdropped ||
cattr->attlen <= 0 ||
(cattr->attgenerated &&
TupleDescAttr(tupdesc, i)->attgenerated ==
ATTRIBUTE_GENERATED_VIRTUAL)))
firstNonGuaranteedAttr = i;
```
This way, we only check TupleDescAttr(tupdesc, i)->attgenerated when needed.
See the attached patch for details. I also added a regression test case to
cover this fix. With the fix, select now returns correct values:
```
evantest=# select a, g, b from t;
a | g | b
----+----+----
10 | 11 | 20
(1 row)
```
