Thank you! Now I see how the planner uses the rows to estimate the cost and
generates the best_plan.

To me, tracing the function calls is not a simple task. I'm using cscope, and I
use printf when I'm not entirely sure. I was considering to use gbd, but I'm
having issues referencing the source code in gdb.

I'm very interested to learn how the professionals explore the codebase!
