There's a typo "Instruementation" in the comment, but I'm more surprised that type Size is being used to store a bitmask. It looks weird to me. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to use bits32 or some such? (I first noticed this in the "sizeof(Size)" code that appears in the explain code.) OTOH, aesthetically it would seem to be better to define these values using ones and increasing shifts (1 << 1 and so on), rather than powers of two: > + * TuplesortMethod is used in a bitmask in Increment Sort's shared memory > + * instrumentation so needs to have each value be a separate bit. > */ > typedef enum > { > SORT_TYPE_STILL_IN_PROGRESS = 0, > - SORT_TYPE_TOP_N_HEAPSORT, > - SORT_TYPE_QUICKSORT, > - SORT_TYPE_EXTERNAL_SORT, > - SORT_TYPE_EXTERNAL_MERGE > + SORT_TYPE_TOP_N_HEAPSORT = 2, > + SORT_TYPE_QUICKSORT = 4, > + SORT_TYPE_EXTERNAL_SORT = 8, > + SORT_TYPE_EXTERNAL_MERGE = 16 > } TuplesortMethod; I don't quite understand why you skipped "1".
