[HACKERS] forming tuple as an attribute inside another tuple in c function

[Marios Vodas]

Is it posible? Either by using heap_form_tuple or BuildTupleFromCStrings.

CREATE TYPE p_type AS
(

x double precision,
y double precision

);
CREATE TYPE d_type AS
(

i p_type,
e p_type,
id integer

);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION demo()
RETURNS d_type
AS '/home/user/PostgreSQL/9.0/lib/mylib','demo'
LANGUAGE C STRICT;

Datum demo(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) {

    float8 xi = 1;

    float8 yi = 2;

    float8 xe = 3;

    float8 ye = 4;

    int32 id = 1;

    bool isnull;


    TupleDesc tupdesc;

    Datum values[3];

    HeapTuple tuple;


    if (get_call_result_type(fcinfo, NULL, &tupdesc) != TYPEFUNC_COMPOSITE)
{

        ereport(ERROR, (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
errmsg("function returning record called in context that cannot accept type
record")));

    }


    BlessTupleDesc(tupdesc);


*    values[0] = ?;                                             //how?**
*

*    values[1] = ?;**                                             //how?*

    values[2] = Int32GetDatum(id);


    tuple = heap_form_tuple(tupdesc, values, &isnull);


    PG_RETURN_DATUM(HeapTupleGetDatum(tuple));
}
