If we're going to construct varlena objects inside a StringInfo, maybe we need a proper API for it. Isn't there a danger that data member of the StringInfo won't be properly aligned to allow us to do this? In any case, we should get most of the benefit of your patch without this "optimization".
I believe that StringInfo->data is palloc'ed, it means it's MAXALIGNed. -- Teodor Sigaev E-mail: teo...@sigaev.ru WWW: http://www.sigaev.ru/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
