I see that palloc.h says:
The result of palloc() is always word-aligned
void *
repalloc(void *pointer, Size size)
{
...
/*
* Try to detect bogus pointers handed to us, poorly though we can.
* Presumably, a pointer that isn't MAXALIGNED isn't pointing at an
* allocated chunk.
*/
Assert(pointer != NULL);
Assert(pointer == (void *) MAXALIGN(pointer));
...
so maybe my alignment fear is misplaced. So my remaining question is
whether this is OK stylistically.
Something like this?
initStringInfoVarlena()/makeStringInfoVarlena()
{
initStringInfo()
appendStringInfoSpaces(jtext, VARHDRSZ);
}
char*
formStringInfoVarlena()
{
SET_VARSIZE(jtext->data, jtext->len);
return jtext->data;
}
