Hi All,
While working on partition-wise join, I had to examine Relids objects
many times. Printing the Bitmapset::words[] in binary format and then
inferring the relids takes time and is error prone. Instead I wrote a
function bms_to_char() which allocates a StringInfo, calls
outBitmapset() to decode Bitmapset as a set of integers and returns
the string. In order to examine a Relids object all one has to do is
execute 'p bms_to_char(bms_object) under gdb.
Is there a way, this can be included in the code? If it's available in
the code, developers don't have to apply the patch and compile it for
debugging.
