I'm not willing to do that for any very large number of functions; the code clutter and runtime overhead would become significant. I had some visions, back when we were first doing the v1-call-convention stuff, that it might be possible to make a script that automatically interprets Datum numeric_add(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) { Numeric num1 = PG_GETARG_NUMERIC(0); Numeric num2 = PG_GETARG_NUMERIC(1); ... PG_RETURN_NUMERIC(res); } and generates a derived version like Numeric numeric_add(Numeric num1, Numeric num2) { ... return res; } We'd probably have to tighten the consistency of formatting a little to make that workable, but it seems more attractive than manually maintaining either two sets of code or a wrapper layer. But before you get too excited about that, there's also the error-handling issue --- and I'm definitely not interested in changing all the subroutines away from elog to funny-return-value conventions. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
