>From whitin an aggregate sfunc I did:
oldcontext = MemoryContextSwitchTo(fcinfo->flinfo->fn_mcxt);
geom = (GEOMETRY *)PG_DETOAST_DATUM(datum);
MemoryContextSwitchTo(oldcontext);
And later in aggregate's finalfunc:
pfree(geom);
Result:
segfault!
What's wrong with it ?
NOTE that if I MemoryContextAllocate in fcinfo->flinfo->fn_mcxt and
memcopy DETOASTED geom, everything works (ar at least it seems to)
