Working patch attached. If everyone's happy I'll apply it.
Why not put the create-time length test into EnumValuesCreate's loop,
which has to grovel through the list already?
My idea was to do the error check before calling TypeCreate. If that
doesn't matter I can move it - it just seemed a bit cleaner to do it
that way than to have to roll back a change to pg_type.
I'm wondering why bother with the temp variable in cstring_enum,
as opposed to just "if (strlen(name) >= NAMEDATALEN)"?
Originally I was going to use the length in the message. But I have
changed it now.
Also, a comment about why the test is necessary seems appropriate,
since otherwise someone might think it redundant:
/* must check length to prevent Assert failure within SearchSysCache */
OK
Lastly, a three-part regression test for this seems a bit silly.
Or a lot silly. If we added test cases for every niggling little
bug we fix, the regression tests would be taking an hour to run
and would be less productive, not more, because people wouldn't
run them as often.
OK.
cheers
