Now that commit fec0778c8 drew a clear line between public and private fields in SPITupleTable, it seems pretty silly that the count of valid tuples isn't on the public side of that line. The reason why not was that there wasn't such a count. For reasons lost in the mists of time, spi.c preferred to keep a count of remaining free entries in the array. But that seems pretty pointless: it's unlike the way we handle similar code everywhere else, and it involves extra subtractions that surely outweigh having to do a comparison rather than test-for-zero to check for array-full. Hence, rearrange so that this code does the expansible array logic the same as everywhere else, with a count of valid entries alongside the allocated array length. And document the count as public. I looked for core-code callers where it would make sense to start relying on tuptable->numvals rather than the separate SPI_processed variable. Right now there don't seem to be places where it'd be a win to do so without more code restructuring than I care to undertake today. In principle, though, having SPITupleTables be fully self-contained should be helpful down the line. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16852.1563395722@sss.pgh.pa.us
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
