It seems like somebody used a dartboard while choosing integer widths for the various values taken and returned by these functions ... and then threw a fresh set of darts while writing the SQL declarations. This patch brings the C code into line with what the SQL declarations say, which is enough to make it not dump core on the particular 32-bit machine I'm testing on. But I think we could do with another round of looking at what the datum widths *should* be. For instance, it's not all that sensible that hash_bitmap_info decided to use int64 to represent a BlockNumber input when get_raw_page doesn't do it that way. There's also a remaining problem that the expected outputs from the test script are platform-dependent, but I'll leave that issue for somebody else. Per buildfarm.
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
