Thanks alot for the info, but the problem is elsewhere. Even a simple
function like
Datum
nef(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
Numeric num1 = PG_GETARG_NUMERIC(0);
PG_RETURN_BOOL(true);
}
will crash. The macro PG_GETARG_NUMERIC evaluates to:
((Numeric)pg_detoast_datum((struct varlena *) ((Pointer) ( (fcinfo->arg[0])))
and this pg_detoast_datum will lead to a crash (SIGSEGV). So I think I must
be doing something wrong here, isn't it?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Mario Weilguni
