It appears the cstring_to_text function is unique to the latest
PostgreSQL code. I do not have a def for that for PostgreSQL 8.2, and
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about that. cstring_to_text has been added only
recently (it's not even it 8.3, silly me).
Datum pl_masterkey(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
char *e_var = getenv("PGMASTERKEY");
size_t length = e_var != NULL ? strlen(e_var) : 0;
text * mkey = (text *) palloc(length);
VARATT_SIZEP(mkey) = length;
memcpy(VARDATA(mkey), e_var, length);
PG_RETURN_TEXT_P(mkey);
}
You forgot to palloc space for the varlena header. You need an extra
VARHDRSZ bytes for the header, in addition to what is needed for your data.
Try something like this:
Datum
pl_masterkey(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
char *e_var;
size_t length;
text *mkey;
e_var = getenv("PGMASTERKEY");
length = e_var ? strlen(e_var) : 0;
mkey = (text *) palloc(VARHDRSZ + length);
VARATT_SIZEP(mkey) = VARHDRSZ + length;
memcpy(VARDATA(mkey), e_var, length);
PG_RETURN_TEXT_P(mkey);
}
