I see that palloc.h says: The result of palloc() is always word-aligned
void * repalloc(void *pointer, Size size) { ... /* * Try to detect bogus pointers handed to us, poorly though we can. * Presumably, a pointer that isn't MAXALIGNED isn't pointing at an * allocated chunk. */ Assert(pointer != NULL); Assert(pointer == (void *) MAXALIGN(pointer)); ...
so maybe my alignment fear is misplaced. So my remaining question is whether this is OK stylistically.
Something like this? initStringInfoVarlena()/makeStringInfoVarlena() { initStringInfo() appendStringInfoSpaces(jtext, VARHDRSZ); } char* formStringInfoVarlena() { SET_VARSIZE(jtext->data, jtext->len); return jtext->data; } -- Teodor Sigaev E-mail: teo...@sigaev.ru WWW: http://www.sigaev.ru/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
