Is it like a following structure definition?
typedef struct
{
PlannerInfo *root;
RelOptInfo *joinrel;
RelOptInfo *outerrel;
RelOptInfo *innerrel;
List *restrictlist;
JoinType jointype;
SpecialJoinInfo *sjinfo;
SemiAntiJoinFactors *semifactors;
Relids param_source_rels;
Relids extra_lateral_rels;
} SetJoinPathListArgs;
I agree the idea. It also helps CSP driver implementation where it calls
next driver that was already chained on its installation.
if (set_join_pathlist_next)
set_join_pathlist_next(args);
is more stable manner than
if (set_join_pathlist_next)
set_join_pathlist_next(root,
joinrel,
outerrel,
innerrel,
restrictlist,
jointype,
sjinfo,
semifactors,
param_source_rels,
extra_lateral_rels);
Thanks,
