I am encountering, here and there, an idiom like pstrdup(TextDatumGetCString(foo))
or a pre-8.4 version, pstrdup(DatumGetCString(DirectFunctionCall1(textout, foo))) It's leading me to question my sanity because it appears to me that both text_to_cstring (underlying TextDatumGetCString) and textout already return a string palloc'd in the current context, and that pstrdup (without any change of context) can't be accomplishing anything. I'm probably missing something crucial, but what? -Chap -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
