[HACKERS] Q about InsertIndexResult

[Teodor Sigaev]

Hi!

Insert function of any type of index must returns palloced InsertIndexResult (contains blkno and offset).
This result is returned by index_insert (backend/access/indexam/indexam.c).
This function is called in 3 places:
./access/heap/tuptoaster.c
./catalog/indexing.c
./executor/execUtils.c

But in all this places returned value doesn't used, just pfree'ed (except ./access/heap/tuptoaster.c
where it's checked with NULL).

Q: why? why isn't it a bool value?
Is there some idea which I havn't see?
