you have to cast. This code works:
postgres=# create type xxtp as (a integer, b varchar);
CREATE TYPE
Time: 6,458 ms
postgres=# create table xx(a integer, b varchar);
CREATE TABLE
Time: 54,053 ms
postgres=# insert into xx select 1, 'hhh';
INSERT 0 1
Time: 5,993 ms
postgres=# insert into xx select 1, 'hhh';
INSERT 0 1
Time: 3,393 ms
postgres=# insert into xx select 1, 'hhh';
INSERT 0 1
>postgres=# create or replace function x() returns setof xxtp as $$begin return query select * from xx; return;
end$$languageplpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
Time: 4,392 ms
postgres=# select * from x();
a | b
---+-----
1 | hhh
1 | hhh
1 | hhh
(3 rows)
postgres=# create or replace function x() returns setof xxtp as
$$begin return query select 1,'kkk'; return; end$$language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
Time: 4,577 ms
postgres=# select * from x();
ERROR: structure of query does not match function result type
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "x" line 1 at RETURN QUERY
postgres=# create or replace function x() returns setof xxtp as
$$begin return query select 1,'kkk'::varchar; return; end$$language
plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
Time: 3,395 ms
postgres=# select * from x();
a | b
---+-----
1 | kkk
(1 row)
