The code of reloptions is very historical and illogical. I also noticed that
these lines are repeated several time. And may be it would be better to put
them into reloptions.c. But could anybody clearly explain what are they doing?
Just to give function a proper name. I understand what they are doing, but I
am unable to give short and clear explanation.
I am planning to rewrite this part completely. So we have none of this lines
repeated. I had a proposal you can see it here https://
commitfest.postgresql.org/15/992/ but people on the list told be that patch is
too complex and I should commit it part by part.
So I am doing it now. I am almost done. But to provide clear and logical patch
that introduces my concept, I need StdRdOption to be divided into separated
structures. At least for AM. And I need at to be done as simply as possible
because the rest of the code is going to be rewritten anyway.
That is why I want to follow the steps: make the code uniform, and then
improve it. I have improvement in the pocket, but I need a uniform code before
revealing it.
If you think it is absolutely necessary to put these line into one function, I
will do it. It will not make code more clear, I guess. I See no benefits, but
I can do it, but I would avoid doing it, if possible. At least at this step.
