Here's an alternate way to deal with this which is a bit more efficient
(code not tested):
- case SEQ_COL_CALLED:
- coldef = makeColumnDef("is_called", BOOLOID, -1, InvalidOid);
- value[i - 1] = BoolGetDatum(false);
- break;
+ default:
+ Assert(i == SEQ_COL_CALLED);
+ coldef = makeColumnDef("is_called", BOOLOID, -1, InvalidOid);
+ value[i - 1] = BoolGetDatum(false);
+ break;
The downside is that any garbage in i will lead to processing as
SEQ_COL_CALLED. But things are already pretty bad in that case, ISTM,
even with the proposed patch (or the original code for that matter).
