Hello,
In the function heap_deform_tuple, there is a comment before caching varlena attributes specifying that the offset will be valid for either an aligned or unaligned value if there are no padding bytes. Could someone please elaborate on this?
Also, why is it safe to call att_align_nominal if the attribute is not varlena? Couldn't att_align_pointer be called for both cases? I am not able to understand how att_align_nominal is faster.
Thanks,
Vignesh
