Tom,
while porting our patches for GiST from 7.0.3 to 7.1 we
got a problem with equal operator for _int4 -
src/backend/access/gist.c:540
/* did union leave decompressed version of oldud unchanged? */ FunctionCall3(&giststate->equalFn,
PointerGetDatum(ev0p->pred), PointerGetDatum(datum),
PointerGetDatum(&result));
this call produces core when one of the PointerGetDatum(ev0p->pred)
or PointerGetDatum(datum) is NULL
We use internal postgres function for array comparison -&giststate->equalFn is references to array_eq
There is no problem in 7.0.3
Do you have any idea what could be a reason for such behaivour ?
(bug or feature :-)
regards,
Oleg
