From 17db248f318f09b143af208fdcc1f067b3b0b2cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2024 12:58:26 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Undo unintentional ABI break in struct ResultRelInfo. Commits aac2c9b4f et al. added a bool field to struct ResultRelInfo. That's no problem in the master branch, but in released branches care must be taken when modifying publicly-visible structs to avoid an ABI break for extensions. Frequently we solve that by adding the new field at the end of the struct, and that's what was done here. But ResultRelInfo has stricter constraints than just about any other node type in Postgres. Some executor APIs require extensions to index into arrays of ResultRelInfo, which means that any change whatever in sizeof(ResultRelInfo) causes a fatal ABI break. Fortunately, this is easy to fix, because the new field can be squeezed into available padding space instead --- indeed, that's where it was put in master, so this fix also removes a cross-branch coding variation. Per report from Pavan Deolasee. Patch v14-v17 only; earlier versions did not gain the extra field, nor is there any problem in master.
