What's more, when we do modify them, + * having to recopy all the rest of the value can be extremely inefficient. + * Therefore, we provide a notion of an "expanded" representation that is used + * only in memory and is optimized more for computation than storage. + * The format appearing on disk is called the data type's "flattened" + * representation, since it is required to be a contiguous blob of bytes -- + * but the type can have an expanded representation that is not. Data types + * must provide means to translate an expanded representation back to + * flattened form. + * + * An expanded object is meant to survive across multiple operations, but + * not to be enormously long-lived; for example it might be a local variable + * in a PL/pgSQL procedure. So its extra bulk compared to the on-disk format + * is a worthwhile trade-off. + * + * References to expanded objects are a type of TOAST pointer. + * Because of longstanding conventions in Postgres, this means that the + * flattened form of such an object must always be a varlena object. + * Fortunately that's no restriction in practice. + * + * There are actually two kinds of TOAST pointers for expanded objects: + * read-only and read-write pointers. Possession of one of the latter + * authorizes a function to modify the value in-place rather than copying it + * as would normally be required. Functions should always return a read-write + * pointer to any new expanded object they create. Functions that modify an + * argument value in-place must take care that they do not corrupt the old + * value if they fail partway through. + * + * + * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2022, PostgreSQL Global Development Group + * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California + * + * src/include/utils/expandeddatum.h + * + *------------------------------------------------------------------------- + */ +#ifndef EXPANDEDDATUM_H +#define EXPANDEDDATUM_H + +/* Size of an EXTERNAL datum that contains a pointer to an expanded object */ +#define EXPANDED_POINTER_SIZE (VARHDRSZ_EXTERNAL + sizeof(varatt_expanded)) + +/* + * "Methods" that must be provided for any expanded object. + * + * get_flat_size: compute space needed for flattened representation (total, + * including header). + * + * flatten_into: construct flattened representation in the caller-allocated + * space at *result, of size allocated_size (which will always be the result + * of a preceding get_flat_size call; it's passed for cross-checking). + * + * The flattened representation must be a valid in-line, non-compressed, + * 4-byte-header varlena object. + * + * Note: construction of a heap tuple from an expanded datum calls + * get_flat_size twice, so it's worthwhile to make sure that that doesn't + * incur too much overhead. + */ +typedef Size (*EOM_get_flat_size_method) (ExpandedObjectHeader *eohptr); +typedef void (*EOM_flatten_into_method) (ExpandedObjectHeader *eohptr, + void *result, Size allocated_size); + +/* Struct of function pointers for an expanded object's methods */ +typedef struct ExpandedObjectMethods +{ + EOM_get_flat_size_method get_flat_size; + EOM_flatten_into_method flatten_into; +} ExpandedObjectMethods; + +/* + * Every expanded object must contain this header; typically the header + * is embedded in some larger struct that adds type-specific fields. + * + * It is presumed that the header object and all subsidiary data are stored + * in eoh_context, so that the object can be freed by deleting that context, + * or its storage lifespan can be altered by reparenting the context. + * (In principle the object could own additional resources, such as malloc'd + * storage, and use a memory context reset callback to free them upon reset or + * deletion of eoh_context.) + * + * We set up two TOAST pointers within the standard header, one read-write + * and one read-only.
