/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * fastpath.c * routines to handle function requests from the frontend * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2001, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * * IDENTIFICATION * $Header: /cvsroot/pgsql/src/backend/tcop/fastpath.c,v 1.49 2001/06/01 15:45:42 tgl Exp $ * * NOTES * This cruft is the server side of PQfn. * * - jolly 07/11/95: * * no longer rely on return sizes provided by the frontend. Always * use the true lengths for the catalogs. Assume that the frontend * has allocated enough space to handle the result value returned. * * trust that the user knows what he is doing with the args. If the * sys catalog says it is a varlena, assume that the user is only sending * down VARDATA and that the argsize is the VARSIZE. If the arg is * fixed len, assume that the argsize given by the user is correct. * * if the function returns by value, then only send 4 bytes value * back to the frontend. If the return returns by reference, * send down only the data portion and set the return size appropriately. * * OLD COMMENTS FOLLOW * * The VAR_LENGTH_{ARGS,RESULT} stuff is limited to MAX_STRING_LENGTH * (see src/backend/tmp/fastpath.h) for no obvious reason. Since its * primary use (for us) is for Inversion path names, it should probably * be increased to 256 (MAXPATHLEN for Inversion, hidden in pg_type * as well as utils/adt/filename.c). * * Quoth PMA on 08/15/93: * * This code has been almost completely rewritten with an eye to * keeping it as compatible as possible with the previous (broken) * implementation. * * The previous implementation would assume (1) that any value of * length <= 4 bytes was passed-by-value, and that any other value * was a struct varlena (by-reference). There was NO way to pass a * fixed-length by-reference argument (like name) or a struct * varlena of size <= 4 bytes. * * The new implementation checks the catalogs to determine whether * a value is by-value (type "0" is null-delimited character string, * as it is for, e.g., the parser). The only other item obtained * from the catalogs is whether or not the value should be placed in * a struct varlena or not. Otherwise, the size given by the * frontend is assumed to be correct (probably a bad decision, but * we do strange things in the name of compatibility). * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #include "postgres.h" #include "access/xact.h" #include "catalog/pg_proc.h" #include "libpq/libpq.h" #include "libpq/pqformat.h" #include "tcop/fastpath.h" #include "utils/lsyscache.h" #include "utils/syscache.h" /* ---------------- * SendFunctionResult * ---------------- */ static void SendFunctionResult(Datum retval,/* actual return value */ bool retbyval, int retlen) /* the length according to the catalogs */ { StringInfoData buf; pq_beginmessage(&buf); pq_sendbyte(&buf, 'V'); if (retlen != 0) { pq_sendbyte(&buf, 'G'); if (retbyval) { /* by-value */ pq_sendint(&buf, retlen, 4); pq_sendint(&buf, DatumGetInt32(retval), retlen); } else { /* by-reference ... */ if (retlen < 0) { /* ... varlena */ struct varlena *v = (struct varlena *) DatumGetPointer(retval); pq_sendint(&buf, VARSIZE(v) - VARHDRSZ, VARHDRSZ); pq_sendbytes(&buf, VARDATA(v), VARSIZE(v) - VARHDRSZ); } else { /* ... fixed */ pq_sendint(&buf, retlen, 4); pq_sendbytes(&buf, DatumGetPointer(retval), retlen); } } } pq_sendbyte(&buf, '0'); pq_endmessage(&buf); } /* * Formerly, this code attempted to cache the function and type info * looked up by fetch_fp_info, but only for the duration of a single * transaction command (since in theory the info could change between * commands).
