Since the distances used in this algorithm are small integers (not more than the size of the U set, in fact), there is no good reason to use float arithmetic for them. Use short ints instead: they're smaller, faster, and require no special portability assumptions. Per testing by Greg Stark, which disclosed that the code got into an infinite loop on VAX for lack of IEEE-style float infinities. We don't really care all that much whether Postgres can run on a VAX anymore, but there seems sufficient reason to change this code anyway. In passing, make a few other small adjustments to make the code match usual Postgres coding style a bit better. |
