Tom Lane	447770404c	Rearrange CustomScan API. Make it work more like FDW plans do: instead of assuming that there are expressions in a CustomScan plan node that the core code doesn't know about, insist that all subexpressions that need planner attention be in a "custom_exprs" list in the Plan representation. (Of course, the custom plugin can break the list apart again at executor initialization.) This lets us revert the parts of the patch that exposed setrefs.c and subselect.c processing to the outside world. Also revert the GetSpecialCustomVar stuff in ruleutils.c; that concept may work in future, but it's far from fully baked right now.	11 years ago
Tom Lane	a34fa8ee7c	Initial code review for CustomScan patch. Get rid of the pernicious entanglement between planner and executor headers introduced by commit `0b03e5951b`. Also, rearrange the CustomFoo struct/typedef definitions so that all the typedef names are seen as used by the compiler. Without this pgindent will mess things up a bit, which is not so important perhaps, but it also removes a bizarre discrepancy between the declaration arrangement used for CustomExecMethods and that used for CustomScanMethods and CustomPathMethods. Clean up the commentary around ExecSupportsMarkRestore to reflect the rather large change in its API. Const-ify register_custom_path_provider's argument. This necessitates casting away const in the function, but that seems better than forcing callers of the function to do so (or else not const-ify their method pointer structs, which was sort of the whole point). De-export fix_expr_common. I don't like the exporting of fix_scan_expr or replace_nestloop_params either, but this one surely has got little excuse.	11 years ago

Rearrange CustomScan API.

Make it work more like FDW plans do: instead of assuming that there are
expressions in a CustomScan plan node that the core code doesn't know
about, insist that all subexpressions that need planner attention be in
a "custom_exprs" list in the Plan representation.  (Of course, the
custom plugin can break the list apart again at executor initialization.)
This lets us revert the parts of the patch that exposed setrefs.c and
subselect.c processing to the outside world.

Also revert the GetSpecialCustomVar stuff in ruleutils.c; that concept
may work in future, but it's far from fully baked right now.

Initial code review for CustomScan patch.

Get rid of the pernicious entanglement between planner and executor headers
introduced by commit 0b03e5951b.

Also, rearrange the CustomFoo struct/typedef definitions so that all the
typedef names are seen as used by the compiler.  Without this pgindent
will mess things up a bit, which is not so important perhaps, but it also
removes a bizarre discrepancy between the declaration arrangement used for
CustomExecMethods and that used for CustomScanMethods and
CustomPathMethods.

Clean up the commentary around ExecSupportsMarkRestore to reflect the
rather large change in its API.

Const-ify register_custom_path_provider's argument.  This necessitates
casting away const in the function, but that seems better than forcing
callers of the function to do so (or else not const-ify their method
pointer structs, which was sort of the whole point).

De-export fix_expr_common.  I don't like the exporting of fix_scan_expr
or replace_nestloop_params either, but this one surely has got little
excuse.
