Tom Lane 8c8ba6d11b Add comment on why pulling data from a "name" index column can't crash. ... It's been bothering me for several days that pretending that the cstring data stored in a btree name_ops column is really a "name" Datum could lead to reading past the end of memory. However, given the current memory layout used for index-only scans in the btree code, a crash is in fact not possible. Document that so we don't break it. I have not thought of any other solutions that aren't fairly ugly too, and most of them lose the functionality of index-only scans on name columns altogether, so this seems like the way to go.		14 years ago
