The new jsonfuncs.c has some confusing typedef scheme. For example, it
has a bunch of definitions like this:
typedef struct getState
{
...
} getState, *GetState;
So GetState is a pointer to getState. I have never seen that kind of
convention before.
This then leads to code like
GetState state;
state = palloc0(sizeof(getState));
which has useless mental overhead.
But the fact that GetState is really a pointer isn't hidden at all,
because state is then derefenced with -> or cast from or to void*. So
whatever abstraction might have been intended isn't there at all. And
all of this is an intra-file interface anyway.
And to make this even more confusing, other types such as ColumnIOData
and JsonLexContext are not pointers but structs directly.
I think a more typical PostgreSQL code convention is to use capitalized
camelcase for structs, and use explicit pointers for pointers. I have
attached a patch that cleans this up, in my opinion.
