I updated the coverage script to use --with-lz4; results are updated.
While eyeballing the results I noticed this bit in
lz4_decompress_datum_slice():
+ /* slice decompression not supported prior to 1.8.3 */
+ if (LZ4_versionNumber() < 10803)
+ return lz4_decompress_datum(value);
which I read as returning the complete decompressed datum if slice
decompression is not supported. I thought that was a bug, but looking
at the caller I realize that this isn't really a problem, since it's
detoast_attr_slice's responsibility to slice the result further -- no
bug, it's just wasteful. I suggest to add comments to this effect,
perhaps as the attached (feel free to reword, I think mine is awkward.)
