Nothing inadvertent about it. The changelog entry is
2005-01-25 07:36 teodor
* contrib/tsearch2/: query.c, rank.c, ts_stat.c, tsvector.c,tsvector.h, tsvector_op.c: Change typedef struct {}
WordEntryPos;totypedef uint16 WordEntryPos according tohttp://www.pgsql.ru/db/mw/msg.html?mid=2035188Require re-fill
alltsvector fields and reindex tsvector indexes.
and if you check the referenced message, the change was made
specifically to deal with this portability issue. However, we cannot
backpatch the change without forcing initdb (or at least reindex of
tsearch2 indexes), even on architectures that are not currently broken.
So I'm afraid penguin is out of luck --- the 8.0 branch has to stay
the way it is.
