Hi:
For example, we added a new field in a node in primnodes.h
struct FuncExpr
{
+ int newf;
};
then we modified the copy/read/out functions for this node. In _readFuncExpr,
we probably add something like
static FuncExpr
_readFuncExpr(..)
{
..
+ READ_INT_FILED(newf);
};
Then we will get a compatible issue if we create a view with the node in
the older version and access the view with the new binary. I think we can
have bypass this issue easily with something like
READ_INT_FIELD_UNMUST(newf, defaultvalue);
However I didn't see any code like this in our code base. does it doesn't
work or is it something not worth doing?
