I'm betting that's coming from scalargtsel, which doesn't know anything
about your type, but you've nominated it to be the selectivity function
for ">" anyway.

        /*
         * Can't get here unless someone tries to use scalarltsel/scalargtsel on
         * an operator with one numeric and one non-numeric operand.
         */

Yes, I found it in the code, but I followed the example from the postgres documentation that uses this function.

And why does it work sometimes? Why not other times?

Here is a very simple case and weird behavior. I select * from a table and returns 4 entries.

But when I run with a filter the error raises and crazy values are printed from the params.

Here is my funcitons where I compare the values:

typedef uint32_t TmUInt32;

static int
tmuint32_int32_abs_cmp_internal(TmUInt32 a, int32_t b)
{
int ret;
elog(NOTICE, "funcao:%s linha:%d\n", _FUNCTION_, _LINE_);
if (a < b) ret = -1;
else if (a > b) ret = 1;
else ret = 0;
elog(NOTICE, "funcao:%s linha:%d, ret: %d a: %u\n", _FUNCTION_, _LINE_, ret, a);
return ret;
}

PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(tmuint32_int32_abs_gt);

Datum
tmuint32_int32_abs_gt(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
TmUInt32 *param1;
int32_t param2;
elog(NOTICE, "funcao:%s linha:%d\n", _FUNCTION_, _LINE_);

if(PG_ARGISNULL(0) || PG_ARGISNULL(1)) PG_RETURN_NULL();

param1 = (TmUInt32 *) PG_GETARG_POINTER(0);
param2 = DatumGetInt32(PG_GETARG_DATUM(1));

elog(NOTICE, "funcao:%s linha:%d param1: %u, param2: %d\n", _FUNCTION_, _LINE_, *param1, param2);
PG_RETURN_BOOL(tmuint32_int32_abs_cmp_internal(*param1, param2) > 0);
}

And here is the simple test.

I found that the problem is in the highlithed line. I'm getting the wrong value from param1. But why this behavior?
