Обсуждение: Use correct macro for accessing offset numbers.
Hi hackers! While working on pageinspect support for GIN and SpGiST (welcome to review them [0] & [1]), I spotted $subi. PFA trivial patch that uses UInt16GetDatum for OffsetNumber rather than Int16GetDatum [0]https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CALdSSPiN13n7feQcY0WCmq8jzxjwqhNrt1E%3Dg%3Dg6aZANyE_OoQ%40mail.gmail.com [1] https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CALdSSPhbAQbFtjK0nT8_G5GsXmsSEVx8J735Ga%2BZxLp9osHcRA%40mail.gmail.com -- Best regards, Kirill Reshke

LGTM, should we check another places of offset number conversations to Datum as part of this thread? -- Best regards, Roman Khapov

It's true that we could be more consistent for all these based on their base type, some of them, particularly in the GIN code now, caring about using the correct macro. It may be a good occasion to double-check the whole tree for similar holes based on unsigned types. -- Michael

Specifically, in gin_page_opaque_info, we use Int32GetDatum for maxoff: values[1] = Int32GetDatum(opaq->maxoff); Since maxoff is of type OffsetNumber (uint16), this seems to be the exact same pattern Kirill is addressing in other partsof the GIN code. Although it is widened to int32 here, for the sake of consistency, it should probably be using a 16-bitor unsigned macro. Similarly, in gin_metapage_info, tailFreeSize (which is defined as uint32 in GinMetaPageData) is also converted using Int32GetDatum: values[2] = Int32GetDatum(metadata->tailFreeSize); It might be better to include these cleanups in the next version of the patch to ensure all pageinspect GIN functions followthe same standard.

Hi,
I’ve also seen such cases in the kernel code, and I’m wondering if this should be added to the patch here?

Thank you, I have included your findings in v3.
