Subject: pgsql: Make IndexScanInstrumentation a pointer in executor scan nodes.
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 17:20:51 +0000
Message-ID: <E1w4MTq-000xr2-2i@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Make IndexScanInstrumentation a pointer in executor scan nodes.
Change the IndexScanInstrumentation fields in IndexScanState,
IndexOnlyScanState, and BitmapIndexScanState from inline structs to
pointers. This avoids additional space overhead whenever new fields are
added to IndexScanInstrumentation in the future, at least in the common
case where the instrumentation isn't used (i.e. when the executor node
isn't being run through an EXPLAIN ANALYZE).
Preparation for an upcoming patch series that will add index
prefetching. The new slot-based interface that will enable index
prefetching necessitates that we add at least one more field to
IndexScanInstrumentation (to count heap fetches during index-only
scans).
