Subject: pgsql: Adjust some incorrect *GetDatum() macros
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 04:12:07 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wIIkw-003PqX-2g@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Adjust some incorrect *GetDatum() macros

This reverts portions of commit 6dcfac9696cb, which is wrong in trying
to use a *GetDatum() that matches with the C types of the values read.
*GetDatum() should match with the output argument types of the SQL
functions.

The portions of 6dcfac9696cb that are right regarding this rule are:
- gistget.c, where the GiST support functions use DatumGetUInt16() to
retrieve the strategy number.
- The BRIN code for strategynum, used in syscache lookups.

The adjustments done in this commit are for pageinspect, pg_buffercache
and pg_lock_status().

While double-checking the whole state of the tree regarding non-matching
pairs of DatumGet*() and *GetDatum(), I have found much more code paths
that are incorrect, unrelated to 6dcfac9696cb.  These may be adjusted in
the future, in a different patch (perhaps not for v19, as we are already
past feature freeze).
