I would also add something like the following, to protect against corruption and deserialization errors of the catalog pg_node_tree fields, because right now the generated readfuncs.c code ignores field names, assumes ABI field order, and is generally quite sensitive to binary changes, which can cause corruption and/or errors during readback of those nodes: * If you update the contents of Nodes which are stored on disk as pg_node_tree, you also have to make sure that the read function for that node type is able to read both the old and the new serialized format. A reference to readfuncs.c/readfuncs.c, and/or the usage of pg_node_tree for (among others) views, index/default expressions, constraints, and partition bounds would maybe be useful as well. > None of this is a substitute for installing some kind of ABI-checking > infrastructure; Agreed.

No, actually that policy is "You cannot change the contents of Node structs at all if they could appear in stored views, rules, default expressions, etc". We don't do catversion bumps in back branches, which means that catalog contents have to be backwards as well as forwards compatible across minor releases. That's not really something that belongs under the heading of ABI breaks, I think. It's about "the on-disk representation of catalogs is frozen within a release series", which extends to more things than Nodes. Still, maybe a parenthetical remark wouldn't hurt. Perhaps: (Keep in mind also that Node structs can't be changed at all if they might appear in stored views, rules, etc.) regards, tom lane ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread
