New version of contrib-intarray

Your patch has been added to the PostgreSQL unapplied patches list at:

http://candle.pha.pa.us/cgi-bin/pgpatches

I will try to apply it within the next 48 hours.

Hi,

New version of contrib-intarray for postgresql version 7.1 and above
is available from http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/

Changes:
1.Support for new interface of function calling (7.1 and above)
2.Optimization for gist__intbig_ops (special treating of degenerated
signatures)

This version is independent from our work on multi-key GiST, so
if 7.1.3 is planned please use it. Also, I'd like to see it in
current CVS to be in sync with development

Regards,
Oleg

I'm going to be making commits later today that clean up the "char*
that should be Datum" ugliness in GiST. I think the intarray part
of these changes overlap what you've done, so we're facing a bit of
a merge problem. You should have let me know that you had more stuff
in the pipeline.

This version is independent from our work on multi-key GiST, so
if 7.1.3 is planned please use it.

I do not think we should be committing such changes into the 7.1.*
branch. At this point only critical bug fixes are going to go into
that branch.

We have been waiting for applying our patch to current sources
to be in sync. We'll change sources of new version of contrib-intarray
taking into account your comments.

Our TODO:

1. Implementation some btree_ops using GiST
But we need a solution of problem with different types of
key and column compatible with multi-key GiST index

2. After resolving the problem 1. we need to remove workaround in
rtree GiSt code

3. regression test for built-in rtree and based on it regression test for
GiST.

4. documentation and Guide for programmers

We badly need a solution from item 1 !!! We don't know internals of postgres
enough to resolve this problem ourselves. Do you have any idea ?

agreed. we'll put new versions on our page.

Tom, as promised, I attached patch to current CVS contrib/intarray -
it's reimplemented to use function interface version 1 and special
treating of degenerated signatures.

Corresponding version for 7.1.X is available from
http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/
As we discussed previously we don't insist to include it into
7.1.X branch.

Regards,
Oleg
