Eeek! Forget my idea of #define'ing TupleTableSlot as TUPLE for backwards
compatibility. I've just realised that GetAttributeByName() now takes
a TupleTableSlot *pointer* whereas it used to take a TUPLE structure (not a
pointer).
Personally whenever I make a code change like this I try to create a new
function with the altered parameters and then make a wrapper with the old name
and calling style for backwards compatibility :-)
It seems that the .../src/tutorial/func.* examples have been updated correctly
The create_function man page however has not been updated (it even refers to
libpq-fe.h still as well as to TUPLE) and the main printable manual needs to be
updated.
Best wishes,
Andrew
