Re: To know what a macro does

Well, I do a query like this: "SELECT * FROM historial WHERE
id_grupo=grupo_hist ORDER BY grmemb LIMIT 10;", then in transformSortClause
I know it this way:

/*
* transformSortClause -
* transform an ORDER BY clause
*
* ORDER BY items will be added to the targetlist (as resjunk columns)
* if not already present, so the targetlist must be passed by reference.
*/
List *
transformSortClause(ParseState *pstate,
List *orderlist,
List **targetlist,
bool resolveUnknown)
{
List *sortlist = NIL;
ListCell *olitem;

foreach(olitem, orderlist)
{
SortBy *sortby = lfirst(olitem);
TargetEntry *tle;
//To find out if it is the membership degree
char *namegrmemb = strVal(linitial(((ColumnRef *)
sortby->node)->fields));

*if (strcmp(namegrmemb, "grmemb")==0)
* tle = createTargetFuzzyEntry(targetlist);
else
tle = findTargetlistEntry(pstate, sortby->node,
targetlist, ORDER_CLAUSE);

sortlist = addTargetToSortList(pstate, tle,
sortlist, *targetlist,
sortby->sortby_dir,
sortby->sortby_nulls,
sortby->useOp,
resolveUnknown);

}

return sortlist;
}

|***************************************************************************************************************************|

Then I created a function that includes a new target entry in the
targetlist:

//To sort the membership degree
TargetEntry *
createTargetFuzzyEntry(List **targetlist){

/*I just have to create the fuzzy target entry right here */
TargetEntry *tfp = makeNode(TargetEntry);
Const *cn = makeNode(Const);
float val = 1.0;
TargetEntry *tlast = list_nth(*targetlist, list_length(*targetlist)-1);

cn = makeConst(700, -1, 4, (Float4GetDatum(val)), false, true);
tfp->resorigtbl=tlast->resorigtbl;
tfp->expr = (Expr *) cn;
tfp->resno = list_length(*targetlist) + 1;
tfp->resname = "grmemb";
tfp->resorigcol = list_length(*targetlist) + 1;
tfp->ressortgroupref = 0;
tfp->resjunk = false;

*targetlist = lappend(*targetlist, tfp);

return tfp;
}

|*************************************************************************************************************************|

Later in planner.c on grouping_planner function I do something like this:

/*
* If we were not able to make the plan come out in the right order, add
* an explicit sort step.
*/
if (parse->sortClause)
{
if (!pathkeys_contained_in(sort_pathkeys, current_pathkeys) ||
parse->hasGrMemb)
{
result_plan = (Plan *) make_sort_from_pathkeys(root,
result_plan,
sort_pathkeys,
limit_tuples);
current_pathkeys = sort_pathkeys;
}
}
