Hello,
In the function heap_deform_tuple, there is a comment before caching
varlena attributes specifying that the offset will be valid for either an
aligned or unaligned value if there are no padding bytes. Could someone
please elaborate on this?
Also, why is it safe to call att_align_nominal if the attribute is not
varlena? Couldn't att_align_pointer be called for both cases? I am not able
to understand how att_align_nominal is faster.
Thanks,
Vignesh
