Re: Improve eviction algorithm in ReorderBuffer

Hi, Here are some review comments for v7-0001

1.
/*
* binaryheap_free
*
* Releases memory used by the given binaryheap.
*/
void
binaryheap_free(binaryheap *heap)
{
pfree(heap);
}

Shouldn't the above function (not modified by the patch) also firstly
free the memory allocated for the heap->bh_nodes?

~~~

2.
+/*
+ * Make sure there is enough space for nodes.
+ */
+static void
+bh_enlarge_node_array(binaryheap *heap)
+{
+ heap->bh_space *= 2;
+ heap->bh_nodes = repalloc(heap->bh_nodes,
+ sizeof(bh_node_type) * heap->bh_space);
+}

Strictly speaking, this function doesn't really "Make sure" of
anything because the caller does the check whether we need more space.
All that happens here is allocating more space. Maybe this function
comment should say something like "Double the space allocated for
nodes."
