Re: A bug when use get_bit() function for a long bytea string

I want to resent the mail, because last one is in wrong format and hardly to read.

In addition, I think 'Size' or 'size_t' is rely on platform, they may can't work on 32bit
system. So I choose 'int64' after ashutosh's review.

>>I think we need a similar change in byteaGetBit() and byteaSetBit() as well.
Sorry, I think it's my mistake, it is the two functions above should be changed.

Well, I change all of them this time, because Tom Lane supports on next mail.

Done

It is my mistake as describe above, it should not be 'bitgetbit()/bitsetbit()' to be changed.

I intend to test size large then 1G, and now I think you give a better idea and followed.
