Yes for NextCopyFromRawFields() and CopyReadLineText().
No for CopyToTextLikeSendEndOfRow().

NextCopyFromRawFields() and CopyReadLineText() have "bool
is_csv". So I think that we should use
pg_attribute_always_inline (or inline) like
CopyToTextLikeOneRow() and CopyFromTextLikeOneRow(). I think
that it's not out of scope of this patch because it's a part
of CopyToTextLikeOneRow() and CopyFromTextLikeOneRow()
optimization.

Note: The optimization is based on "bool is_csv" parameter
and constant "true"/"false" argument function call. If we
can inline this function call, all "if (is_csv)" checks in
the function are removed.

pg_attribute_always_inline (or inline) for
CopyToTextLikeSendEndOfRow() is out of scope of this
patch. You're right.

I think that inlining CopyToTextLikeSendEndOfRow() is better
because it's called per row. But it's not related to the
optimization.

Should I create a new patch set without
pg_attribute_always_inline/inline for
CopyToTextLikeSendEndOfRow()? Or could you remove it when
you push?

Thanks,
