Sorry, I modified the parser code and forgot abt it. Now there is no
problem in creating the function. But there is another problem. I
create a function to accept record type parameter. But when I call it
on a specific composite type, error is reported. The followings are
what I have done:

backend> create function complete(record) returns int4 as
'$libdir/qualityudf' language C
QUERY: create function complete(record) returns int4 as
'$libdir/qualityudf' language C

backend> select *, complete(Person) from Person
QUERY: select *, complete(Person) from Person

ERROR: Function complete(person) does not exist
Unable to identify a function that satisfies the given argument types
You may need to add explicit typecasts
