Commit a26116c6cbf4117e8efaa7cfc5bacc887f01517f changed the behaviour
for format_type.
Prior to commit, format_type() used to set typemod_given to false for
typemode = NULL.
format_type()
..
if (PG_ARGISNULL(1))
result = format_type_internal(type_oid, -1, false, true, false);
else
{
typemod = PG_GETARG_INT32(1);
result = format_type_internal(type_oid, typemod, true, true, false);
}
..
With the commit format_type() always set the FORMAT_TYPE_TYPEMOD_GIVEN
flag even when typemode is NULL (-1).
Below are the difference it's making to the query output:
Before commit:
postgres(at)95320=#select format_type('bpchar'::regtype, null);
format_type
-------------
character
(1 row)
postgres(at)95320=#select format_type('bit'::regtype, null);
format_type
-------------
bit
(1 row)
After commit:
postgres(at)90169=#select format_type('bpchar'::regtype, null);
format_type
-------------
bpchar
(1 row)
postgres(at)90169=#select format_type('bit'::regtype, null);
format_type
-------------
"bit"
(1 row)
Is this expected behaviour? attaching patch to get back the older
behaviour.
Thanks,
