Re: extend pgbench expressions with functions

Hello Robert.

Here is a v34 b & c.

Back to the eighties!

I've put assertions instead of exit in some places.

I think that it should, because the only sane option for the user is to
fix the script and relaunch the bench: counting errors has no added value
for the user.

The attached version does some error handling instead, too bad.

I could not find a place where there where such potential issue. If the
value is zero, it cannot overflow when cast to int. If it is not zero but
it overflows, then it is an overflow, so it should overflow. Maybe I
misunderstood your point.
