Re: Source Code Help Needed

Thanks Tom, that solved it...I added the new variables one at a time
and did do a "make clean" on the first occasion but I must have
forgotten to do it the second time...

I have another question-
The new variables that I've added to Plan and Path i.e.
hutz_tbl_benefit and hutz_idx_benefit are being assigned values inside
cost_seqscan() and cost_index() in costsize.c and this is done
alongside startup_cost and total_cost.

But, when I read the value of hutz_tbl_benefit and hutz_idx_benefit
inside pg_plan_query() or later at the execution stage inside
ExecProcNode(), the value is absent, but startup_cost and total_cost
retain their values.

So, I suppose that during the query planning and optimization stage,
the value of the original variables in the plan are somehow copied to
the plan which is finally returned inside pg_plan_query().

Could somebody direct me to the appropriate code/function(s) which
does this copying so that I can add hutz_tbl_benefit and
hutz_idx_benefit to that as well.

Thanks in anticipation,
Regards,
