Re: Return setof values from C-function

[Yuriy Rusinov <yrusinov@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have added code

        Oid * oids = (Oid *)palloc (2*sizeof (Oid));

        oids[0] = INT8OID;

        oids[1] = FLOAT8OID;

        if (get_call_result_type(fcinfo, oids, &tupdescRes) != TYPEFUNC_COMPOSITE)

            ereport(ERROR,

                    (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),

                     errmsg("function returning record called in context "

                            "that cannot accept type record")));

and try to obtain tupdescRes  from get_call_result_type function, before this I do 

create type hist_point as (inum bigint, bin float8);

 and

create or replace function histogram (varchar, float8, float8, int4) returns setof hist_point

    as '$libdir/libfloader.so', 'histogram' language 'c' strict security definer;

but the result does not obtained.

Where is 'tupdesc' coming from.  Don't you need to copy it from the
function context?
