immutable functions and enumerate type casts in indexes

[Edoardo Panfili <edoardo@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a problem with enumerated types in functions parameters.

my enumerated type is (this is a subset)
CREATE TYPE hibridation AS ENUM('none','genus','specie');

function declaration
CREATE FUNCTION ename(text,boolean,text,text RETURNS text AS 
'funzioniGDB.so' LANGUAGE C IMMUTABLE;

index creation (the type of ibrido is hibridation)
CREATE INDEX i_specie_nome_specie ON specie 
(esterna_nome(ibrido::text,proParte,genere,specie));

the result is
ERROR:  functions in index expression must be marked IMMUTABLE

Searching on google I found some explanation: the problem arises with 
"non immutable" typea as "data" but I can't figure the problem (or 
better, the solution) with enumerate types.

What can I do?

thank you
Edoardo
