29 hoursSeparate out bytea sort support from varlena.cJohn Naylor
In the wake of commit b45242fd3, bytea_sortsupport() still called out to varstr_sortsupport(). Treating bytea as a kind of text/varchar required varstr_sortsupport() to allow for the possibility of NUL bytes, but only for C collation. This was confusing. For better separation of concerns, create an independent sortsupport implementation in bytea.c. The heuristics for bytea_abbrev_abort() remain the same as for varstr_abbrev_abort(). It's possible that the bytea case warrants different treatment, but that is left for future investigation. In passing, adjust some strange looking comparisons in varstr_abbrev_abort().

2025-07-18Speed up byteain by not parsing traditional-style input twice.Tom Lane
Instead of laboriously computing the exact output length, use strlen to get an upper bound cheaply. (This is still O(N) of course, but the constant factor is a lot less.) This will typically result in overallocating the output datum, but that's of little concern since it's a short-lived allocation in just about all use-cases. A simple microbenchmark showed about 40% speedup for long input strings. While here, make some cosmetic cleanups and add a test case that covers the double-backslash code path in byteain and byteaout.

2025-07-02Move code for the bytea data type from varlena.c to new bytea.cMichael Paquier
This commit moves all the routines related to the bytea data type into its own new file, called bytea.c, clearing some of the bloat in varlena.c. This includes the routines for: - Input, output, receive and send - Comparison - Casts to integer types - bytea-specific functions The internals of the routines moved here are unchanged, with one exception. This comes with a twist in bytea_string_agg_transfn(), where the call to makeStringAggState() is replaced by the internals of this routine, still located in varlena.c. This simplifies the move to the new file by not having to expose makeStringAggState().
