 *
 * typcache.c
 *	  POSTGRES type cache code
 *
 * The type cache exists to speed lookup of certain information about data
 * types that is not directly available from a type's pg_type row.  For
 * example, we use a type's default btree opclass, or the default hash
 * opclass if no btree opclass exists, to determine which operators should
 * be used for grouping and sorting the type (GROUP BY, ORDER BY ASC/DESC).
 *
 * Several seemingly-odd choices have been made to support use of the type
 * cache by the generic array comparison routines array_eq() and array_cmp().
 * Because those routines are used as index support operations, they cannot
 * leak memory.  To allow them to execute efficiently, all information that
 * either of them would like to re-use across calls is made available in the
 * type cache.
 *
 * Once created, a type cache entry lives as long as the backend does, so
 * there is no need for a call to release a cache entry.  (For present uses,
 * it would be okay to flush type cache entries at the ends of transactions,
 * if we needed to reclaim space.)
 *
 * There is presently no provision for clearing out a cache entry if the
 * stored data becomes obsolete.  (The code will work if a type acquires
 * opclasses it didn't have before while a backend runs --- but not if the
 * definition of an existing opclass is altered.)  However, the relcache
 * doesn't cope with opclasses changing under it, either, so this seems
 * a low-priority problem.
 *
 * We do support clearing the tuple descriptor part of a rowtype's cache
 * entry, since that may need to change as a consequence of ALTER TABLE.
