- typenametypeid.patch (text/x-patch) patch
Here is a first patch to slightly refactor the type and typmod lookups with the aim of making it easier to possibly changing the nature or representation of typmods in the future and making it easier to merge the collation patch. I split the typenameTypeId function into two. Most call sites only care about the type OID; a second function typenameTypeIdAndMod returns type ID and typmod. So it is more explicit about which places care about what. It also cuts down on the unholy interface design of returning half the return value via function result and the other half via an argument pointer.
