Thanks.

I just updated my performance test script (attached) by increasing the
number of rows tested by an order of magnitude. So now it creates
1,000,000 rows, queries them, adds indexes, and then queries them
again. Unfortunately, CITEXT seems to have a memory leak somewhere,
because when I index the CITEXT column, it fails with "ERROR: out of
memory". So obviously something's not getting cleaned up. Here's the
btree indexing function:

Datum
citext_cmp(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
text *left = PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP(0);
text *right = PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP(1);
int32 result;

result = citextcmp(left, right);

PG_FREE_IF_COPY(left, 0);
PG_FREE_IF_COPY(right, 1);

PG_RETURN_INT32(result);
}

And here's citextcmp():

citextcmp (text *left, text *right)
{
char *lcstr, *rcstr;
int result;

lcstr = str_tolower(VARDATA_ANY(left), VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR(left));
rcstr = str_tolower(VARDATA_ANY(right), VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR(right));

result = varstr_cmp(
lcstr,
VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR(left),
rcstr,
VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR(right)
);

pfree(lcstr);
pfree(rcstr);
return result;
}

Can anyone see where I'm failing to free up memory? Might it be in
some other function?

Thanks!
