Remove partition_bound_cmp() and partition_bound_bsearch(), whose void * argument could be, depending on the situation, of any of three different types: PartitionBoundSpec *, PartitionRangeBound *, Datum *. Instead, introduce separate bound-searching functions for each situation: partition_list_bsearch, partition_range_bsearch, partition_range_datum_bsearch, and partition_hash_bsearch. This requires duplicating the code for binary search, but it makes the code much more type safe, involves fewer branches at runtime, and at least in my opinion, is much easier to understand. Along the way, add an option to partition_range_datum_bsearch allowing the number of keys to be specified, so that we can search for partitions based on a prefix of the full list of partition keys. This is important for pending work to improve partition pruning. Amit Langote, per a suggestion from me.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
