FAQ

   The problem could be a number of things. Try testing your user-defined
   function in a stand alone test program first. Also, make sure you are

    5.2) What does the message: NOTICE:PortalHeapMemoryFree: 0x402251d0 not in
    alloc set! mean?
    
   You are pfree'ing something that was not palloc'ed. Beware of mixing
   malloc/free and palloc/pfree.
   
    5.3) How can I contribute some nifty new types and functions for
    PostgreSQL?
    
   Send your extensions to the pgsql-hackers mailing list, and they will
   eventually end up in the contrib/ subdirectory.
   
    5.4) How do I write a C function to return a tuple?
    
   This requires wizardry so extreme that the authors have never tried
   it, though in principle it can be done.
   
    5.5) I have changed a source file. Why does the recompile does not see the
    change?
    
   The Makefiles do not have the proper dependencies for include files.
   You have to do a make clean and then another make.
