In a 64-bit build there's an awful lot of useless pad space in ParsedWords. Since we may allocate large arrays of these, it's worth some effort to reduce their size. Here we reduce the alen field from uint32 to uint16, and then re-order the fields to avoid unnecessary padding. alen is only used to remember the allocated size of the apos[] array, which is not allowed to exceed MAXNUMPOS (256) elements, so uint16 is plenty of space for it. That gets us from 40 bytes to 24 on 64-bit builds, and from 20 bytes to 16 on 32-bit builds. Per discussion of bug #18080. Unfortunately this is an ABI break so we can't back-patch.

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/.
