Do so by combining the various steps that are part of aggregate transition function invocation into one larger step. As some of the current steps are only necessary for some aggregates, have one variant of the aggregate transition step for each possible combination. To avoid further manual copies of code in the different transition step implementations, move most of the code into helper functions marked as "always inline". The benefit of this change is an increase in performance when aggregating lots of rows. This comes in part due to the reduced number of indirect jumps due to the reduced number of steps, and in part by reducing redundant setup code across steps. This mainly benefits interpreted execution, but the code generated by JIT is also improved a bit. As a nice side-effect it also ends up making the code a bit simpler. A small additional optimization is removing the need to set aggstate->curaggcontext before calling ExecAggInitGroup, choosing to instead passign curaggcontext as an argument. It was, in contrast to other aggregate related functions, only needed to fetch a memory context to copy the transition value into.

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/.
