PostgreSQL在何处处理 sql查询之十九

再回过头来看 

/*
 * open a file in an arbitrary directory
 *
 * NB: if the passed pathname is relative (which it usually is),
 * it will be interpreted relative to the process' working directory
 * (which should always be $PGDATA when this code is running).
 */
File
PathNameOpenFile(FileName fileName, int fileFlags, int fileMode)
{
    char       *fnamecopy;
    File        file;
    Vfd           *vfdP;

    DO_DB(elog(LOG, "PathNameOpenFile: %s %x %o",
               fileName, fileFlags, fileMode));
    /*
     * We need a malloc'd copy of the file name; fail cleanly if no room.
     */
    fnamecopy = strdup(fileName);
    if (fnamecopy == NULL)
        ereport(ERROR,
                (errcode(ERRCODE_OUT_OF_MEMORY),
                 errmsg("out of memory")));

    file = AllocateVfd();
    vfdP = &VfdCache[file];

    while (nfile + numAllocatedDescs >= max_safe_fds)
    {
        if (!ReleaseLruFile())
            break;
    }

    vfdP->fd = BasicOpenFile(fileName, fileFlags, fileMode);

    if (vfdP->fd < 0)
    {
        FreeVfd(file);
        free(fnamecopy);
        return -1;
    }
    ++nfile;
    DO_DB(elog(LOG, "PathNameOpenFile: success %d",
               vfdP->fd));

    Insert(file);
    /**
    fprintf(stderr,"(O_CREAT) is:%x \n",O_CREAT);
    fprintf(stderr,"(O_TRUNC) is:%x \n",O_TRUNC);
    fprintf(stderr,"(O_EXCL) is:%x \n",O_EXCL);
    fprintf(stderr,"(O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_EXCL) is: %x\n", (O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_EXCL));
    fprintf(stderr,"~(O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_EXCL) is: %x\n", ~(O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_EXCL));
    fprintf(stderr,"fileFlags is %x\n", fileFlags);
    fprintf(stderr,"fileFlags & ~(O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_EXCL) is %x\n", fileFlags & ~(O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_EXCL));
    */

    vfdP->fileName = fnamecopy;
    /* Saved flags are adjusted to be OK for re-opening file */
    vfdP->fileFlags = fileFlags & ~(O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_EXCL);
    vfdP->fileMode = fileMode;
    vfdP->seekPos = 0;
    vfdP->fileSize = 0;
    vfdP->fdstate = 0x0;
    vfdP->resowner = NULL;

    //fprintf(stderr,"file is: %d by proces %d \n\n",file,getpid());

    return file;
}

这两句,其实是干了共同的一件事:

file = AllocateVfd();
vfdP = &VfdCache[file];

AllocateVfd,是找到一个空闲的VFD描述符,其实就是定位了VFDCache内存结构数组的下标。
vfdP = &VfdCache[file],就是用下标来获得第 file+1个内存结构(VFD)的指针。

整个 PathNameOpenFile的做法也是挺怪异的,它处理的是 ,拿到一个空闲的VFD描述符。
然后对此VFD结构体进行设置,最后return的,实际是一个VfdCache内存结构数组的下标。

在PostgreSQL中,
在一个服务客户的进程的范围内(例如,启动psql客户端而导致后台建立的一个进程),
第一次访问某一个表的时候,会访问 
PathNameOpenFile。第二次再访问同一表的时候,不会再次访问此PathNameOpenFile函数了(严格来说,应当是遵循某种LRU算法)。
