Hi,

I want to know why we do not use the following style?

+static inline Datum
+heap_getattr(HeapTuple tup, int attnum, TupleDesc tupleDesc, bool *isnull)
+{
+    if (attnum > 0)
+    {
+        if (attnum > (int) HeapTupleHeaderGetNatts(tup->t_data))
+            return getmissingattr(tupleDesc, attnum, isnull);
+        else
+            return fastgetattr(tup, attnum, tupleDesc, isnull);
+    }
+
+    return heap_getsysattr(tup, attnum, tupleDesc, isnull);
+}
