Greetings,
I'm having a problem using heap_form_tuple. I'm trying to form a HeapTuple to use it later with simple_heap_insert. My
codelooks like this:
------------------
Datum *values;
bool *nulls;
int natts;
TupleDesc tupDesc;
HeapTuple tuple;
...
tupDesc = RelationGetDescr(...my previously opened relation...);
natts = tupDesc->natts;
values = (Datum *)palloc(natts*sizeof(Datum *));
nulls = (bool *)palloc(natts*sizeof(bool *));
memset(nulls, false, natts * sizeof(nulls));
values[0] = ...GetDatum(...my datum...);
...
values[natts-1] = ...GetDatum(...my datum...);
...
tuple = heap_form_tuple(tupDesc, values, nulls);
------------------
When I come to last line, I get these errors (I'm using valgrind):
==25850== Source and destination overlap in memcpy(0x8BCB070, 0x4CF2480, 496753820)

If I work on tables with only 1 attribute, I use normal variables (Datum values, bool nulls) instead of arrays, and
usingheap_form_tuple(TupleDesc td, &values, &nulls) works flawlessly. What am i missing?
Thanks in advance for help,
