Walk-through of implementing simple Postgres patch. From sources to CI.

In this video I'm doing "magic" binary search. This search fallbacks to linear search when the number of tuples is small. Typically this is done to reduce number of branch mispredictions, but it's rather toy feature here. It's taken only for example.
cd postgres
./configure --prefix=$PWD --enable-depend
make -j10 to /dev/null
make check

I really appreciate this video series. I've been looking for something like this for a very long time.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for doing this!

I haven't looked recently, but the planner was somewhat convoluted and not documented the way other parts of the code are. What might planner docs look like?

Nice video! Thanks. How did you setup VSCode to use navigation functionality inside the code? Do one need to set up additional language server for it?

kill -9 on a development environment may be OK, however it is not a good habit.

Can we see the <directory>/bin mentioned in --prefix after running ./configure ?
I think it gets created after make install

very interesting, thank you, just how is CI configured on your github account? I'd like to see a video on how to write new tests. How is the testing framework organized? How do I write a new test, after fixing a bug?

I cannot find Github Actions definitions in your repo. Are they hidden or external?
