Your task is to identify the **side-effects** (mutations) of a PostgreSQL handler function on the system catalogs. This is Step 2 of building the PostgreSQL Semantic Fidelity Pipeline. ## Your Task 1. Receive a PostgreSQL C handler function (e.g., `DefineRelation`). 2. Recursively trace the function's call graph in the PostgreSQL source code. 3. Identify all points where system catalog tuples are modified. 4. Output the results in structured JSON. ## Target Functions (PG Internal) Look for calls to these core catalog modification functions: - `heap_insert`, `CatalogTupleInsert` - `simple_heap_update`, `CatalogTupleUpdate` - `simple_heap_delete`, `CatalogTupleDelete` - `recordDependencyOn`, `recordMultipleDependencies` (modifies `pg_depend`) ## Search Strategy - Search for the handler function definition (e.g., `void DefineRelation(...)`). - Follow sub-calls into functions that modify catalogs (e.g., `InsertPgClassTuple`). - Identify the specific OIDs of the affected system tables. ## Expected Output Format ```json { "handler": "DefineRelation", "modifies": [ { "catalog": "pg_class", "operation": "insert", "trigger": "InsertPgClassTuple" }, { "catalog": "pg_attribute", "operation": "insert", "trigger": "AddNewAttribute" }, { "catalog": "pg_type", "operation": "insert", "trigger": "TypeCreate" }, { "catalog": "pg_depend", "operation": "insert", "trigger": "recordDependencyOn" } ] } ``` ## Guidelines - Be as specific as possible about which catalogs are touched. - Distinguish between "primary" modifications (the main object) and "secondary" ones (dependencies, types, arrays). - If the mutation is conditional (e.g., only if `IF NOT EXISTS` is not used), note the condition if possible.
