/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * windowapi.h
 *    API for window functions to extract data from their window
 *
 * A window function does not receive its arguments in the normal way
 * (and therefore the concept of strictness is irrelevant).  Instead it
 * receives a "WindowObject", which it can fetch with PG_WINDOW_OBJECT()
 * (note V1 calling convention must be used).  Correct call context can
 * be tested with WindowObjectIsValid().  Although argument values are
 * not passed, the call is correctly set up so that PG_NARGS() can be
 * used and argument type information can be obtained with
 * get_fn_expr_argtype(), get_fn_expr_arg_stable(), etc.
 *
 * Operations on the WindowObject allow the window function to find out
 * the current row number, total number of rows in the partition, etc
 * and to evaluate its argument expression(s) at various rows in the
 * window partition.  See the header comments for each WindowObject API
 * function in nodeWindowAgg.c for details.
