Hi
I'm running postgresql 7.4.1 and ecpg 3.1.0.
When defining a symbol on the command line with ecpg -D SYMBOL the ecpg preprocessor will replace that symbol with empty space in 'C' program space rather than limiting it to 'SQL' program space.
For example:
EXEC SQL IFDEF SYMBOL; EXEC SQL ... EXEC SQL ENDIF;
#ifdef SYMBOL ... #endif
compiling with ecpg -D SYMBOL results in
EXEC SQL IFDEF SYMBOL; EXEC SQL ... EXEC SQL ENDIF;
#ifdef ... #endif
It shouldn't touch anything outside EXEC SQL.
Also, if you try to fool ecpg by compiling with ecpg -D SYMBOL=SYMBOL it will sit in an infinite loop gobbling as much virtual memory as it sees fit.
