I'm inclined to think "too late". Even if we back-patched to v15
and earlier now, your extension would probably still want to be
compilable against earlier minor releases, so the back-patch
would not help you a lot. Christoph's workaround of
"#define register" is probably the best answer for old PG versions,
or you can compile with "-Wno-register".
For my purposes, I only need to support the latest minor releases of PG
versions, so a backpatch would be useful come December (?). I do
understand the "too late" argument though.
We did indeed fix the problem with "-Wno-register," though it's always
nice to not have the manual fix. But hey, Postgres is a C project, so
it's all good 😄. Thanks for getting back to me, Tom.
