Yes, that's the better solution. It will probably just upset a lot of people's thinking. The main problem way back when I last considered this seriously was that it wasn't clear how many compilers don't support -o with -c. The paper doesn't offer a clear solution to that, but it might be that the problem is effectively gone now. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
