I'd like to do that but I doubt we can get away with it; it'd be an incompatible change at the binary API level, forcing a major version bump on libpq.so. (On the other hand, we might wind up doing one anyway; not sure.) You could do it the other way: PQfreemem a macro for PQfreeNotify. That would stay binary-compatible with existing clients. We could switch which one is a macro at the next occasion for a major version bump on the shlib, and then eventually remove PQfreeNotify when we feel it's been deprecated for long enough. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
