Today's puzzler for the curious: Last night the buildfarm reported two ECPG-Check failures
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=salamander&dt=2007-07-08%2017:30:00 http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=canary&dt=2007-07-08%2017:30:01 which promptly went away again. Judging by the timestamps these must have been induced by Joe's PQconnectionUsedPassword() patch and fixed by my subsequent tweaking, but how the heck did that result in an ecpg failure? I think that the cause must have had something to do with his inclusion of postgres_fe.h into libpq-fe.h, which I took out on the grounds that it was an unacceptable pollution of client code namespace. But exactly why/how did that break ecpg, and why did the failure only manifest on NetBSD machines? I don't really have time to investigate this, but would like to know what happened. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
