This patch makes, in its source code comments and error messages, overly enthusiastic references to the fact that a parameter setting was supposedly "commented". The only information that is really available, however, is that the parameter setting disappeared from the configuration file, and we should not be making other claims. Another issue that strikes me is that the GUC code apparently makes mixed used of palloc and guc_malloc, and this patch continues that. I'm not sure if this is really well thought out. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
