[HACKERS] Missing types in C header files
Hi, I'm trying to start to program with the PostgreSQL's geometric primitive types, and have started to write some code using them (PostgreSQL version 7.1.3, installed from source). However when I include the file utils/geo_decls.h I get an error starting that the type PGFunction (found in a file included from geo_decls.h) cannot be found. I've done a search of all the header files in my installation (and also all the source files that I compiled), and cannot find the definition of the PGFunction type. Does anyone have any idea of where I can find this definition, or of why it might be missing. -- Tony ----- Dr. Tony Griffiths Research Fellow Information Management Group, Department of Computer Science, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, United Kingdom Tel. +44 (0) 161 275 6139 Fax +44 (0) 161 275 6236 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [HACKERS] Missing types in C header files
I've looked in fmgr.h and there is no definition of this type there - it uses the type, but does not define it.

Tony?? ;) I'd love to get involved in this, BUT... no time at the moment, although if I get a really good Masters student next semester - I could always do this as their project. If this is still a requirement in about 3 months then I can set someone on to it.

I've found the mistake - as usual it's down to me! I didn't realise that I had to include postgres.h before including geo_decls.h All now compiles ok.
