The problem is (1) not all compilers support inline, (2) the ones that
do have divergent ideas on its semantics, and (3) the semantics
specified by C99 utterly suck (cf tuplesort.c).  gcc's traditional
semantics for inline are far more usable.  We have done "#ifdef gcc"
inlines in one or two places where the performance argument for adding
such clutter was compelling.  We can do that some more, but you'll need
equally compelling arguments.  Do not bother submitting patches to
create a very large number of inlines.

My recollection is that we support C89, which might be a bit out of 
date, but then we try not to obsolete platforms if possible.

We have some defensive coding for compilers that do not support it, for
example on pg_list.h ...  I have no idea if there's a compiler in actual
use that needs this.

Not all compilers like (== support) inline macros apparently.


Is it your assumption or do you mean some specific compiler? IIRC, inline is 
defined in C99 and my assumption :-) is that it should be supported by all

be used without bufmgr.h, and so that file really is a prerequisite.
If we removed the include here it would just have to pop up in
calling .c files.  Anyplace that that was solely because of calling
one of the macros defined by bufpage.h, rather than explicitly using

Yeah, I see it now. BufferGetPageSize and BufferGetPage macros uses macros from 
bufmgr. But I think, They should be moved to the bufmgr.h where is better and 
more logic place for them.





It's probably true that we've let the header inclusions in storage/

involve having to move some declarations around, when we realize
something got put in a poorly chosen place.


Yes, agree. I need also fix problem with pgxlogreset and design how to track 
history (multi version) of structures related to upgrade (e.g. page layout ...).

I will look on it.

I'm not in a hurry --- as we found out last time, that script isn't
really bright enough.  When the state of the headers gets bad enough
that we're willing to accept collateral damage, then it should be
run, but I don't think it's reliable enough to use routinely.

Last run was July, 2006:

revision 1.48
date: 2006/07/13 18:01:01;  author: momjian;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -2
More include file adjustments.

revision 1.47
date: 2006/07/13 17:47:01;  author: momjian;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -1
More include file adjustments.

revision 1.46
date: 2006/07/13 16:49:19;  author: momjian;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -1
Allow include files to compile own their own.

Strip unused include files out unused include files, and add needed
includes to C files.

I run it every few years rather than every year because it can break
stuff that we have to manually fix by adding includes.

If you want it run now or every year, let me know.

Main point there is bufpage.h I have needed include this header in page layout 
convector but it include bufmgr.h which is useless there and generates a lot of 
another dependences (e.g. on fmgr.h). Other changes are related to this change.
