I have also come to this realization.  I propose to move pgfnames to
src/common/pgfnames.c.

 Hopefully there's not much more.

I have also come to this realization. ;-)

Please have a look at my patch at
20130827215416.gf4...@eldon.alvh.no-ip.org particularly the checkdir.c
file.  Perhaps we'd like to put both these routines (which are related
to directories) in a single file (directory.c?).  In that case I would
suggest putting your new routine in that file, and we'd add the checkdir
stuff in there eventually.

I don't necessarily object to pgfnames.c in any case, if that's thought
to be cleaner.

I think smaller files are better, especially for a static library.

[HACKERS] libpgport vs libpgcommon

2013-10-16 Thread Peter Eisentraut
I wonder whether it was ever consciously decided what the dependency
relationship between libpgport and libpgcommon would be.  When I added
asprintf(), I had intuitively figured that libpgport would be the lower
layer, and so psprintf() in libpgcommon depends on vasprintf() in
libpgport.  I still think that is sound.  But working through the
buildfarm issues now it turns out that wait_result_to_str() in libpgport
depends on pstrdup() in libpgcommon.  That doesn't seem ideal.  I think
in this case we could move wait_error.c to libpgcommon.  But I would
like to know what the consensus on the overall setup is.

Interesting.  I, too, would have figured that libpgport is lower-level,
because any higher-level library might need the libc functions it replaces.
Moving wait_error.c to libpgcommon makes sense.  dirmod.c perhaps deserves a
split into libpgcommon parts (e.g. pgfnames()) and libpgport parts
(e.g. pgrename()).  Hopefully there's not much more.

Thanks,
nm
