The initial commit grouped them logically, and it went downhill from
there. :)


Some "per-section" comments in the file would help to remain consistent.

Yeah, we're overdue for another overhaul of GUC ordering.

Hrm ...

That begs a larger question ... as I'm working to add new config options that
don't really belong in an existing category, I guess I should create a new
category? I.e. the two config values are target_tuples_per_page and
target_compression_ratio ... and I'm not seeing an existing category that
they fall into. More description here:

But "at the end" is almost never a good answer in these situations, I think.

[HACKERS] Is there any ordering to the values in guc.c?

2015-10-28 Thread Bill Moran

See subject. Aside from them being divvied up by datatype, they seem
to be ordered randomly. Since I'm putting together a patch that will
add some GUCs, do I just add them to the end of the list?
