I was looking at the comments in libpq-be.h:
/*
* Initialize global SSL context.
*
* If isServerStart is true, report any errors as FATAL (so we don't return).
* Otherwise, log errors at LOG level and return -1 to indicate trouble,
* preserving the old SSL state if any. Returns 0 if OK.
*/
extern int be_tls_init(bool isServerStart);
It isn't our usual practice to put such API comments with the extern
rather than the function definition, so maybe those comments in libpq-be.h
should be moved to their respective functions? In any case, I'm not
excited about having three separate comments covering the same point.
