New patch, typo fix in pgc.l.
According to our customer who is porting their application
to PostgreSQL, this causes an error currently in ECPG:
========================================
1. within included structures the use of "$else;" is causing an
precompiler error (tested several times in different programs)
/home/progs/fors_neu/share/include/bwltrec.h:124: ERROR: syntax error at
or near ";"
Example:
mainprog.ec:
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL INCLUDE share/include/bwltrec.h; /* record bwlt */
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
bwltrec.h:
struct record_type_bwlt
{ int firmnr; /* Firmennummer (2,0) */
int liwerk; /* Werk - Lieferant (2,0) */
...
$ifdef FORS3;
string besktr[7]; /* Kostentraeger */
$else;
string besktr[13]; /* Kostentraeger */
$endif;
} bwlt;
========================================
It looks to me that "EXEC SQL else;" is expected in the native
syntax, but "$else" (without ";" at the end of the line) is expected
in compat mode. Considering that the ";" seems to be expected
by esql, this must be a typo in ecpg/preproc/pgc.l
