I'm not sure exactly what you have in mind. If you think you have a
way to make that work, it would be good to see a patch with it.
About this:
1. StaticAssertSmt can not help.
Although some posts on the web show that it is possible to calculate the number of arguments,
I didn't get anything useful.
So I left this option.
2. Compiler supports
Best solution.
But currently does not allow the suggestion to use another function.
3. Owner tool
Temporary solution.
Can help, until the compilers build support for it.
So, I made one very simple tool, can do the basics here.
Not meant to be some universal lint.
It only processes previously coded functions.
pg_check test1.c
line (1): should be appendPQExpBufferStr?
line (2): should be appendPQExpBufferChar?
line (4): should be appendPQExpBufferStr?
line (5): should be appendPQExpBufferStr?
I don't think it's anywhere near the quality to be considered Postgres, but it could be a start.
If it helps, great, if not, fine.
