Hi. Now that v17beta2 is part of my dev-env, I'm trying out the new API.
And I discover there's no version macro for conditional compilation in LIBPQ...
I found https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/968815.1623936849%40sss.pgh.pa.us
where Tom thinks that a horrible idea, and instead proposes a new
_HAS_ flag instead.
Except of course there's on such flag for the new PQsocketPoll in beta2...
I see only 3 such _HAS_ flags.
I'm not sure what's so wrong with version macro as such.
- GCC has one.
- [SQLite has one][1].
- Why can't LIBPQ have one?
That's exactly the kind of issues they are designed to solve for code
that needs to be portable across versions. What am I missing?
Thanks, --DD
