Hello,

Please consider following comments on the patch.

In function ParseVariableNum,

> if (!val || !val[0])
>       return false;

Check for 'val == NULL' as in above condition is done even in callers of ParseVariableNum(). 
There should be only one such check.

>+       psql_error("Invalid value \"%s\" for \"%s\"\nAn integer is expected\n",
Cant we have this error in ParseVariableNum() similar to ParseVariableBool() ?

>+       /*

>+       if (autocommit && !pset.autocommit &&

The above change in autocommit behaviour needs to be documented.


Thank you,

Hello,

The patch works fine on applying on latest master branch and testing it for various variables as listed in PsqlSettings struct.
I will post further comments on patch soon.

Thank you,

I scanned this patch very quickly and think it addresses my previous
stylistic objections.  Rahila is the reviewer of record though, so
I'll wait for his comments before going further.
