Hi,
While investigating a bug report [1] I wanted to find all the pieces
of code that form PqMsg_DataRow messages and couldn't easily do it.
This is because one authors prefer writing:
pq_beginmessage(buf, 'D');
.. while others:
pq_beginmessage(buf, PqMsg_DataRow);
The proposed patchset fixes this.
- Patch 1 replaces all the char's with PqMsg's
- Patch 2 makes PqMsg an enum. This ensures that the problem will not
appear again in the future and also gives us a bit more type-safety.
- Patch 3 rearranges the order of the functions in pqformat.{c,h} a
bit to make the code easier to read.
