Hello!~
Now i encounter a function call problem in PostgreSQL's psql module!
The situation is as follow:
In ./src/bin/psql/common.c, I want to call the function pqCatenateResultError().
Function pqCatenateResultError() is declared in ./src/interfaces/libpq/libpq-init.h
extern void pqCatenateResultError(PGresult *res, const char *msg);
and is defined in ./src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c
void
pqCatenateResultError(PGresult *res, const char *msg)
{
PQExpBufferData errorBuf;
if (!res || !msg)
return;
initPQExpBuffer(&errorBuf);
if (res->errMsg)
appendPQExpBufferStr(&errorBuf, res->errMsg);
appendPQExpBufferStr(&errorBuf, msg);
pqSetResultError(res, errorBuf.data);
termPQExpBuffer(&errorBuf);
}
To call this function in ./common.c, I include 'libpq-init.h' in ./src/bin/psql/common.h .
As ./common.c include the header file 'common.h'.
But when I use pqCatenateResultError() in ./common.c, It appears "undefined reference to pqCatenateResultError()" first.
So I include 'extern void pqCatenateResultError(PGresult *res, const char *msg);' at the begining of './common.c' .
But this change make no difference to the result.
I do not know why this happened! Someone hlep me! Thank you.
There is another situation similar to the situation above:
Function PQexec() is declared in ./src/interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h and defined in ./src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c
extern PGresult *PQexec(PGconn *conn, const char *query);
I can call this function with no error happening!
These two situation puzzled me!~
