Thread: Question about bit.h and bit.c

Question about bit.h and bit.c

From
Sailesh Krishnamurthy

I have a small nit

Why is it that bit.h is in src/include/utils and bit.c is in
src/backend/lib ? 

I can never for the life of me remember which is in which :-)

Possibly a more interesting question is why haven't we ditched them both
... AFAICT none of the bit.c routines are used anymore.

True. I just searched and found the only uses of the bitmask functions
(now greatly expanded) in our code :-)
