Thread: pg_conn not declared in libpq-fe.h?

Hello :)

I want to compile a program which uses libpq-fe.h but it seems that
structure pg_conn ist not declared.

I have SuSE 8.2 and postgresql-devel-7.3.2-42

Thanks for any hints :)

Kind regards,
Hauke

The typedef is named PGconn.

Well, that's clear but there is another problem:
hauke@fafnir [pgsql] >>grep -H "typedef.*PGconn" *.h
libpq-fe.h:typedef struct pg_conn PGconn;
hauke@fafnir [pgsql] >>grep -H "pg_conn" *.h
libpq-fe.h:typedef struct pg_conn PGconn;
hauke@fafnir [pgsql] >>

So I miss the structure pg_conn :(
Maybe I have to include more than just libpq-fe.h?

hauke@fafnir [pgsql] >>find . -name "*.h" -exec grep -H pg_conn {} \;
./libpq-fe.h:typedef struct pg_conn PGconn;
./internal/libpq-int.h:struct pg_conn
hauke@fafnir [pgsql] >>

But I read I do not need lipq-int.h anymore.

You're right, the contents of the structure are not exported by the
library.  Your code should only use pointers to the struct, so it ought
not care what is in the struct.
