Thread: Exposing guc_malloc/strdup/realloc for plugins?

Hi all,

While hacking on an extension, I have finished by doing things similar
to guc_malloc & friends for the allocation of a GUC parameter for malloc
portability.  While that's not really a big deal to copy/paste this
code, I am wondering if it would make sense to expose them for extension
developers.  Please see the attached for the simple idea.

Thanks,

Although I didn't need similar code on some extensions, code reuse is
always a good goal.
