Thread: using PGOPTIONS in meson

hi.
i am wondering ways to do
``make check PGOPTIONS="-c debug_parallel_query=regress -c work_mem=50MB"``
in meson way, especially the PGOPTIONS part.

I have looked at [1] and [2].

This isn't really a make specific thing, i.e. there's no make specific logic
for PGOPTIONS. Options passed to make just end up as environment variables and
libpq looks at environment variables.  Which means you just need to set an
environment variable, which can be done without make:

PGOPTIONS="..." meson test ...

or export PGOPTIONS="..."; mesoin test ...
