But I can see an argument on the other side. Well, if we do want docs for these macros, then IMO it'd be okay to have them in libpq-fe.h itself rather than SGML. A one-line comment for each would suffice: +/* + * These symbols may be used in compile-time #ifdef tests for the availability + * of newer libpq features. + */ +/* Indicates presence of PQenterPipelineMode and friends */ +#define LIBPQ_HAS_PIPELINING 1 + +/* Indicates presence of PQsetTraceFlags; PQtrace changed output format */ +#define LIBPQ_HAS_TRACE_FLAGS 1 -- Álvaro Herrera 39°49'30"S 73°17'W
