Given the above constraints, I think the only real role for C++ here would be to allow access to third-party C++ libraries as Postgres extensions --- for instance something like an XML or numerical analysis
I seem to recall that we're already able to do this. IIRC, some older postgis's wrapped some C++ library that they used internally; and some of my old scripts for installing postgres have: "env LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ ./configure --prefix=$PGHOME" I guess existing current c++ postgres extensions probably have a C wrapper? and I guess the main benefit of this project would be that the C wrapper could be thinner (or even nonexistant?) with these proposed changes? -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
