While looking around to fix the pg_malloc(0) issue, I noticed that various other pieces of code such as pg_basebackup have essentially identical functions, except they're called xmalloc(). I propose to standardize all these things on this set of names:
pg_malloc pg_malloc0 (for malloc-and-zero behavior) pg_calloc (randomly different API for pg_malloc0) pg_realloc pg_free pg_strdup Any objections? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
