+1. Experience has shown this kind of effort to be a tarpit. It turns out that refactoring away compiler dependencies has this kind of fractal complexity - the more you look at it, the less sense it makes. I would be in favor of this if there were compelling gains in either compile time (and like others, I have a pretty high bar for compelling here), or if the refactoring effort remedied a clear modularity violation. Though I think it has to happen every once in a while, I'd suggest about every 5 years as the right interval. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
