in name.c file in source code of postgresql I find some fuctions that I don't know where did use them? the functions are: int namecpy(Name n1, Name n2){..} int namecat(Name n1, Name n2){..} int namecmp(Name n1, Name n2){..} int namestrcpy(Name name, const char *str){..} int namestrcat(Name name, const char *str){..} also before some of these functions became the #ifdef NOT_USED when NOT_USED is set?and why it set? thanks.
It's never defined, of course, or else the name would be a lie. That means this is essentially dead code which we haven't removed for some reason.
If you want to find out where something is used, grep -r is one way to look. ctags is another. Each developer has his/her own way of doing tasks like this.
