I want to make pg_config.h.in be automatically generated by autoheader so we don't have to edit it by hand, but there is a lot of stuff in pg_config.h.in that isn't directly generated by configure, so it needs to be moved elsewhere.
Here's what I want to do: Move DEF_NBUFFERS and DEF_MAXBACKENDS to the header files where NBuffers and MaxBackends are declared. Remove --with-maxbackends configure option. There's no need for users to edit these at compile time. All of the remaining code from "part 2" of the existing pg_config.h.in will be moved to a separate file (maybe pg_config_manual.h?) and will be unaffected by autoheader and configure. Everything in part 1 and 3 can be automatically generated. Move inclusion of pg_config_os.h to c.h. That means c.h will contain the following code near the top: #include pg_config.h #include pg_config_manual.h #include pg_config_os.h (Perhaps the first one should be renamed to pg_config_auto.h for parallelism?) All code in part 5 will be moved to c.h section 8, which contains similar code already anyway. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
