Re: [HACKERS] are there any cons to linking libstdc++ with postgresql?

Is there a penalty in just leaving LDFLAGS+= -lstdc++ in the postgresql port Makefile? Bad idea? What do you think? I'd rather use a libgeos wrapper using just extern C entry points, not the C++ mangled entries. Haven't checked yet how much trouble this may cause on geos, and if it will work with the exceptions. And if a simple .def with aliases would be enough. libgeos is huge. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

I'm a bit surprised the postgis guys seem to think it works. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
