from the core repository ... I haven't *moved* the libpq++ files out of the
tree, mainly as we want to keep them in place for past branches ...

Peter, I think I've covered all the files I need, and re-ran autoconf to make
sure the configure file is in place properly ...

will make fixing things easier.

file.


The program seems to compile ok, but when linking a program that uses
the call,
g++ chokes with an undefined reference error.


If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:

I include the code:

Oid PgLargeObject::LOid(){
  return pgObject;
}

in the .cc file.

PQExec(" ") in the wrapper around PQnotifies(), fix the Makefile for
the examples so that they will actually compile properly (with the
exception of #5, which depends on internal headers), make a minor change
to libpq++.h so that "make examples" now works on my machine, update
some documentation, fix some grammatical problems, and remove some of
the more hideous comments.

only if configure found it was safe to do so; do not assume const_cast
is available.

still looking at the best way to integrate Tom Vijlbrief's fixes
(insofar as they're still needed); would 7.2 be a suitable time for
incompatible API changes?

Changes:

(*) Introduced bool, true, false (replacing some int, 1, 0)
(*) Made some member functions const
(*) Documented GetIsNull()
(*) Marked DisplayTuples() and PrintTuples() as obsolescent; fixed possible
    portability problem (assumed that NULL pointer equals all-zero bit pattern)
(*) PrintTuples(): renamed width parameter to fillAlign to conform with other
    usage; fixed memory leak and compile issue w.r.t. field separator (should
    also slightly improve performance)
(*) Fixed some minor compilation issues
(*) Moved "using namespace std;" out of headers, where they didn't belong; used
    new (temporary) preprocessor macro PGSTD to do this
(*) Made ToString() static, removed unneeded memset(), made buffer size adapt
    to sizeof(int)
(*) Made some constructors explicit
(*) Changed some const std::string & parameters to plain std::string
(*) Marked PgCursor::Cursor(std::string) as obsolescent (setter with same name
    as getter--bad style)
(*) Renamed some paramaters previously named "string"
(*) Introduced size_type typedef for number of tuples in result set
(*) PgTransaction now supports re-opening after closing, and aborts if not
    explicitly committed prior to destruction

libpq++.h contained copies of the class declarations in the other libpq++
include files, which was bogus enough, but the declarations were not
completely in step with the real declarations.  Remove these in favor
of including the headers with #include.  Make PgConnection destructor
virtual (not absolutely necessary, but seems like a real good idea
considering the number of subclasses derived from it).  Give all classes
declared private copy constructors and assignment operators, to prevent
compiler from thinking it can copy these objects safely.

file headers, to conform to established Postgres coding style and avoid
warnings from gcc.

It will all need to be checked in.  I used the char *rcsid[] method for
cvs ids so it can be strings | grep'd to find version numbers.  The new
version for the library is 3.0.

Run configure from src/ to create the Makefile and it should be good to
go.

I did minimal documentation references in the README, I'll see if I can
get something to Tom Lockhart rather quickly.
