HI,
I am asking this question is because I need to modify the open source
software of postgres and I completely have no idea on how to start the
project.
Here is more details. I usually work on Linux and use GNU compiler. So far,
the project that I wrote is less than 10 files (with vim, no IDE so far). I
usually compile them separately and put them together as a single
executable file.
Now I need to modify the postgres source code. The source of it contains
hundreds of files which is too much for me.
I need to understand it, make a small modification and add some functions
or subroutines in the software as new features.
Could you tell me where to start?
I am using the eclipse IDE to modify the source code of postgres. I was
trying to modify a particular function, so I commented some of the lines ,
and made the function return a constant, after that I tried to debug the
source code. But now it is returning an error.
PS :- I do know that the documentation of the source code exists here
http://www.postgresql.org/developer/coding/ . I went through it, but could
not completely understand it.can someone explain me in lay man terms.
Thanks.
