Dear all,
After struggling for one week to to integrate FreeBSD's vfprintf.c into
PostgreSQL I finally gave up. It is too dependent on underlying
FreeBSD system functions. To incorporate it into PostgreSQL we need
to move vfprintf.c file itself, two dozen files form gdtoa and a half
a dozen __XXtoa.c files scattered in apparently random fashion all
around FreeBSD source tree.
Instead I researched some other implementations of snprintf on
the web released under a license compatible with PostgreSQL's.
The most suitable one I have come upon is Trio
[http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/trio/]
It is distributed under a MIT-like license which, I think will be
compatible with us.
What do you think about it? Shall I abandon FreeBSD and go ahead
ıncorporatıng Trıo?
And by the way, what ıs the conclusıon of snprıntf() vs. pg_snprintf()
and UNIX libraries discussion a week ago? Which one shall
I implement?
Regards,
Nicolai Tufar
