This format seems more than acceptable. It'd be nice to avoid printf for such a small thing; but at least we can use the %-specifiers only where necessary, so I'd do this instead: diff --git a/src/backend/storage/lmgr/generate-lwlocknames.pl b/src/backend/storage/lmgr/generate-lwlocknames.pl index 084da2ea6e0..2927f144905 100644 --- a/src/backend/storage/lmgr/generate-lwlocknames.pl +++ b/src/backend/storage/lmgr/generate-lwlocknames.pl @@ -108,7 +108,8 @@ while (<$lwlocklist>) $continue = ",\n"; # Add a "Lock" suffix to each lock name, as the C code depends on that - print $h "#define ${lockname}Lock (&MainLWLockArray[$lockidx].lock)\n"; + printf $h "#define %-32s (&MainLWLockArray[$lockidx].lock)\n", + "${lockname}Lock"; } die -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/
