it finds HAVE_BOOL defined? Then you could put in the
user guide where it talks about what header files and macros a server
extension needs if your program defines bool independently, define
HAVE_BOOL and if you want Postgres to define it, don't.

hours to trace
it back to my workaround and try something else.
So it would be an improvement to remove the code that purports to cope with
other definitions of bool. And maybe add a comment emphasizing that "bool" is
part of the binary interface between server ext
inversely
proportional to how popular the distribution was.
Likewise, programmers who defined "bool" in their own private code were (and I
guess still are) largely the inexperienced ones -- who hadn't yet been bitten
by an interface header file that arrogantly claimed the name &quo
.

Bear in mind that this isn't a syntax error - the compiler simply generates
the wrong code.

#includes a header file that #includes another that #includes the C99 standard
header file . The server extension also #includes .
The compile fails with the multiple definition of type "bool".
Here's a worse one (but hypothetical; I haven
y excited about that.
The thing is, you don't have to get terribly excited. Just slightly
interested. Because it just takes two lines of code with zero chance of
messing up anything to provide something with a practical use that makes
logical sense as well.

rver and user program are compiled with bools of different sizes,
disaster occurs. Postgres's bool is one byte; often, bool is 4 bytes.
I saw this in Postgres 8.4.3.
