Hi
I'm running postgresql 7.4.1 and ecpg 3.1.0.
When defining a symbol on the command line with ecpg -D SYMBOL the ecpg
preprocessor will replace that symbol with empty space in 'C' program
space rather than limiting it to 'SQL' program space.
For example:
EXEC SQL IFDEF SYMBOL;
EXEC SQL ...
EXEC SQL ENDIF;
#ifdef SYMBOL
...
#endif
compiling with ecpg -D SYMBOL results in
EXEC SQL IFDEF SYMBOL;
EXEC SQL ...
EXEC SQL ENDIF;
#ifdef
...
#endif
It shouldn't touch anything outside EXEC SQL.
Also, if you try to fool ecpg by compiling with ecpg -D SYMBOL=SYMBOL it
will sit in an infinite loop gobbling as much virtual memory as it sees fit.
