Re: [HACKERS] Re: [QUESTIONS] libpq++

The previous implementation of libpq++ was full of bugs, leaked memory
all over the place, and suffered from C style programming.  That is
why it had to be rewritten.  I would not even recommend brining this
monstrosity back to life.  The ANSII string class that is used in
libpq++ in its current reincarnation comes standard with g++ and
compiles well everywhere.  It does not add too much complexity or
size to the final library.  It only makes it more stable and
maintanable.  I would vote against regressing to the previous form
of libpq++.

I build the old version (from postgres95-1.09) libpq++ with libpq 6.1.
It works good enough (at least in my program unde FreeBSD). May be for
backward compatibility it will be useful to include the old libpq++
(e.g. as libpqo++) in the postgres distribution? The reason -
old libpq++ is simple and does not use C++ template classes. If
somebody is interesting in it I can send the code.
