At this point I think it'd be possible to make float4 be pass-by-value
without too much work --- and float8 too on machines where Datum is
8 bytes. Something to try when the mood strikes, anyway.
inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards
fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short
parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still
more to do for the Alpha port however.
Subject: [HACKERS] Money integration patches
Here are patches to integrate the money data type. I have included
some math and aggregate functions and have made the locale support optional
by #ifdef USE_LOCALE bracketing of functions.
Modules affected are:
builtins.h.patch
cash.c.patch
cash.h.patch
main.c.patch
pg_aggregate.h.patch
pg_operator.h.patch
pg_proc.h.patch
pg_type.h.patch
I changed the data type to be pass-by-reference rather than by-value
to pave the way for a larger internal representation (64-bit ints?).
Also, I changed the tabbing of cash.c and cash.h to match most of
the other Postgres source code files (4 space indent, 8 spaces == 1 tab).
The locale stuff should be tested under another convention (Russian?)
but I don't know what the correct results should be so perhaps someone
else can give them a try. Will update docs and regression tests in
the next few days.
pg_proc.h still needs modifying, but this gets it in there so that we can
get around any compiler bugs. Will try and get the pg_proc.h entries done
up later tonight...
