Hi,
I am interested in this feature and tried the patch. While reading the comments,
I noticed some minor things that could possibly be improved (in v27-0003 patch).
1.
+ /*
+ * Open a file for writing.
+ *
+ * 'mode' can be one of ''w', 'wb', 'a', and 'ab'. Requrires an already
+ * initialized CompressFileHandle.
+ */
+ int (*open_write_func) (const char *path, const char *mode,
+ CompressFileHandle *CFH);
There is a redundant single quote in front of 'w'.
2.
/*
* Callback function for WriteDataToArchive. Writes one block of (compressed)
* data to the archive.
*/
/*
* Callback function for ReadDataFromArchive. To keep things simple, we
* always read one compressed block at a time.
*/
Should the function names in the comments be updated?
WriteDataToArchive
->
writeData
ReadDataFromArchive
->
readData
3.
+ Assert(strcmp(mode, "r") == 0 || strcmp(mode, "rb") == 0);
Could we use PG_BINARY_R instead of "r" and "rb" here?
