Re: Add missing const qualifier in ECPG

I just applied most of your patch to 8.0, 8.1 and HEAD. The only thing I
didn't is:

diff -c -r1.7 memory.c
*** ecpglib/memory.c 15 Oct 2005 02:49:47 -0000 1.7
--- ecpglib/memory.c 16 Nov 2005 00:40:57 -0000
***************
*** 11,17 ****
void
ECPGfree(void *ptr)
{
! free(ptr);
}

char *
--- 11,18 ----
void
ECPGfree(void *ptr)
{
! if (ptr)
! free(ptr);
}

char *

Is there a reason why you changed this? Acocrding to the docs free(NULL)
does nothing anyway.

Also you mentioned:
...
seems we allow strdup() fails silently in various
places. Shall we do something about it?
...

Yes! Thanks for pointing this out. I already committed a patch that
changes alls strdup() calls to ECPGstrdup() calls that correctly raise
an error condition.
