Re: BUG #14776: ecpg 4.12.0 issues with macros containing line continued blocks

Hello Michael,

Yes, I can. I had hit the "Save" button prematurely, expecting another
page to provide code fragments.

---

typedef char test_t[3];

EXEC SQL TYPE test_t IS VARCHAR[2];

// COMMENT OUT macros with line continued code block to get working
#define TEST_MACROS(x) { \
}

EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
test_t test;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

---

ecpg -o test.c test.pgc
test.pgc:10: ERROR: unrecognized data type name "test_t"

---

This test case works with ecpg (PostgreSQL 9.4.7) 4.10.0.
This test case works with ecpg (PostgreSQL 9.5.7) 4.11.0.
This test case does not work with ecpg (PostgreSQL 9.6.3) 4.12.0.

The code is processed successfully if the macros is omitted, commented
out or changed to be on a single line:

#define TEST_MACROS(x) { }

Thanks!

Best,
Thomas S. Chin
