Re: Avoid unecessary MemSet call (src/backend/utils/cache/relcache.c)

Hi Ranier,

Following the comment in commit 9fd45870c1436b477264c0c82eb195df52bc0919,

    (The same could be done with appropriate memset() calls, but this
    patch is part of an effort to phase out MemSet(), so it doesn't touch
    memset() calls.)

Should these obviously possible replacement of the standard library
function "memset" be considered as well? For example, something like the
attached one which is focusing on the pageinspect extension only.

Best regards,

David
