Subject: pgsql: Introduce overflow-safe integer comparison functions.
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2024 19:38:40 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Introduce overflow-safe integer comparison functions.

This commit adds integer comparison functions that are designed to
be as efficient as possible while avoiding overflow.  A follow-up
commit will make use of these functions in many of the in-tree
qsort() comparators.  The new functions are not better in all cases
(e.g., when the comparator function is inlined), so it is important
to consider the context before using them.
