Subject: pgsql: Adjust MemSet macro to use size_t rather than long
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2025 23:27:54 +0000
Message-ID: <E1vKm9y-006xSG-2e@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Adjust MemSet macro to use size_t rather than long
Likewise for MemSetAligned.
"long" wasn't the most suitable type for these macros as with MSVC in
64-bit builds, sizeof(long) == 4, which is narrower than the processor's
word size, therefore these macros had to perform twice as many loops as
they otherwise might.
