Message-ID: <E1vQjGG-002ZG8-0b@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Change Pointer to void *
The comment for the Pointer type said 'XXX Pointer arithmetic is done
with this, so it can't be void * under "true" ANSI compilers.'. This
has been fixed in the previous commit 756a4368932. This now changes
the definition of the type from char * to void *, as envisaged by that
comment.
Extension code that relies on using Pointer for pointer arithmetic
will need to make changes similar to commit 756a4368932, but those
changes would be backward compatible.
