Subject: pgsql: pg_dump: Use pg_malloc_object() and pg_malloc_array()
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 10:49:21 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

pg_dump: Use pg_malloc_object() and pg_malloc_array()

The idea is to encourage more the use of these allocation routines
across the tree, as these offer stronger type safety guarantees than
pg_malloc() & co (type cast in the result, sizeof() embedded).  This set
of changes is dedicated to the pg_dump code.

Similar work has been done as of 31d3847a37be, as one example.
