Subject: Simplify signature of ProcessStartupPacket()
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 15:22:12 +0900
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Hi all,

In one of the recent patches committed into the tree (b63f25bddfeb),
Daniel has come up with the suggestion to simplify
ProcessStartupPacket() by removing its arguments "ssl_done" and
"gss_done", as there is now only one callers of this routine.

Please find attached a patch to do this cleanup.  This is only for
HEAD, material for v20.

Thanks,

Michael

Subject: [PATCH] Simplify signature of ProcessStartupPacket()

There is now only one caller of ProcessStartupPacket(), so let's
simplify the routine so as the GSS and SSL states are tracked inside it.
If future callers are added, there is less guessing to do.
