1. preprocessor bug?

   Michael Meskes <meskes@topsystem.de> — 1998-02-12T08:15:58Z

   IMO this is a rather serious bug:
   
   {
   exec sql begin declare section;
   	long i;
   exec sql end declare section;
   	...
   	{
   		exec sql begin declare section;
           		short i;
   		exec sql end declare section;
   		...
   	}
   	...
   	some DB access into i;
   
   The code produced by ecpg now lists i with size 2 bytes, i.e. it still
   thinks i is a short.
   
   I believe I have found a way to work around this and disregard variable
   definitions as soon as they are no longer valid.
   
   To my big surprise though I noticed that ORACLE's proc suffers from the same
   bug. I hope it's okay with you that I don't care about compatibility and fix
   this. :-)
