============================================================================
                        POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
============================================================================


Your name		: Andreas Theofilu
Your email address	: theofilu@eunet.at


System Configuration
---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)  	: Intel Pentium

  Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) 	: Linux 2.2.7 ELF

  PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.5.1): PostgreSQL-6.5.1

  Compiler used (example:  gcc 2.8.0)		: egcs-2.91.66


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
There is a problem with 'ecpg'.
If you've the SQL command

   EXEC SQL free <cursorname>

you can't compile the resulting c-file. 'ecpg' translates the above command
 into

   { ECPGdeallocate (__LINE__, NULL, "<cursorname"); }

This is wrong, because the function ECPGdeallocate has only 2 (two!)
parameters. It should be translated into

   { ECPGdeallocate (__LINE__, "<cursorname"); }

For a fix look below.



Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a file with the SQL command

   EXEC SQL free <cursorname>

Let it through the preprocessor 'ecpg' and try to compile it with the
C-Compiler.


If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This can easily be fixed. Change line 988 of file
'postgresql-6.5.1/src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/preproc.y' to

   fprintf (yyout, "{ ECPGdeallocate (__LINE__, \"%s\");", $1);

This fixed the bug here :-).
