From 4513d8b07bf342028ca95250b6e1d759858abdd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Eisentraut Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2019 11:21:02 +0100 Subject: Move configure --disable-float8-byval to pg_config_manual.h This build option was once useful to maintain compatibility with version-0 functions, but those are no longer supported, so this option is no longer useful for end users. We keep the option available to developers in pg_config_manual.h so that it is easy to test the pass-by-reference code paths without having to fire up a 32-bit machine.
