hi!
I tried to extend the grammer for plpgsql by editing

postgresql-7.4.3/src/pl/plpgsql/src/gram.y

but as soon as you compile it (even without any changes)
it gives an error

user$ make
bison -y -d gram.y
/usr/bin/m4: ERROR: EOF in string

Has this been overlooked as the generated C file is also present in the
distro and no one noticed that the grammer file does not compile any more?

The database still installs and runs fine if installed using the configure
and make drill

thanks

What Bison version are you using? It appears to be broken.

Hardly.
