Re: Fwd: Keywords in pg_hba.conf should be field-specific

Hello Brendan,

I checked  your patch, it is applied cleanly and I don't see any mayor
problem. This patch does all what is expected.

I have two minor comments

a) you don't use macro "token_matches" consistently

func: parse_hba_line

<------>if (strcmp(token->string, "local") == 0)

should be if (token_is_keyword(token, "local"))...

I don't see any sense when somebody use a quotes there.

b) probably you can simplify a memory management using own two
persistent memory context - and you can swap it. Then functions like
free_hba_record, clean_hba_list, free_lines should be removed.

Regards

Pavel Stehule
