Default [BUGS] Silly typo in proc.h - 01-29-2012 , 04:42 PM






In proc.h, it says:

"Prior to PostgreSQL 9.2, the fieds below "

This is obviously a typo, and should read "the fields below".

I recently started to take the precaution of running an American
English spell checker over my code before submitting patches - the vim
one works rather well here, though I'm sure that equivalent tools are
available for emacs and other popular editors. I use American English
spelling for code, and British English for everything else, but it can
be hard to avoid switching back.

It's difficult to know where I should be drawing the line with this
stuff. Should I continue to report trivialities like these as bugs? I
would think that in the case of documentation the answer is "yes", but
I can't help but feel slightly silly about reporting cases like this.

Fixed, thanks.

Hmm ... it's not a "bug", strictly speaking, since by definition it
doesn't affect functionality. But I think this sort of thing is worth
cleaning up, just because it distracts would-be readers of the code.
Perhaps better to mention this sort of thing on pgsql-hackers instead
of pgsql-bugs.
