Use of inv_getsize in functions

Notice the word "static" in the definition of inv_getsize() in
src/backend/storage/large_object/inv_api.c:

static uint32
inv_getsize(LargeObjectDesc *obj_desc)
{
...
}

I don't know if there's a good reason for inv_getsize() being static.
Maybe your code could use inv_seek() instead.

No errors when compiling.

If you compile with warning flags, then you should at least have
gotten a warning like "implicit declaration of function `inv_getsize'".
That's a hint that something's wrong.

Hi,

I am programming a new set of functions for manipulation blobs, one
of the functions is that I want to get the size of the blob.

Huh, we don't call them "blobs". They are "large objects" in
PostgreSQL.

I have used other function calls like
inv_open with no problem, but when I load this modules I get:

undefined symbol: inv_getsize

That's because inv_getsize is declared as static.

I think it would be nice to export equivalent functionality, so one can
get the size of the LO without having to seek() and tell().

Hi,

Red ears, looking down on my shoes!

Well I code one getsize my self using inv_seek.

Had disabled a lot of compiler warnings because I am reusing a lot of
spaghetti code for testing etc. This was proberly a hint for starting
to clean up the code.
