Hi Christian -- Sorry about the delay. The patch is based on PG version 9.5.3.
The commit history of the repo should give a high-level idea of the changes
required in PG to support compilation by a C++ compiler. I presume that
Peter's patch would be easier to integrate into PG. In any case, I would be
very glad to see PostgreSQL support C++.
Regards.

Do you remember the particular commit of PG upon which you based this
work? Or even better, are you able to post a patch which applies
cleanly to PG's current HEAD?
I ask because I'd like to compare your approach to the one Peter has
posted, and I think that will be easier if I can use a common (or at
least similar) baseline for the comparison.
Kind regards,
Christian
