Could not load library on postgresql 12

Hello,

hypopg is calling AllocSetContextCreate(): https://github.com/HypoPG/hypopg/blob/REL1_STABLE/hypopg.c#L94

This is a macro calling AllocSetContextCreateExtended in pg11:

#if defined(HAVE__BUILTIN_CONSTANT_P) && defined(HAVE__VA_ARGS)
#define AllocSetContextCreate(parent, name, ...) \
	(StaticAssertExpr(__builtin_constant_p(name), \
					  "memory context names must be constant strings"), \
	 AllocSetContextCreateExtended(parent, name, __VA_ARGS__))
#else
#define AllocSetContextCreate \
	AllocSetContextCreateExtended
#endif

but not anymore in pg12:

#ifdef HAVE__BUILTIN_CONSTANT_P
#define AllocSetContextCreate(parent, name, ...) \
	(StaticAssertExpr(__builtin_constant_p(name), \
					  "memory context names must be constant strings"), \
	 AllocSetContextCreateInternal(parent, name, __VA_ARGS__))
#else
#define AllocSetContextCreate \
	AllocSetContextCreateInternal
#endif

This was changed in postgres/postgres@13cd7209f79.

It seems that this version you're using was compiled against pg11, or an older version of pg12. How did you install it?

I upgraded using pg_upgradecluster.
You are right. After recompiling hypopg the error disappeared.
Thank you!
