Desupport of C-Extension API functions

BIGINT and BOOLEAN stack functions and C API functions for C-Extensions are no longer supported.

Note: Starting with version 3.10 (also backported in 3.00.10), the popbigint() and pushbigint() function are again available.

Since version 2.51:

The C-Extension stack functions to handle BIGINT and BOOLEAN types have been removed:

Table 1. Desupported FGL stack functions
popboolean()
popbigint()
pushboolean()
pushbigint()

The C API functions such as decadd(), risnull(), rsetnull(), have been removed. These functions are part of the IBM^® Informix^® ESQL/C product and cannot be part of the Genero BDL product. The Genero runtime system provides only the C functions to push and pop data on the Genero BDL stack.

Below is the list of C API functions that have been removed, check your C extension code for the usage of these functions. If such functions are required, link your C-Extensions with the IBM Informix ESQL/C libraries.
