Research direction

Review the Debian CFLAGS list in the issue and the gem's compilation configuration, then compare each SQLite option with the features and compatibility requirements of this Ruby binding. Done means reaching and documenting a decision about which flags, if any, should be enabled when the gem compiles.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Debian currently sets these flags (as of sid/unstable 3.46.1-1, see http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sqlite3/sqlite3_3.46.1-1.debian.tar.xz)

export CFLAGS += -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing \
    -DSQLITE_SECURE_DELETE -DSQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_PARENTHESIS \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_RTREE=1 -DSQLITE_SOUNDEX=1 \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_DBSTAT_VTAB \
    -DSQLITE_ALLOW_ROWID_IN_VIEW \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_UPDATE_DELETE_LIMIT=1 \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_LOAD_EXTENSION \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_JSON1 \
    -DSQLITE_LIKE_DOESNT_MATCH_BLOBS \
    -DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=1 \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_TOKENIZER=1 \
    -DSQLITE_USE_URI=1 \
    -DSQLITE_MAX_SCHEMA_RETRY=25 \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_PREUPDATE_HOOK \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_SESSION \
    -DSQLITE_ENABLE_STMTVTAB \
    -DSQLITE_STRICT_SUBTYPE=1 \
    -DSQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER=250000

Any of these make sense for this gem to set when it compiles?
