I am trying to build a small program with libpq as the interface to a Postgre database. I am using the most current version. My program uses malloc and free hooks to manage memory without having to request memory from the system all the time. I expected that the init function (__malloc_initialize_hook) would run before anything else, but after opening a number of connections to the database with PQconnectdb, my program blows up because of a free which refers to a block of memory that wasn't allocated using my malloc function. My program runs without a hitch if I comment out the PQconnectdb function calls.

Is there something that runs before my malloc init function in libpq? If there is, is there a way to make it happen afterwards? Is there a library interface which doesn't have hidden init functions?



Please reply to me directly as well as CCing to the list; I haven't subscribed to the list.

Thank you very much for your input,

Rob Stoddard
