I posted a message to pgsql-hackers-win32 regarding a problem with libpq exports on Win32 the other day, but have yet to receive any replies. Magnus & I have discussed the problem over IM and we both believe it is important to fix, but neither of us are fluent enough in make-ese to do so.
Basically the issue is that the symbols exported by the mingw build of libpq.dll do not match those exported by the VC++/Borland builds. What we seem to get is: - Mingw exports *all* symbols appropiate for the given build. - VC++/Borland builds appear to export only the published API, but not the SSL related symbols (even with SSL enabled in the build). I can probably sort the second problem by adding a second set of .def files for SSL builds, however it seems to me that the mingw build should not export all symbols. Whether or nt that is changed, the 2 build types certainly need to be brought into sync otherwise Windows users may end up seeing unexplained crashes. Any comments on what should be done (and whether I should hack the BCC/VC++ stuff)?
