I think what he was asking is this: Since pid_t has to be a signed integer type, but gcc does not accept %d for it, then it could be that pid_t is wider than an int, so casting it to int would potentially lose information. (Btw., the Windows port defines pid_t as unsigned long; that's surely wrong.) -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
