Hm, I take that back --- the other reason it's there is as a kluge to avoid supporting pthread_once(). This code all looks pretty darn hokey, not to mention that it ought to be merged with libpq's pthread-win32.c, but fixing it seems not a one-hour proposition. >> AFAIRC (and hopefully I'm right this time) >> multithreading never worked under msvc so we might have to set >> thread-safety to disabled on these systems for ecpg for the time being. If it didn't work then this seems clearly new-feature-development. I think Magnus' idea of providing an exports list would be worth trying, if someone can try it promptly; failing that, we need to revert this patch. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
