The issue is rather trivial but still, if there is no connection to DB, we get core dump in dm_db.c, db_connect: .... ConnectionPool_start(pool); TRACE(TRACE_DATABASE, "database connection pool started with [%d] connections, max [%d]", ConnectionPool_getInitialConnections(pool), ConnectionPool_getMaxConnections(pool)); ....
This is due to ConnectionPool_setAbortHandler is not set for libzdb so abort() is triggered. I think it is better just to exit with some nonzero exit status. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003172) hauk (reporter) - 15-Mar-11 13:53 http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/view.php?id=885#c3172 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > I think it is better just to exit with some nonzero exit status. IMHO it is not. Having a core file is a good thing incase of a fatal error, so I would recommend not setting an abort handler in DBMail. However to allow for some control I've changed libzdb to only abort if the debug flag is set, otherwise it'll call exit(1) unless an AbortHandler is set.
