At the risk of getting my butt kicked again, is there any way we can

Has any other platform come up with a need to look for the real pthread_*
calls from libpq?

I would REALLY like us to support threaded programs in UnixWare, and
would like to NOT antagonize the community, but would like to have a
direction I can go to make this happen in 7.5 before we freeze.

Perfect time to start talking about it, at least :)


Do you have a proposed patch to look at for doing this?
No, as I believe the way I want to do it was frowned upon.

I'd LIKE to be able to have PG wrappers for those functions, and
have the first invocation of them look via dlsym() for the real ones, and if they are NOT there, use fake functions that assume we are NOT threaded.


If they ARE present, indirect to the real functions.

I am looking for direction before expending a lot of effort on it, if it will ultimately be rejected.
