Problem with it is it needs some changes to configure.in (and associated files) for it to be worthwhile. Checks would need to be added to determine is threads are supported on the build platform and the needed compile and link flags. I'm trying to get this together for libpq too. > Just two questions: > - Is it neccessary to patch c.h for ecpg? No, but each ecpg source file would need something like: #ifdef HAVE_PTHREAD_H # include <pthread.h> # include <errno.h> #endif It's in c.h just now for ease of testing. > - Not sure with the version numbering but I can fix that later. As discussed on pgsql-hackers after the 7.3 release any "binary incompatible" library change needs a major version number increase.
