There are two problems: 1) DllMain breaks the build *completely*. This is the really urgent one. This one broke 2 days ago or so. 2) Regression tests don't pass on MSVC anymore. This broke a while ago. I was working on fixing this, but now that the build is broken there isn't much I can do until that's fixed. > Since I do not know whether we really need DllMain could anyone please > test whether ecpg builds correctly without it?

We could move the initialization somewhere else, but it needs to be somewhere. Also, see http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-10/msg00006.php for another comment on this. This changes more than just the threading stuff, but if it's something we want then this is a good time to do it. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
