Hi Everybody, I recieved this patch from Loic that allows linking cli_c and pgserver into a library, so you can run one app and pgserver in a single process. It's a pretty nifty capability, but I'm afraid that this implementation will interfere with reorganizing the network code later. I haven't been able to decide whether to add this to CVS yet, so I thought I'd ask the community :)
Forwarded below is Loic's argument for including the patch, and the patch itself is available as a .tar.gz of diffs from the Sourceforge patch tracker. This includes a description: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=545912&group_id=4764&atid=304764 ----- Forwarded message from Loic Dachary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Loic Dachary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: pgserver + cli_c in a single process Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Got your message on IRC saying: just from the description in the email though, I don't think I'll be integrating the whole thing into CVS. I was planning on handling the issue rather differently... but it's great to have the patches until i finally get around to implementing the planned stuff but was too slow to respond and you were gone ;-) I'd like to advocate for integrating the patch into CVS for the following reasons: - It is small and can be trashed when you decide to implement things otherwise. Even better, we can discuss your ideas and implement them ourselves at a later time. - I want to mature it so that it becomes stable and still minimal and this will require some work in the next few weeks. Doing so on the basis of a CVS + patch will be much harder for me since I'll have to fight with CVS conflicts every now and then. - There is little chance that people try it / discover problems if only provided as a patch somewhere. - I'll need to contribute to other aspects of PICOgui and when submitting patches they won't apply to the CVS because of my patched version. - The PICOgui + patches scheme is more than likely to encourage people to fork PICOgui merely for code maintainance convenience, which is something I don't want to see happen. I sincerly hope you'll see the rationale of my request. If something is really bothering you with the current patch, I'll make sure the problem is solved.
