Re: [HACKERS] information Windows - PostgreSQL
Not sure if this is useful - I just found it on MSDN. It talks about porting issues, including specifically signal handling techniques (it seems to recommend using windows messaging instead of signals for some scenarios).. I am not sure how easy it would be to abstract this away by providing a signalling library that contained it all. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnucmg/html/UCMGch09.asp cheers andrew Bruce wrote: > Merlin Moncure wrote: >> Bruce, >> >> I assume then that the MinGW environment is missing signal emulation >> that is present in the Microsoft C runtime distribution?

I don't know what is possible with MinGW vs Visual C. I need help. I would have dug into it, but I got pretty far with MinGW, then had to stop to catch up on email, and still not caught up enough to return to MinGW. -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
Re: [HACKERS] information Windows - PostgreSQL
Bruce, I assume then that the MinGW environment is missing signal emulation that is present in the Microsoft C runtime distribution? Microsoft's is copyrighted, of course in winsig.c (it is actually quite small, just a couple hundred lines of code). Are you proposing to rewrite that part of the CRT? I checked the redistribution license and winsig,etc.c are most certainly not suitable for incorporation into an open source project.

Re: [HACKERS] information Windows - PostgreSQL
Outside of some quirky behavior like int/0 handling, what is wrong with the peerdirect's signal handler so that it has to be redone? Win32 has signal handling, just not as robust and complete as *nix.

Not sure. We are petty deep in the backend code allowing CreateProcess and then we need to add signal handling.
