For ticket #2023, the first patch seems unlikely to work right since it changes the character encoding for LoadLibrary() but leaves it unchanged for FreeLibrary(). That seems wrong to me, but not having any access to WinCE (and having zero desire to ever get access) I have no way of testing it. The second patch extends the OS interface in ways that will break legacy implementations. A significant part of my income derives from people and companies who pay me to not do that. I could perhaps fix up either patch to do the right thing, but then I would have no way of testing the results, since I do not have access to WinCE. The above are some of the reasons that there has been so little movement on ticket #2023. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. Please do not let anything I say or do discourage you from contributing again to either SQLite or other open source projects. User contributions are very important to open source projects like SQLite and I want to encourage them. But you also need to understand that there is no guarantee that a patch will be accepted. With SQLite in particular, with me in the drivers seat, it is very very difficult to get a patch accepted into the core. It has been done, but it does not happen very often. Usually, if I implement a suggested feature at all, I merely use the patch as a guideline to implement my own changes. Do not let this discourage you. Your patch has been recorded in the bug tracking system, and I have studied it closely. It will be likely used as a reference someday. Just not today. -- D.
