Backpatch to 8.0.X which doesn't work right now.

lacking pqsignal which is now required. This was found and fixed for
VC++ by Shachar Shemesh, I simply duplicated the fix for the Borland
makefile (untested, as I don't have that compiler).

just stick a list-link into struct PGnotify instead.  Result is a smaller
faster and more robust library (mainly because we reduce the number of
malloc's and free's involved in notify processing), plus less pollution
of application link-symbol namespace.

will succeed.

ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY is supported by the makefile (but not by the
sources, which need some rework)

Currently, src/interfaces/libpq/win32.mak builds a statically-linked
library "libpq.lib", a debug dll "libpq.dll", import library for the
debug dll "libpqdll.lib", a release dll "libpq.dll", import library for
the release dll "libpqdll.lib".  To avoid naming clashes, I would make
the debug dll and import libraries "libpqd.dll" and "libpqddll.lib".

Basically, the debug build uses the cl flags: "/MDd /D _DEBUG", and the
release build uses the cl flags "/MD /D NDEBUG".  Usually the debug
build has a "D" suffix on the file name, so for example:

libpqd.dll     libpq, debug build
libpqd.lib     libpq, debug build, import library
libpq.dll      libpq, release build
libpq.lib      libpq, release build, import library

referring to "multibyte" where it really means character encoding.

.
So i took the opportunity to fix some stuff:

1. Made the thing compile (typos & needed definitions) with the new pqsecure_* s
tuff, and added fe-secure.c to the win32.mak makefile.
2. Fixed some MULTIBYTE compile errors (when building without MB support).
3. Made it do that you can build with debug info: "nmake -f win32.mak DEBUG=1".
4. Misc small compiler speedup changes.

The resulting .dll has been tested in production, and everything seems ok.
I CC:ed -hackers because i'm not sure about two things:

1. In libpq-int.h I typedef ssize_t as an int because Visual C (v6.0)
doesn't de fine ssize_t. Is that ok, or is there any standard about what
type should be use d for ssize_t?

2. To keep the .dll api consistent regarding MULTIBYTE I just return -1
in fe-connect.c:PQsetClientEncoding() instead of taking away the whole
function. I wonder if i should do any compares with the
conn->client_encoding and return 0 if not hing would have changed (if so
how do i check that?).

work on all win9x machines, so i made it go thru a l ookup table
instead, using the DLL as last resort.  I also moved this out of the
fe-misc.c file because of the size of the lookup ta ble. Who knows, we
might add more other win32 specific code there in the future.

I also fixed a small typo in the pg_config.h.win32 that made the
compiler compla in about the gnu snprintf declaration.

I tried to make this patch with psql coding style. I've successfully
tested this on win2k and win98 and it works fine (i.e. the mes sage
shows on win98 too, it didn't with the old implementation).

Multibyte mode.

backend files that it shouldn't anymore, causing compile failures.
Per report from Darko Prenosil.

and two 'win32.mak'. Addresses the following:

1) Oops. Spelled fcntl.h wrong in the last one. D'uh.
2) PG_VERSION changed to be defined with " around it. psql/command.c failed
to compile without that.
3) Changed makefiles to use "/MD" and link both psql and libpq.dll against
MSVCRT.DLL instead of a static library. This takes care of the
crash-upon-free in psql.

I *think* this is what is on the "Open 7.1 Items" list as "Magnus Hagander
ODBC Issues?". It has nothing to do with ODBC, but it's the only issue I've
been involved with...

error/notice message lengths, and number of fields per tuple.  Add
pqexpbuffer.c/.h, a frontend version of backend's stringinfo module.
This is first step in applying Mike Ansley's long-query patches,
even though he didn't do any of these particular changes...

missed before the release. It's simply a symbol that is undefined. This
patch defines this symbol in "win32.h", so it should have no effect on any
other platforms. It should go into 6.4.1 if possible, since compilation is
completely broken without it.

I am also attaching a patch for the "win32.mak" file - it leaves a file
behind when doing "make clean" after the library is built on Visual C++ 6.0.
This is not at all as urgent, but I don't see it breaking here, so I think
it might as well go in there too?

//Magnus

regression test on a FreeBSD box with both non-MULTIBYTE and
MULTIBYTE-enabled, and confirmed that the results are same.

However I do not tested on PCs(I don't have access to win). Please let
me know if the patches break anything on PCs.

Also please note that the patch for varchar.c is a fix for a nasty bug
of char(n) types that I introduced and I believe at least this should
be applied.

Here is a new patch for libpq, to make it work on Win32 again (since
the latest modifications broke it a little).

Please also add the file "libpq.rc" to the interfaces/libpq directory.
This will allow version-stamping of the generated DLL file, so that
automatic install programs (and interested users) can determine
the version of the file.  The file is currently set as "prerelease".
Before the release, somebody should change the line "FILEFLAGS
VS_FF_PRERELEASE" to "FILEFLAGS 0".  That information should probably
go into toos\RELEASE_CHANGES.

The patch is against the cvs as of ~ 1998-08-26 14:30 CEST.


//Magnus

Through some minor changes, I have been able to compile the libpq
client libraries on the Win32 platform. Since the libpq communications
part has been rewritten, this has become much easier. Enclosed is
a patch that will allow at least Microsoft Visual C++ to compile
libpq into both a static and a dynamic library.  I will take a look
at porting the psql frontend as well, but I figured it was a good
idea to send in these patches first - so no major changes are done
to the files before it gets applied (if it does).
