information Windows - PostgreSQL

Not sure. We are petty deep in the backend code allowing CreateProcess
and then we need to add signal handling. We don't have anything running
yet.

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.

TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Peer Directs relied on Visual C C++ code to handle it, and it didn't
look pretty. I am not sure how hard it is going to be to get that
working properly.

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.

I actuallly don't even know the answer. 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.
