couple weeks ago on the hackers and interfaces lists: 1. When the backend sends a NOTICE message and closes the connection (typically, because it was told to by the postmaster after another backend coredumped), libpq will now print the notice and close the connection cleanly. Formerly, the frontend app would usually terminate ungracefully due to a SIGPIPE. (I am not sure if 6.3.2 behaved that way, but the current cvs sources do...) 2. libpq's various printouts to stderr are now fed through a single "notice processor" routine, which can be overridden by the application to direct notices someplace else. This should ease porting libpq to Windows. I also noticed and fixed a problem in PQprint: when sending output to a pager subprocess, it would disable SIGPIPE in case the pager terminates early (this is good) --- but afterwards it reset SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL, rather than restoring the application's prior setting (bad). regards, tom lane |
