Hi folks. One of my co-workers came to me with a problem. I took a
look, and it does seem to be a problem. (But where? That is why I'm
turning to you...)
The C code below serves as an example. He is basically trying to
re-connect again to a "bad" database server. The "server" at
192.168.0.1, port 35000 doesn't exist.
The compile line is:
$ gcc -Wall mem_test.c mem_test -lpq
This test was done on a SuSE 9.2 (or 9.3) machine, and reproduced on a
FC3 machine.
Postgres linked in, is a 7.4.7 on the SuSE machine, 7.4.8 on the FC3
machine.
Is there a bug in the code? Are we assuming too much about the return
values of PQsetdbLogin?
Cheers,
