OK, my fault, in the docs:

"After it is used for the first time, a dynamically loaded object file is retained in memory. Future calls in the same session to the function(s) in that file will only incur the small overhead of a symbol table lookup. If you need to force a reload of an object file, for example after recompiling it, begin a fresh session."

So this works for testing:
psql -U fts -c "select plpgsql_test('abc');"

Hi,

I seem to be having trouble recreating C functions, the source:

=== test.c ====
#include <postgres.h>
#include <fmgr.h>

PG_MODULE_MAGIC;

int32 plpgsql_test(text* s) {
   return 100;
}
=== end ===

Then compile:
$ cc -fpic -c -I/usr/include/pgsql/server test.c
$ ld -shared -o funcs.so test.o

Then create the function:
CREATE FUNCTION plpgsql_test(text) RETURNS integer
    AS '/storage/Scripts/plpgsql/funcs', 'plpgsql_test'
    LANGUAGE C STRICT IMMUTABLE;

So far it works:
select plpgsql_test('abc');
100

The problem is if I change test.c like:
return 200;

Then recompile, drop and create the function it still returns 100? However if I compile it as funcs2.so it will then create the function with the correct 200 result ... what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Elliot
