Hi!
I am trying to create a C function for windows in Postgres compiling with VC++ 2008 Express Edition. I did this function for Linux without problem using gcc and tried to do the same in Windows but in Windows was imposible. The function compile fine but when I tried to run from Postgres it down the server in windows but in Linux the same function run perfect.

You haven't provided enough information for anyone to help you.

How are you compiling your function? Using pgxs, or some other way?

What's the full source code of the function?

Where does the server crash when it crashes? You might need to get a backtrace of the server crash to help you figure out why your function crashes it. See this documentation on getting a backtrace of a Pg backend under windows:

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Getting_a_stack_trace_of_a_running_PostgreSQL_backend_on_Windows


The function just try to get a string value and pass to postgres. Reading somebody told me that I need to compile the function using VC++ not gcc in Windows so I downloaded VC++ 2008 Express but I dont know what directives compilation I need as gcc in windows and Linux.

If you are using a standard binary distribution of PostgreSQL then yes, you should use Visual C++, preferably the same version of Visual C++ that was used for that version of PostgreSQL. Specify your version of Pg.

Ok.
This is the way that I compile. 
Linux this way works fine and I use the modules compiled. of course, Linux I compile from source and I use gcc.

C:\mingw\bin\gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv  -I "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/include/" -I "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/include/server" -I "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/include/server/port/win32" -DEXEC_BACKEND "-I C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/include/server/port/win32" -c pg2.c -o pg2.o
C:\mingw\bin\gcc  -shared -o pg_server_function.dll pg2.o -L "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\lib" -lpostgres

It is using gcc in windows version

This is the module that I want to compile

<code>
 #include "postgres.h"
#include "fmgr.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#include "libstd.h"

#ifdef PG_MODULE_MAGIC
PG_MODULE_MAGIC;
#endif


PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(pg_server_id);

Datum pg_server_id(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
   char mac[30];
   text *new_t = (text *) palloc(30);
   int32 arg = PG_GETARG_INT32(0);
//
  getmacwindows(mac);
//
  SET_VARSIZE(new_t, strlen(mac) + VARHDRSZ);
  memcpy(VARDATA(new_t),(text *)mac,strlen(mac));
  
  PG_RETURN_TEXT_P(new_t);
}

 

PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(pg_serverid);
Datum
pg_serverid(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{  float8 mac;
  int32   arg = PG_GETARG_INT32(0);
  //
  arg++;
   mac = getmacwindows2num();
  //
  PG_RETURN_FLOAT8(mac);
}               



PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(one);
Datum one(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{   
   int32   arg = PG_GETARG_INT32(0);
int32 x= ++arg; //mac2num();
//getmacwindows(mac);
   PG_RETURN_INT32(x);
}
</code>

The function is simple just get the mac address of the PC. Now, I am trying to use VC++ 2008 Express to compile this module but I dont know how to pass all these parameters using VC++

In this example is 8.3 but I tried with 9.0 too

This compile fine the problem at running timme this crash down my server..:(
Any help will be so apreciated.
