Thread: Re: C-procedure crashed in Postgres 8.3.3 when using 'text' variable (WinXP) - additional

 Hello.
 Thank you very much for your answer.
 I found an option "Configuration Properties\C/C++/General/Detect 64-bit Portability Issues". It was set to 'Yes'. I
madeit 'No'. 
 Now I don't get these warnings about 'type cast'.
 The result:
 1>Compiling...
 1>getstring.c
 1>d:\pgsql83\getstring\c_getstring.c(10) : warning C4273: 'Pg_magic_func' : inconsistent dll linkage

 But the function doesn't work as well.... :(

This should be a big red flag to you. It suggests that you have issues
with __declspec(dllimport) and __declspec(dllexport) annotations.

It looks like you are using a Microsoft Visual Studio compiler. If you
are using Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition you must modify the
project's preprocessor definitions to set the WIN32 macro, as 2005
Express Edition does not do so by default. See earlier discussion in the
archives from a few months ago.

Alternately, modify the definition of the default win32 project to set
the right macros, then create a new project.

This issue does NOT affect the full version, only the Express edition.
It also does not affect 2008 Express Edition. I've just reproduced it on
a clean install of Windows and the Express Edition.
