Thread: beta2 no longer builds with MSVC?

Has anybody tried building beta2 or later with MSVC? It doesn'ät work for me - it builds fine, but whenever I run with
itI get a coredump from it whenever I try to connect. 

If I revert it to the 8.0 version of port/getaddrinfo.c, things work again.

The problem shows itself in that conn->addr_cur->ai_addr is NULL when it reaches the "CONNECTION_NEEDED" branch in
PQconnectPoll().


Compiling with MingW appears to work fine.

Strange.  Would you try this patch and see if it helps?  It disables the
lookups to call the Win32-native getaddrinfo routines.

(I know you are busy so maybe someone else can test MSVC.)

Another posssible fix would be to do a 'continue' in the loop if
conn->addr_cur->ai_addr is NULL, and see if that works.
