status?

From
Andrew Dunstan
Date:
what is the status of these items on the to list for w32?:

# Create new backends using CreateProcess()

    * Allow Unix to use fork()/exec() rather than just fork, enabled
      with EXEC_BACKEND (needed for easy testing)

    * Use CreateProcess()

# Add Win32 signal code
# Enable/test spinlocks
# Test existing shared memory/semaphore code
# If singals aren't enabled on backend startup, handle lost signals for
config file changes

If nobody is working on them I will put up my hand for one or two, but I
don't want to duplicate work somebody else is doing.

cheers

Did your initdb/signals patch get accepted or is that still an open
item?

I have finished work on rewriting initdb in C - see
http://www.dunslane.net/~andrew/Initdb_In_C.html . I guess Bruce will
merge it when he gets time (presumably after this release is wrapped up).

This wasn't so much a patch as a complete re-implementation from scratch
- signal handling was just a very small part of it.

But it can't really be thoroughly tested on W32 until we have a working
backend - I am assuming at that stage some tweaks will be required.

cheers
