native win32 version

Hi,

sometime ago I heard that there will be a native win32 version of
postgresql 7.4.
Is this true or will there only be a cygwin version like now?

What do you think, how stable and fast is the cygwin version?

Best regards,
Christian

The native win32 port has been pushed back from 7.4 into (hopefully)
7.5, but cygwin version will still be available as always.

Well, some people do run in in production using the cygwin version, so
it is stable enough and fast enough for some folks. I don't think you'll
ever see a recommendation from the development group to run postgresql
on windows over a *nix OS for production purposes (even when native
win32 comes about, theres just too much lacking in windows) however for
development purposes it should be more than fine.

I'm looking at "TODO list for PostgreSQL" and "Fix upper()/lower() to work for multibyte encodings" has no dash (-) -- so it won't be made in 7.5 ? Another question is about WIN32 native release - currently, all win users cannot set locales, becouse Cygwin does not support it -- I hope that it will be solved in native release, so UTF-8 should work as well ?? Just wanted to know how to plan my further work. Thanks.

I've got an application that uses Pthread to do threading. Mostly Im using Condition Variables and the associated function calls: - pthread_cond_wait() - pthread_cond_signal() - pthread_cond_broadcast() My boss says we cant use Pthread because of licensing issues (LGPL) .. we can only use Native Win32 threading/mutex functions.

I'm still trying to figure out some of the nuances of access to legacy Win32 DLLs. I need to alloc buffers to be used by the Win32 DLLs. I know that pinning a managed pointer can lead to framentation, but I don't see an alternative. Is there an easy way to generate a call to native malloc()? Doesn't this also fragment memory? (I'll be using C++/CLI, if that matters)

I understand that VS.NET is supposed to compile native Win32 apps that do not require the .Net runtime. If that's the case then there is something else from the VS200x package that is required. MSVCR80.DLL and MSVCR80D.DLL are present and accounted for in Windows\System32. This is something else. Message says that the application configuration is incorrect. I just compiled a simple "Hello.cpp" app that exhibits the same behavior so...
