I got problems when running gdb. In MINGW I run "postgres -D ... dbname". Then I run gdb, but the problem is: $ gdb GNU gdb 5.2.1 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(gdb) attach 4204 Attaching to process 4204 [Switching to thread 4204.0x1750] (gdb) dll-symbols libatomrtree.dll (gdb) break atomrtbuild (gdb) Cannot access memory at address 0x65dc2110 Probably the reason is, that the dll is not loaded yet? But what's the right way to set breakpoint into dll, which isn't loaded yet? And about the V1 convention - I got in the .c file: PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(atomrtbuild); Datum atomrtbuild(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) { Relation heap_rel = (Relation) PG_GETARG_POINTER(0); Relation index_rel = (Relation) PG_GETARG_POINTER(1); IndexInfo *indexInfo = (IndexInfo *) PG_GETARG_POINTER(2); Thanks, David Hoksza ________________________________ 20. března 2006, 23:20:12, napsal jste: TL> david.hoksza@xxxxxxxxx writes: >> Thanks for answering, it was a good guess, I really didn't mark it, >> but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem.
