Gee. My code corrupting memory. Like that's never happened before ;-) I just had to ask though since I'm not seeing other signs right now. > You mention pooling so I suppose this is a multi-threaded application > ... are you being careful not to let any two threads try to use the same > libpq PGconn at the same time? libpq itself does not contain any > locking that would make that safe, you need to provide the locking > yourself. I have a queue of pgconns. When a thread needs one it pops it off the queue, and when it's done it pushes the pgconn back on, wrapped by a stack-allocated class whose constructor and destructor take care of acquiring and releasing the pgconn. The queue is a Mac OS thing, not my code, so it's not a problem with sharing them, unfortunately. So I'll have to keep looking for memory-munging bugs. -- Scott Ribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
