First, compile without optimization (-O0). Second, using LOAD to load the shared object before the function call may be of advantage. I would allow you to set breakpoints in the loaded object, for example. Just waiting for the code to crash and hoping to get a good backtrace isn't always a successful strategy. > 2. Should contribs exclusively use palloc/pfree? Yes (unless there are some wildly unusual memory allocation requirements). -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
