From f7ab802855200df5529a6e1e7b748d7926acace8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2018 12:38:10 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Remove pqsignal() from libpq's official exports list. Client applications should get this function, if they need it, from libpgport. The fact that it's exported from libpq is a hack left over from before we set up libpgport. It's never been documented, and there's no good reason for non-PG code to be calling it anyway, so hopefully this won't cause any problems. Moreover, with the previous setup it was not real clear whether our clients that use the function were getting it from libpgport or libpq, so this might actually prevent problems. The reason for changing it now is that in the wake of commit ea53100d5, some linkers won't export the symbol, apparently because it's coming from a .a library instead of a .o file. We could get around that by continuing to symlink pqsignal.c into libpq as before; but unless somebody complains very hard, I don't want to adopt such a kluge.
