Re: [Firebird-devel] Porting Firebird

[Tagangout, A. <Abd...@me...>]

Hi Dmitry,
many thanks,
Can you make only one or two changes on this file so i can folow them? Or tell me where should i make this changes and to give the Y-valve only the remote provider?

sorry for this banal question, but what does mean remote-provider?  
Many thanks

   Listed in Makefile.libfbclient (Makefile.in.libfbclient).

   Most likely - yes if you know how to cross-compile at all (I don't).

> 3- when i search isc_attach_database i become many funktions on diverse folder, like gds_attach_database and REM_attach_database and so on, for a client library, is it necessary for firebird to pass the Functions Parameter over all this functions, or there is only one Function that make the attach-Command?

   Firebird architecture includes few modules, usually referenced as providers. Each provider exports the same API which differ only in function prefix because of POSIX linkage limitation. Prefix REM_ is for "remote" module. Modules are tried one-by-one by Y-valve (why.cpp) until one of them agree to accept connection. So, parameters must be passed only to isc_attach_database(), the rest will be called automatically.
   As I already said it is possible to bypass Y-valve and build client containing only "remote" provider, but for current codebase it requires quite a few modification (which is mostly copy-paste).
