Yep... but Windows isn't Linux.

In particular, the distributions of PostgreSQL for Windows are compiled
using Microsoft Visual C++, not gcc. It is possible to use gcc (mingw)
to compile shared libraries that are compatible with programs compiled
with MSVC++ but I've generally found it simpler to just use MSVC++ to
compile libraries on Windows.

If you prefer to use mingw there's still usually no problem with that,
you'll just have to figure out why your function is crashing the server.
Things to try:

- Delete code until it stops crashing; or
- Get a backtrace of the server to see where it crashes and why.

See how I'm repeating "get a backtrace of the crash"? Check out the link
I sent in my last post for info on how to do it using windbg or vc++
express.
