That's not nmake; that's the compiler. The combination of "inline static"
sounds perfectly valid to me though--don't see why that would be a
problem. Perhaps it's a simple matter of "static inline" vs. "inline
static?"

That's odd... Are you compiling postgres as "managed code," by any
chance? That would explain runtime errors of this kind (which in C and
C++ should give you compile-time errors or just work), and it's also known
to cause lots of confusion and link errors with libpqxx.
The problem with "managed code" is that it's not really compatible with
C++, but this fact is apparently not made very obvious. From what I hear,
the code can look similar but it's not possible to link "managed C++" to
C++ DLLs. The situation with C may be similar.
