AFAICT all other callers of this API are throwing an error with pg_fatal, and so does the function in question for ZStd decompression errors. If we handle the case of fread() returning 0 to indicate an error like the below *untested sketch* (with a better error message) this function is fully API compliant as well. /* If we have no more input to consume, we're done */ if (cnt == 0) + { + if (ferror(unconstify(void *, input->src))) + pg_fatal("could not read data to decompress: %m"); + break; + } If this seems like a good approach then Zstd_getc can be simplified as well as it no longer needs to call ferror, it still needs to check feof though. -- Daniel Gustafsson
