Yes. The patch has a small temporary adjustment to BaseBackupGetTargetHandle() to comment out the return. It compiles for me using Visual Studio 2022 without any warnings. If I remove the macro change, I get: [598/2255] Compiling C object src/backend/postgres_lib.a.p/backup_basebackup_target.c.obj src\backend\backup\basebackup_target.c(150) : warning C4715: 'BaseBackupGetTargetHandle': not all control paths return a value David
