Upon review, I don't think these patches are very good at all. #defining errno as WSAGetLastError() is a fairly blunt instrument, and it breaks all the places that do actually need to use errno, such as PQoidValue, lo_import, lo_export. I'm also concerned that PQrequestCancel may need to save/restore both errno and WSAGetLastError() in order to be safe for use in a signal handler. Is errno a plain variable on WIN32, or is it a macro? If the former, we could hack around this problem by doing #if WIN32 #undef errno #endif ... #if WIN32 #define errno WSAGetLastError() #endif around the routines that need to access the real errno. While ugly, this probably beats the alternative of ifdef'ing all the places that do need to access the WSA error code. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
