I am seeing conflicting usage of PG_BINARY_R and "r" in AllocateFile()
calls. Is there a logic of when to use one or the other, or is this
just badly maintained code?
The significant difference is:
#ifdef __CYGWIN__
#define PG_BINARY O_BINARY
#define PG_BINARY_R "rb"
#define PG_BINARY_W "wb"
#else
#define PG_BINARY 0
#define PG_BINARY_R "r"
#define PG_BINARY_W "w"
#endif
For example, in 7.2 I see pg_hba.conf opened with "r" and pg_ident.conf
opened with PG_BINARY_R.
My assumption is that text files should use "r" and binary files use
PG_BINARY_R.
