+#define verify_dir_is_empty_or_create(dirname, created, found) \ + verify_and_create_dir(dirname, created, found, false) This solution looks like a quick-and-dirty fix. I tend to prefer a solution close to whet Pierre is proposing on the other thread by localizing things in ReceiveAndUnpackTarFile(). This makes the check more localized, and there is no need to complicate low-level APIs of pg_basebackup.c. By the way, it may be better to keep discussions on the first thread created: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/05c62730-8670-4da6-b783-52e66fb42...@pinaraf.info A patch has been submitted to the next CF there as well. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
