My original code for initdb stripped the .exe suffix off the progname stored, in this snippet of code:
carg0 = xstrdup(argv[0]);
canonicalise_path(carg0); lastsep = strrchr(carg0, *'/'*);
progname = lastsep ? xstrdup(lastsep + 1) : carg0;#*if* *defined*(__CYGWIN__) || *defined*(WIN32)
*if* (strlen(progname) > 4 &&
(exe = progname + (strlen(progname) - 4)) &&
stricmp(exe, EXE) == 0)
{
//* strip .exe suffix, regardless of case *//
*exe = *'\0'*;
}
#*endif* //* defined(__CYGWIN__) || defined(WIN32) */
Somewhere along the way, probably when we moved to using a generalised get_progname(), that seems to have been lost. Not only is keeping the .exe suffix ugly, but it breaks the contrib installcheck regression tests on windows (hasn't anyone run these?)
A simple fix for this last problem would be to put some similar code to the above into psql, but something cleaner and applicable to all users of get_progname might be nicer.
Thoughts?
