But on Cygwin, WIN32 is only defined if windows.h has been included (See
previous discussion - I recall advocating NOT using WIN32 as a marker for
just this reason).



Urgh ... so it's only because windows.h isn't included till later that
it works properly.



It's a lot more subtle than that :-( . In most cases we end up including windows.h _only_ if WIN32 is already defined, as it is for us by the compiler on MinGW.


see: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-09/msg00206.php and http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-09/msg00256.php

w.r.t. Cygwin / unix sockets, the test is in port/cygwin.h, and says:

#if CYGWIN_VERSION_DLL_MAJOR < 1001
#undef HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS
#endif

I don't know how old that is.

I'm not sure that we need the code in pg_config_manual.h anymore anyway
--- the configure test should be covering this. But just before release
is no time to be fooling with such things.



agreed.

I did add cygwin to the unix_socket=no case in pg_regress, and I'm
inclined to leave it that way because it's really the minimal change
from the script's previous behavior on cygwin.  Do you see a strong
reason for undoing that?





Well, nothing seems broken - see buildfarm. And if it ain't broke .../

cheers
