Actually, it looks to me like the patch is wrong specifically because
it does not do the right thing in the VPATH case.
Are you thinking about "failing if the folders are missing" as "not the
right thing in the VPATH case", or are you thinking about something else?
The point is that in VPATH you are running in a build tree, and should
copy the source files from the source tree, but *not* modify the source
tree. Thus, fetching relative to $srcdir but writing relative to .
is in fact the correct behavior.
Ah, I understand.
It is this part you don't like:
---8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<-----------
+ snprintf(destdir, MAXPGPATH, "%s/%s", abs_srcdir, dest);
<snip>
! snprintf(destfile, MAXPGPATH, "%s/%s.%s", destdir, prefix,
suffix);
---8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<-----------
Thanks for the guidance, I'll try come up with a better alternative.
Should outputdir be used instead of current working directory (cwd) if
it is set?
There has not previously been any complaint that pg_regress was broken
in this regard, so maybe you should take two steps back and explain what
problem you think needs fixing, rather than just dropping a patch on us.
I tried to explain it in the mail, but let me try again, this time
showing some code.
Here we stat <cwd>/input:
---8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<-----------
static void
convert_sourcefiles(void)
{
struct stat st;
int ret;
ret = stat("input", &st);
if (ret == 0 && S_ISDIR(st.st_mode))
convert_sourcefiles_in("input", "sql", "sql");
---8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<-----------
But if we have set srcdir, the directory we are stat'ing, is not the
same directory that we are reading the files from:
---8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<-----------
static void
convert_sourcefiles_in(char *source, char *dest, char *suffix)
<snip>
if (srcdir)
strcpy(abs_srcdir, srcdir);
else
strcpy(abs_srcdir, abs_builddir);
snprintf(indir, MAXPGPATH, "%s/%s", abs_srcdir, source);
names = pgfnames(indir);
---8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<-----------
So I wanted to provide a patch that ran stat on the folder that we were
reading the files from.
