I just looked at the patch briefly and I'm wondering if we could use the existing GetTempPath[A/W] as another fallback directory?
The way I see it is, we are migrating from a hybrid Windows/Cygwin mode toward a purer POSIX style. Eventually, I want Cygwin SQLite to behave just like SQLite on any Linux variant, except that it happens to still interoperate well with native Windows programs.
Also, is "cygwin_conv_path" superior to "cygwin_conv_to_win32_path" in some way?
It reflects an API change between Cygwin 1.5 and Cygwin 1.7. The old API still exists -- if it didn't, we'd be calling it Cygwin 2.x -- but you get a deprecation warning from the compiler if you call it. The new API is 100% equivalent, it just offers a more flexible API.
I've posted this patch here twice before, but since upstream hasn't accepted it, I keep patching Cygwin SQLite. I guess I should try posting it to sqlite-devel. I believe when I first developed the patch, that list was closed to "outsiders" like me. Now that I've got patching it in down as part of the normal build procedure, I haven't bothered reposting it until now.
