Great, I'm looking forward to this! One of the bugs recently
discovered was the handling of absolute paths in Cygwin. E.g.
when loading an extension
<http://osdir.com/ml/sqlite-users/2014-02/msg00515.html>
or when using "pragma database_list"
<http://osdir.com/ml/sqlite-users/2014-02/msg00431.html>
I don't think today's attempt in fixing this is a good idea:
<http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/29b0a4f158>
Although it fixes the loading of extensions on Cygwin when
using absolute paths, it breaks it when using relative
paths (bare filenames are NOT expected to be found in
the current directory). My recommendation would be to
revert this, and - after the SQLite 3.8.4 release - start
handling that. So short before a new release it is more
risk than that it really helps. The Cygwin package of
3.8.4 will contain another (better IMHO) fix anyway.
There is no hurry in applying whatever fix upstream.
The MinGW 4.x enhancements works great!
Thanks!
