Your patch has been added to the PostgreSQL unapplied patches list at:
http://candle.pha.pa.us/cgi-bin/pgpatches
I will try to apply it within the next 48 hours.
> The attached patch enables PostgreSQL CVS to build cleanly under Cygwin
> when built against readline 4.2. Specifically, it handles the deprecation
> of
>
> filename_completion_function()
>
> with preference for
>
> rl_filename_completion_function()
>
> Although, I was motivated by Cygwin support, IMO this patch is appropriate
> for all platforms. To quote from the readline source:
>
> #if 0
> /* Backwards compatibility (compat.c). These will go away sometime. */
> ...
> extern READLINE_EXPORT(char, *filename_completion_function) ...
> #endif
>
> Note that this patch is modeled after the one by Peter Eisentraut for
> completion_matches():
>
> http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/readline42.html
>
> I tested this patch under the following environments:
>
> Cygwin with readline 4.1
> Cygwin with readline 4.2
> Linux with readline 2.2.1
> Linux with readline 4.2
>
> and it behaved as expected.

> Thanks,
