I am experiencing problems with lo_write() (mostly), WRT to
life after a signal has been handled.
Socket I/O (read(2) for example) will return -1 and have errno = EINTR
if it was blocked reading, and a signal was handled successfully while
it was blocked. It appears that lo_write() should do something similar,
but doesn't in practice ...
If I clear errno=0 and then perform lo_write()s during which
time a signal is received and handled, lo_write() will return -1
indicating an error. However, upon checking the
errno vallue, it indicates that no error has occurred (errno=0).
However, if I set errno=EINTR prior to calling lo_write() each
time, the same -1 is returned (after a signal) but now the
errno = EINTR (as I had originally expected it should have been).
It appears that EINTR processing is not correct or is incomplete in
the libpq code. I have experienced similar weirdness in the
operation of lo_lseek().
Do I need to subsequently submit this as a bug somewhere?
Thanks, Warren.
