1. One common thing missed wherever handling for errno is added
is below check which is present in all existing cases where errno
is used (initdb.c, pg_resetxlog.c, ReadDir, ..)
#ifdef WIN32
/*
* This fix is in mingw cvs (runtime/mingwex/dirent.c rev 1.4), but not in
* released version
*/
if (GetLastError() == ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES)
errno = 0;
#endif
2.
! if (errno || closedir(chkdir) == -1) result = -1; /* some kind of I/O error? */
Is there a special need to check return value of closedir in this
function, as all other uses (initdb.c, pg_resetxlog.c, pgfnames.c)
of it in similar context doesn't check the same?
One thing I think for which this code needs change is to check
errno before closedir as is done in initdb.c or pg_resetxlog.c
