Simple test to reproduce:
Change the module path for any extension as below, like I have done
for amcheck and then copy the .so file at $libdir/test/ folder.
module_pathname = '$libdir/test/amcheck'
While creating the extension it fail to load the file because, after
commit f777d773878 we remove the $libdir from the path[1] and later in
expand_dynamic_library_name() since there is a '/' in remaining path
we will call full = substitute_path_macro(name, "$libdir",
pkglib_path); to generate the full path by substituting the "$libdir"
macro[2]. But we have already removed $libdir from the filename, so
there will be no substitution and it will just search the
'test/amcheck' path, which was not intended.
IMHO the fix should be that we need to preserve the original name as
well, and in the else case we should pass the original name which is
'$libdir/test/amcheck' in this case so that macro substitution can
work properly?
[1]
+ if (strncmp(filename, "$libdir/", 8) == 0)
+ filename += 8;
[2]
if (!have_slash)
{
full = find_in_path(name, Dynamic_library_path,
"dynamic_library_path", "$libdir", pkglib_path);
if (full)
return full;
}
else
{
full = substitute_path_macro(name, "$libdir", pkglib_path);
if (pg_file_exists(full))
return full;
pfree(full
