2020-10-21Remove obsolete ifdefsPeter Eisentraut
Commit 8dace66e0735ca39b779922d02c24ea2686e6521 added #ifdefs for a number of errno symbols because they were not present on Windows. Later, commit 125ad539a275db5ab8f4647828b80a16d02eabd2 added replacement #defines for some of those symbols. So some of the changes from the first commit are made dead code by the second commit and can now be removed.

2020-10-10Recognize network-failure errnos as indicating hard connection loss.Tom Lane
Up to now, only ECONNRESET (and EPIPE, in most but not quite all places) received special treatment in our error handling logic. This patch changes things so that related error codes such as ECONNABORTED are also recognized as indicating that the connection's dead and unlikely to come back. We continue to think, however, that only ECONNRESET and EPIPE should be reported as probable server crashes; the other cases indicate network connectivity problems but prove little about the server's state. Thus, there's no change in the error message texts that are output for such cases. The key practical effect is that errcode_for_socket_access() will report ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE rather than ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR for a network failure. It's expected that this will fix buildfarm member lorikeet's failures since commit 32a9c0bdf, as that seems to be due to not treating ECONNABORTED equivalently to ECONNRESET. The set of errnos treated this way now includes ECONNABORTED, EHOSTDOWN, EHOSTUNREACH, ENETDOWN, ENETRESET, and ENETUNREACH. Several of these were second-class citizens in terms of their handling in places like get_errno_symbol(), so upgrade the infrastructure where necessary. As committed, this patch assumes that all these symbols are defined everywhere. POSIX specifies all of them except EHOSTDOWN, but that seems to exist on all platforms of interest; we'll see what the buildfarm says about that. Probably this should be back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm thinks of it first. Fujii Masao and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2621622.1602184554@sss.pgh.pa.us

2018-09-26Incorporate strerror_r() into src/port/snprintf.c, too.Tom Lane
This provides the features that used to exist in useful_strerror() for users of strerror_r(), too. Also, standardize on the GNU convention that strerror_r returns a char pointer that may not be NULL. I notice that libpq's win32.c contains a variant version of strerror_r that probably ought to be folded into strerror.c. But lacking a Windows environment, I should leave that to somebody else.

2018-09-26Convert elog.c's useful_strerror() into a globally-used strerror wrapper.Tom Lane
elog.c has long had a private strerror wrapper that handles assorted possible failures or deficiencies of the platform's strerror. On Windows, it also knows how to translate Winsock error codes, which the native strerror does not. Move all this code into src/port/strerror.c and define strerror() as a macro that invokes it, so that both our frontend and backend code will have all of this behavior. I believe this constitutes an actual bug fix on Windows, since AFAICS our frontend code did not report Winsock error codes properly before this. However, the main point is to lay the groundwork for implementing %m in src/port/snprintf.c: the behavior we want %m to have is this one, not the native strerror's. Note that this throws away the prior use of src/port/strerror.c, which was to implement strerror() on platforms lacking it. That's been dead code for nigh twenty years now, since strerror() was already required by C89. We should likewise cause strerror_r to use this behavior, but I'll tackle that separately.

2010-09-20Remove cvs keywords from all files.Magnus Hagander
2005-07-28Fix a whole bunch of #includes that were either wrong or redundant.Tom Lane
The first rule of portability for us is 'thou shalt have no other gods before c.h', and a whole lot of these files were either not including c.h at all, or including random system headers beforehand, either of which sins can mess up largefile support nicely. Once you have included c.h, there is no need to re-include what it includes, either.
