From 8e6b4ee21f486e6800aaa6955ff3d98e1a521b49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 10:09:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Don't trust CreateFileMapping() to clear the error code on success. We must test GetLastError() even when CreateFileMapping() returns a non-null handle. If that value were left over from some previous system call, we might be fooled into thinking the segment already existed. Experimentation on Windows 7 suggests that CreateFileMapping() clears the error code on success, but it is not documented to do so, so let's not rely on that happening in all Windows releases.
