On Windows, we use CMD.EXE to redirect the postmaster's stdout/stderr
into a log file. CMD.EXE will open that file with non-sharing-friendly
parameters, and the file will remain open for a short time after the
postmaster has removed postmaster.pid. This can result in an
ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION failure if we attempt to start a new postmaster
immediately with the same log file (e.g. during "pg_ctl restart").
This seems to explain intermittent buildfarm failures we've been seeing
on Windows machines.
To fix, just open and close the log file using our own pgwin32_open(),
which will wait if necessary to avoid the failure. (Perhaps someday
we should stop using CMD.EXE, but that would be a far more complex
patch, and it doesn't seem worth the trouble ... yet.)
Back-patch to v12. This only solves the problem when frontend fopen()
is redirected to pgwin32_fopen(), which has only been true since commit

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
