The previous design for this had copyFile(), linkFile(), and rewriteVisibilityMap() returning strerror strings, with the caller producing one-size-fits-all error messages based on that. This made it impossible to produce messages that described the failures with any degree of precision, especially not short-read problems since those don't set errno at all. Since pg_upgrade has no intention of continuing after any error in this area, let's fix this by just letting these functions call pg_fatal() for themselves, making it easy for each point of failure to have a suitable error message. Taking this approach also allows dropping cleanup code that was unnecessary and was often rather sloppy about preserving errno. To not lose relevant info that was reported before, pass in the schema name and table name of the current table so that they can be included in the error reports. An additional problem was the use of getErrorText(), which was flat out wrong for all but a couple of call sites, because it unconditionally did "_dosmaperr(GetLastError())" on Windows. That's only appropriate when reporting an error from a Windows-native API, which only a couple of the callers were actually doing. Thus, even the reported strerror string would be unrelated to the actual failure in many cases on Windows. To fix, get rid of getErrorText() altogether, and just have call sites do strerror(errno) instead, since that's the way all the rest of our frontend programs do it. Add back the _dosmaperr() calls in the two places where that's actually appropriate. In passing, make assorted messages hew more closely to project style guidelines, notably by removing initial capitals in not-complete-sentence primary error messages. (I didn't make any effort to clean up places I didn't have another reason to touch, though.) Per discussion of a report from Thomas Kellerer. Back-patch to 9.6, but no further; given the relative infrequency of reports of problems here, it's not clear it's worth adapting the patch to older branches. Patch by me, but with credit to Alvaro Herrera for spotting the issue with getErrorText's misuse of _dosmaperr(). Discussion: <nsjrbh$8li$1@blaine.gmane.org> |

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: http://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 http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
