Use printf's %m format instead of strerror(errno) in more places
Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz>
Use printf's %m format instead of strerror(errno) in more places Most callers of strerror() are removed from the backend code. The remaining callers require special handling with a saved errno from a previous system call. The frontend code still needs strerror() where error states need to be handled outside of fprintf. Note that pg_regress is not changed to use %m as the TAP output may clobber errno, since those functions call fprintf() and friends before evaluating the format string. Support for %m in src/port/snprintf.c has been added in d6c55de1f99a, hence all the stable branches currently supported include it.
