and then fails with:

but I think the latter is more likely to be caused by

rather than this thread.

Commits

  1. In pg_log_generic(), be more paranoid about preserving errno.

  2. Make src/common/exec.c's error logging less ugly.

  3. Select appropriate PG_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE for recent NetBSD.

  4. Fix detection of the result type of strerror_r().

  5. Try another way to detect the result type of strerror_r().

  6. Clean up *printf macros to avoid conflict with format archetypes.

  7. Fix link failures due to snprintf/strerror changes.

  8. Implement %m in src/port/snprintf.c, and teach elog.c to rely on that.

  9. Always use our own versions of *printf().

  10. Incorporate strerror_r() into src/port/snprintf.c, too.

  11. Convert elog.c's useful_strerror() into a globally-used strerror wrapper.

  12. Revert "Distinguish printf-like functions that support %m from those that don't."

  13. Produce compiler errors if errno is referenced inside elog/ereport calls.

  14. Distinguish printf-like functions that support %m from those that don't.

  15. Fix unportable usage of printf("%m").

  16. Be more robust when strerror() doesn't give a useful result.
