Thanks. Some other little things I noticed while poking around in this area:
Callers of _mdgetseg(EXTENSION_RETURN_NULL) expect errno to be set if
it returns NULL, and it expects the same of
mdopen(EXTERNSION_RETURN_NULL), and yet the latter does:
fd = PathNameOpenFile(path, O_RDWR | PG_BINARY);
if (fd < 0)
{
if ((behavior & EXTENSION_RETURN_NULL) &&
FILE_POSSIBLY_DELETED(errno))
{
pfree(path);
return NULL;
}
1. I guess that needs save_errno treatment to protect it from being
clobbered by pfree()?
2. It'd be nice if function documentation explicitly said which
functions set errno on error (and perhaps which syscalls).
3. Why does some code use "file < 0" and other code "file <= 0" to
detect errors from fd.c functions that return File?
