I started out with the idea that we needed to detect use of %m format specs in contexts other than elog/ereport calls, because we couldn't rely on that working in *printf calls. But a better answer is to fix things so that it does work. Now that we're using snprintf.c all the time, we can implement %m in that and we've fixed the problem. This requires also adjusting our various printf-wrapping functions so that they ensure "errno" is preserved when they call snprintf.c. Remove elog.c's handmade implementation of %m, and let it rely on snprintf to support the feature. That should provide some performance gain, though I've not attempted to measure it. There are a lot of places where we could now simplify 'printf("%s", strerror(errno))' into 'printf("%m")', but I'm not in any big hurry to make that happen.

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/.
