Not sure about + * All methods that have a failure path will set errno on failure. Given that you've got a getlasterror method, I don't think that's really the API invariant is it? If it were, you'd just have the callers doing strerror(errno) for themselves. I think maybe a more accurate statement would be * All methods that have a failure return indicator will set state * allowing the getlasterror() method to return a suitable message. * Commonly, errno is this state (or part of it); so callers must take * care not to clobber errno between a failed method call and use of * getlasterror() to retrieve the message. Also: * the arguments of open_for_write() could stand to be explained * what's the return value of finish()? * wouldn't it be better to declare getlasterror() as returning "const char *"? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
