Since commit 7627b91cd5d, libpq has used FD_CLOEXEC so that sockets wouldn't be leaked to subprograms. With enough bad luck, a multi-threaded program might fork in between the socket() and fcntl() calls. We can close that tiny gap by using SOCK_CLOEXEC instead of a separate call. While here, we might as well do the same for SOCK_NONBLOCK, to save another syscall. These flags are expected to appear in the next revision of the POSIX standard, specifically to address this problem. Our Unixoid targets except macOS and AIX have had them for a long time, and macOS would hopefully use guarded availability to roll them out, so it seems enough to use a simple ifdef test for availability until we hear otherwise. Windows doesn't have them, but has non-inheritable sockets by default. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BhUKGKb6FsAdQWcRL35KJsftv%2B9zXqQbzwkfRf1i0J2e57%2BhQ%40mail.gmail.com
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/.
