Great, thanks! I have pushed this to all branches since 9.4. Would you
please give it a look? Please let me know if you find any problems
(particularly since you seem to have a test rig to verify it on
corrupted files).
I noticed that with this patch we no longer use WRITE_ERROR_EXIT in
certain cases but instead do the printing/exiting directly. I think
that's fine, but it would be neater to improve the WRITE_ERROR_EXIT
macro so that it takes the cfp as an argument, and then the macro is in
charge of calling get_cfp_error. But then I noticed that it wasn't very
easy to improve things that way. I also noticed that the usage of mixed
compressed/uncompressed file pointers in pg_dump is not very consistent,
and it would take rather a lot of effort to clean up. So I gave up for
now, particularly as a backpatchable bugfix. If you're interested in
mop-up work, I think we can improve pg_dump some more there.
At least, I think most common cases should correctly report any zlib
problems now. Thanks for the patch!
