I have noticed that this commit produces a warning when building with
MSVC, as of the end of BaseBackupGetTargetHandle() when the target
cannot be found. I guess that you'd better add a fake return NULL to
keep such compilers quiet about that, like that:
+++ b/src/backend/replication/basebackup_target.c
@@ -144,6 +144,9 @@ BaseBackupGetTargetHandle(char *target, char *target_detail)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
errmsg("unrecognized target: \"%s\"", target)));
+
+ /* keep compiler quiet */
+ return NULL;
}
Thanks,
