Hello Julian,

Patch v3 applies, make check ok, feature tested on Linux, one small issue
found, see below.

Ok.

Ok.

No, you should not have done that, because it changes a feature which was
to warn *only* when the password was coming from file.

sh> touch dot_pass_empty sh> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./src/interfaces/libpq \ psql "dbname=test host=localhost user=test
pgpassfile=./dot_pass_empty"Password: BAD_PASSWORD_TYPED psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "test"
passwordretrieved from file "./dot_pass_empty"
The warning is wrong, the password was typed directly, not retrieved from
a file. The "dot_pgpass_used" boolean is still required to avoid that.
> 3. Going on, I renamed "dot_pg_pass_warning()" to "PGPassFileWarning()"
This makes sense, its name is not necessarily ".pgpass".
