Previously pgwin32_is_service() would falsely return true when
postgres is started from somewhere within a service, but not as a
service. That is e.g. always the case with windows docker containers,
which some CI services use to run windows tests in.

In addition to this change, it likely would be a good idea to have
pg_ctl runservice pass down a flag indicating that postgres is running
as a service.

* [PATCH v2] windows: Only consider us to be running as service if stderr is invalid.

Previously pgwin32_is_service() would falsely return true when
postgres is started from somewhere within a service, but not as a
service. That is e.g. always the case with windows docker containers,
which some CI services use to run windows tests in.

In addition to this change, it likely would be a good idea to have
pg_ctl runservice pass down a flag indicating that postgres is running
as a service.

* [PATCH v2] windows: Only consider us to be running as service if stderr is invalid.

Previously pgwin32_is_service() would falsely return true when
postgres is started from somewhere within a service, but not as a
service. That is e.g. always the case with windows docker containers,
which some CI services use to run windows tests in.

In addition to this change, it likely would be a good idea to have
pg_ctl runservice pass down a flag indicating that postgres is running
as a service.

* [PATCH v2] windows: Only consider us to be running as service if stderr is invalid.

Previously pgwin32_is_service() would falsely return true when
postgres is started from somewhere within a service, but not as a
service. That is e.g. always the case with windows docker containers,
which some CI services use to run windows tests in.

In addition to this change, it likely would be a good idea to have
pg_ctl runservice pass down a flag indicating that postgres is running
as a service.

* [PATCH v2] windows: Only consider us to be running as service if stderr is invalid.

Previously pgwin32_is_service() would falsely return true when
postgres is started from somewhere within a service, but not as a
service. That is e.g. always the case with windows docker containers,
which some CI services use to run windows tests in.

In addition to this change, it likely would be a good idea to have
pg_ctl runservice pass down a flag indicating that postgres is running
as a service.

Hi Fujii-san,

Good catch!

> Attached patch fixes this issue.

I am not 100% sure that it is a good idea to use the same error
message "could not send cancel request" for the PQgetCancel() and
PQcancel() cases, because they are different functions.  How about
"could not create PGcancel structure” or something like that, for the
former case, so we can distinguish the former error from the latter?

Best regards,
Etsuro Fujita
