pg_ftruncate hardcodes length=0 but only under windows - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

57faaf376 added pg_truncate(const char *path, off_t length), but
"length" is ignored under WIN32 and the file is unconditionally
truncated to 0.

There's no live bug, since the only caller passes 0:

| src/backend/storage/smgr/md.c:  ret = pg_truncate(path, 0);

But I guess extension users could be unhappy under win32, so maybe a fix
should be backpatched.
