- elog(LOG, "getsockname() failed: %m");
+ ereport(LOG,
+ (errmsg("getsockname() failed: %m")));
FWIW, I disagree with the approach taken by eb93f3a. As of HEAD, it
is now required to translate all those strings. I think that it would
have been better to remove the function names from all those error
messages and not require the same pattern to be translated N times.
