Funny enough, in other places in Cygwin we call this temp variable
"save_errno" :)


Alternatively, since you're in C++ code, you can use the save_errno
class, like this:

  {
    save_errno save;

    [do your thing]
  }

The destructor of save_errno will restore errno.

Since the code as such is fine, it's your choice if you want to stick
to it or use one of the above.  Just give the word.


Thanks,
Corinna
