All such code deals with this global variable in one of three ways. Sometimes the same functions use it in more than one of these ways at the same time. First, sometimes it's an implicit argument to one or more functions being called in xlog.c or elsewhere, and must be set to the appropriate value before calling those functions lest they misbehave. In those cases, it is now passed as an explicit argument instead. Second, sometimes it's used to obtain the current timeline after the end of recovery, i.e. the timeline to which WAL is being written and flushed. Such code now calls GetWALInsertionTimeLine() or relies on the new out parameter added to GetFlushRecPtr(). Third, sometimes it's used during recovery to store the current replay timeline. That can change, so such code must generally update the value before each use. It can still do that, but must now use a local variable instead. The net effect of these changes is to reduce by a fair amount the amount of code that is directly accessing this global variable. That's good, because history has shown that we don't always think clearly about which timeline ID it's supposed to contain at any given point in time, or indeed, whether it has been or needs to be initialized at any given point in the code. Patch by me, reviewed and tested by Michael Paquier, Amul Sul, and Álvaro Herrera. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmobfAAqhfWa1kaFBBFvX+5CjM=7TE=n4r4Q1o2bjbGYBpA@mail.gmail.com |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
