Hello Hackers!
Is it possible to get the current virtual txid from C somehow?
I've looked through the code, but can't seem to find anything other than getting a NULL when there is no (real) xid assigned. Maybe I'm missing something?
Cheers,
James
Virtual xid is meaningful only inside a read-only transaction.
It’s made up of MyProc->BackendId and MyProc->LocalTransactionId.
To catch it, you can begin a transaction, but don’t exec sqls that could change the db.
And gdb on process to see( must exec a read only sql to call StartTransaction, else MyProc->lxid is not assigned).
```
Begin;
// do nothing
```
gdb on it and see
```
p MyProc->lxid
p MyProc->backendId
```
