In cleaning up the streaming part of pg_basebackup, I came across this
gem I copied from elsewherE:
/** We have to use postgres.h not postgres_fe.h here, because there's so much* backend-only stuff in the XLOG include
fileswe need. But we need a* frontend-ish environment otherwise. Hence this ugly hack.*/
#define FRONTEND 1
#include "postgres.h"
That's obviously quite ugly. I'm getting most defines out of
xlogdefs.h, which loads fine without that hack, but I'm also using the
XLogFileName() macro, which is in xlog_internal.h. The way I see it,
my options are:
1) keep doing wha tI do and include xlog_internal.h which defines it
2) redefine the macro locally (or just duplicate the code - it's only
one line after all, but it's more a matter of principle)
3) move the definition of the macro to some place that can be accessed
externally
thoughts?
