Note that even in the absence of a rebased patch, you can apply to an older checkout if you have some limited window of time for a review. Looking over the diff, I find that this patch tries to do too much and needs to be split up. At a minimum there is a preliminary patch that introduces the error reporting stuff (errstart etc); there are other thread-related changes (for example to the random generation functions) that probably belong in a separate one too. Not sure if there are other smaller patches hidden inside the rest. On elog/errstart: we already have a convention for what ereport() calls look like; I suggest to use that instead of inventing your own. With that, is there a need for elog()? In the backend we have it because $HISTORY but there's no need for that here -- I propose to lose elog() and use only ereport everywhere. Also, I don't see that you need errmsg_internal() at all; let's lose it too. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
