We use Valgrind --together with the suppression file provided in

We replace /bin/postgres executable with a simple bash script that
executes the original postgres executable under Valgrind and then we run
our usual regression tests.
However, it is quite hard to understand which query caused a memory
error in the stack traces that has been dumped into valgrind logfile.
For this reason, we propose the attached patch to allow Valgrind to
report the query string that caused a memory error right after the
relevant stack trace.
I belive this would not only be useful for Citus but also for Postgres
and other extensions in their valgrind-testing process.
I can see how this could be useful. But this only handles queries using
the simple protocol. At least the extended protocol should be handled
as well. Maybe it would be better to move this up to PostgresMain() and
handle all protocol messages?
