Yeah, I intended not to add access/transam.h here and instead forward-declare FullTransactionId, but forgot to actually remove it before pushing. So +1 for what you're doing here with that. Same with relcache.h and most of the other changes you're doing here. I don't think the removal of pg_list.h works terribly well though, as that is something that I would expect to be pretty much everywhere, so it seems somewhat pointless to try to avoid it in this file. I'm not very sure what to do about LogicalRepWorkerType ... will follow-up to Amit's reply. I think we should in addition remove some includes that were kept during recent IWYU hacking "for backwards compatibility", and instead include them explicitly wherever they are needed. The attached does that. -- Álvaro Herrera 48°01'N 7°57'E — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "You're _really_ hosed if the person doing the hiring doesn't understand relational systems: you end up with a whole raft of programmers, none of whom has had a Date with the clue stick."
