+ if (conn->connhost != NULL &&
+ conn->connhost[conn->whichhost].type != CHT_HOST_ADDRESS)
return conn->connhost[conn->whichhost].host
I think that's still incorrect. If a connection string defines a
comma-separated list of host, and hostaddr is defined as well,
PQhost() would return the comma-separated list, not the IP of the host
it is connected to. Am I reading that incorrectly?
