This patch implements the protocol Tom suggested for writing to the
syslogger pipe. It seems to pass my tests (basically "make
installcheck" against a server with stderr redirection turned on and
log_statement set to 'all').
I didn't like this patch much --- it broke the API of
write_syslogger_file, which is supposed to just write what it's given
(and it is used from outside syslogger.c with that expectation). Also
the way it slung unconsumed data back and forth between two buffers
seemed both confusing and inefficient. Here's a revised version.
Well. it was like the curate's egg :-) Anyway, thanks for the cleanup.
In my testing, I found that a standard "make installcheck" run produces
only one message large enough to be split (the "infinite_recurse" thing
in errors.sql), so this is definitely not a Good Enough test. Maybe
we could get Ed L. or one of the other complainants to try it.
Yeah, what I did was to wind back the chunk size - try 128 and you'll
see plenty of chunked messages :-) But we really need to do this with
installcheck-parallel to exercise it properly.
(The
patch seems to need some adjustment to apply against 8.2, though.)
I know we normally try not to do this, but I'd be happy to wait for the
back branches in this case.
cheers
