If not, take a look at its implementation and functions around,
GetInsertRecPtr() and others. I believe you will find all you need for
the task.Thank you for the response. I need the LSN of the last inserted by not
flushed WAL record. The function pg_current_wal_flush_lsn() doesn't help. It
returns the current flush position. GetInsertRecPtr() doesn't help as well
because it returns XLogCtl->LogwrtRqst.Write which is updated when the record
crosses page boundary. I looked at the code and haven't found any suitable
function except of GetLastImportantRecPtr() but it returns start LSN of the
last inserted important record (but I need end lsn).
I would propose a new function to fulfill my requirements like this (see below)
but I prefer not to create new functions unreasonably:
XLogRecPtr
GetXLogLastInsertEndRecPtr(void)
{
XLogCtlInsert *Insert = &XLogCtl->Insert;
uint64 current_bytepos;
SpinLockAcquire(&Insert->insertpos_lck);
current_bytepos = Insert->CurrBytePos;
SpinLockRelease(&Insert->insertpos_lck);
return XLogBytePosToEndRecPtr(current_bytepos);
}
This function differs from the existing GetXLogInsertRecPtr() by calling
XLogBytePosToEndRecPtr instead of XLogBytePosToRecPtr.
With best regards,
Vitaly
