Hi,

I found that the consume_xids function incorrectly advances XIDs as shown:

postgres=# select txid_current();
 txid_current
--------------
        746
(1 row)

postgres=# select consume_xids('100');
 consume_xids
--------------
        847
(1 row)

In the example, the consume_xids function consumes 100 XIDs when XID = 746, so the desired outcome from consume_xids should be 746 + 100 = 846, which differs from the actual outcome, 847.

Behavior inside a transaction block:

postgres=# select txid_current();
 txid_current
--------------
         1410
(1 row)

postgres=# begin;
BEGIN
postgres=*# select consume_xids('100');
 consume_xids
--------------
         1511
(1 row)
postgres=*# select consume_xids('100');
 consume_xids
--------------
         1521
(1 row)

Here, the first call inside the transaction block consumes 100+1 XIDs (incorrect), while the second call consumes exactly 100 XIDs (as expected)

Summary:

The function performs incorrectly when:
- Outside of a transaction block
- The first call inside a transaction block
But works correctly when:
- After the second call inside a transaction block

The issue arises because consume_xids does not correctly count the consumed XIDs when it calls the GetTopTransactionId function, which allocates a new XID when none has been assigned.

With the attached patch, the consume_xids works as expected, both inside and outside of transaction blocks as shown below:

postgres=# select txid_current();
 txid_current
--------------
         1546
(1 row)

postgres=# select consume_xids('100');
 consume_xids
--------------
         1646
(1 row)

postgres=# begin;
BEGIN
postgres=*# select consume_xids('100');
 consume_xids
--------------
         1746
(1 row)

postgres=*# select consume_xids('100');
 consume_xids
--------------
         1846
(1 row)

Yushi
