Hi,
When writing code which should be able to run inside and outside a normal
backend environment its sometimes useful to be able add a wrapper arround
elog/ereport for when executing inside the backend.
Currently that requires relatively ugly macro surgery and/or recompiling the
file. I suggest adding velog/vereport or elog_va/vereport_va to make such
wrappers easier (still not easy though).
The aim would be able to do something like:
#define my_elog \ elog_wrapper_start(__FILE__, __LINE__, PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO), \ elog_wrapper_finish
And then
void
elog_wrapper_finish(int elevel, const char *fmt, ..)
{ va_list args; va_start(args); velog(elevel, fmt, args); va_end(args);
}
when inside the backend
And something like:
void elog_wrapper_finish(int elevel, const char *fmt, ..)
{ va_list args; fprintf(stderr, "...", my_elog_file, my_elog_line, my_elog_func); va_start(args);
vfprintf(stderr,fprintf, args); va_end(args);
}
Comments? Better idea (please!)?
This would be easier if we had vararg macros, but I don't see me winning that
argument :P

Andres
