Okay, so the problem is this: by widening RelFileNumber to 64 bits,
you have increased the alignment requirement of struct RelFileLocator,
and thereby also SharedInvalidationMessage, to 8 bytes where it had
been 4. longfin's alignment check is therefore expecting that
xl_xact_twophase will likewise be 8-byte-aligned, but it isn't:
(lldb) p data
(char *) $0 = 0x00007fa06783a0a4 "\U00000001"
I'm not sure whether the code that generates commit WAL records is
breaking a contract it should maintain, or xactdesc.c needs to be
taught to not assume that this data is adequately aligned.
There is a second problem that I am going to hold your feet to the
fire about:
(lldb) p sizeof(SharedInvalidationMessage)
(unsigned long) $1 = 24
We have sweated a good deal for a long time to keep that struct
to 16 bytes. I do not think 50% bloat is acceptable.
