Hi Michael, thanks for your answer.
Test 041_checkpoint_at_promote.pl is really good example
of using injection points, but anyway, I still don't see
how injection points can help us here. In failed test case
we started postgres, immediately open psql connection and commit
prepared transaction. Postgres, on start, before accepting
connections, fork checkpointer and checkpointer initialize
shared parameter sync_standbys_defined in CheckpointerMain,
before process loop. So, in most attempts, we can't call
injection_points_attach in psql before
macro INJECTION_POINT() code will be executed in
checkpointer(I mean INJECTION_POINT() code instead sleep()),
bacause checkpointer process is forking before database
system is ready to accept connections.
The manual execution of checkpoint can't help us too.
P.S.
sorry for style errors, I am new in postgres, so can miss
some rules. Anyway, to avoid any community rules mistakes,
attached patch with correct naming.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Maksim Melnikov
