This means that the page must be read first, before recalculating the
record pointer to be the first one after the page header. This is done
a little bit after in ReadRecord(): pageHeaderSize = XLogPageHeaderSize((XLogPageHeader) readBuf); targetRecOff =
RecPtr->xrecoff% XLOG_BLCKSZ; if (targetRecOff == 0) { /* * At page start, so skip over page header.
TheAssert checks that * we're not scribbling on caller's record pointer; it's OK because we * can only

otherwise. */ Assert(RecPtr == &tmpRecPtr); RecPtr->xrecoff += pageHeaderSize; targetRecOff =
pageHeaderSize; }
And XLogPageHeaderSize() makes the difference between a long a short header.
