I haven't posted it anywhere, but here is the 8.0 version. You'd build it something like this:
PGSQL=(location of PG source tree)
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-Wall -O -I $(PGSQL)/src/include
xlogdump: xlogdump.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o xlogdump xlogdump.c $(PGSQL)/src/backend/utils/hash/pg_crc.c
It needs improvement to understand more WAL record types, but what it does has been sufficient for my debugging needs
todate. Ideally someone would clean it up and make it into a contrib module so it could get into the source tree and
bemaintained properly ...
