Thread: definition of CalculateMaxmumSafeLSN

Hello
I just spotted in src/include/access/xlog.h:
extern XLogRecPtr CalculateMaxmumSafeLSN(void);

This function doesn't seem to be used anywhere or even defined? "git grep CalculateMaxmumSafeLSN" shows only this
line.
Was added in c6550776394e25c1620bc8258427c8f1d448080d "Allow users to limit storage reserved by replication slots"

regards, Sergei

Hmm.  I think I remember of that name. You're right, it is a function
that was once added during development of the commit but eventually
gone.

So it should be removed.

+1 to remove. Although the change is straightforward, I attached the
patch just for the sake of convention. I've marked it as RfC
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/38/3616/.

Just for the record - there's another thread
