Thread: backtrace_functions emits trace for any elog

backtrace_functions emits trace for any elog

Hi,
I used backtrace_functions to debug one of my ideas and found its behavior counter-intuitive and contradictory to it
owndocs. I think the GUC is supposed to be used to dump backtrace only on elog(ERROR) (should it also be done for
higherlevels? not sure about this), but, in fact, it does that for any log-level. I have attached a patch that checks
log-levelbefore attaching backtrace. 

Regards,
Ilya

This would make the feature much less useful.  Better to change the docs.
