This removes workspace hack from all libs, not from any binaries. This does not change the behaviour of the hack. Running ``` cargo clean cargo build --release --bin proxy ``` Before this change took 5m16s. After this change took 3m3s. This is because this allows the build to be parallelisable much more.
This module contains utilities for working with PostgreSQL file formats. It's a collection of structs that are auto-generated from the PostgreSQL header files using bindgen, and Rust functions to read and manipulate them.
There are also a bunch of constants in pg_constants.rs that are copied
from various PostgreSQL headers, rather than auto-generated. They mostly
should be auto-generated too, but that's a TODO.
The PostgreSQL on-disk file format is not portable across different
CPU architectures and operating systems. It is also subject to change
in each major PostgreSQL version. Currently, this module supports
PostgreSQL v14, v15 and v16: bindings and code that depends on them are
version-specific.
This code is organized in modules postgres_ffi::v14, postgres_ffi::v15 and
postgres_ffi::v16. Version independent code is explicitly exported into
shared postgres_ffi.
TODO: Currently, there is also some code that deals with WAL records in pageserver/src/waldecoder.rs. That should be moved into this module. The rest of the codebase should not have intimate knowledge of PostgreSQL file formats or WAL layout, that knowledge should be encapsulated in this module.
