workspace_hack is needed to avoid recompilation when different crates inside the workspace depend on the same packages but with different features being enabled. Problem occurs when you build crates separately one by one. So this is irrelevant to our CI setup because there we build all binaries at once, but it may be relevant for local development. this also changes cargo's resolver version to 2
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 is based on PostgreSQL v14, but in the future we will probably need a separate copy for each PostgreSQL version. 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.
