Note that the xlogreader facility doesn't need any more emulation. I'm quite
satisfied with that part of the patch now. However, the rmgr desc routines
do, and I'm not very happy with those. Not sure what to do about it. As you
said, we could add enough infrastructure to make them compile in frontend
context, or we could try to make them rely less on backend functions.
Which emulation needs are you missing in the desc routines besides
relpathbackend() and timestamptz_to_str()? pfree() is "just" needed
because its used to free the result of relpathbackend(). No own pallocs,
no ereport ...
Nothing besides those, those are the stuff I was referring to.
