Yes, except that standby_mode is linked to StandbyModeRequested, not the
other one.  I can try see if there's a sane way out of this.

As I see it, renaming these will only add noise to this patch, and there
is also ArchiveRecoveryRequested / InArchiveRecovery.  This is going to
be tricky and I'm not sure it's really worth the effort.


I don't buy that to be honest, most (if not all) places that would be affected are already in diff as part of context around other renames anyway and it just does not seem right to rename some variables and not the others.

I still think there should be some thought given to merging the hot_standby and standby_mode, but I think we'd need opinion of more people (especially some committers) on this one.

- The whole CopyErrorData and memory context logic is not needed in
check_recovery_target_time() as the FlushErrorState() is not called
there

You must be right.  I recall having some trouble with strings being
free'd prematurely, but if it's ERROR, then there should be no need for
that.  I'll check again.

Hrm, after going through this again I'm pretty sure that was correct:
the only way to obtain the current error message is to use
CopyErrorData(), but that requires you to switch back to non-error
memory context (via Assert).

Right, my bad.


The FlushErrorState() call is not there because it's handled by the hook
caller (or it can exit via ereport() with elevel==ERROR).


Yes I've seen that, shouldn't you FreeErrorData(edata) then though? I guess it does not matter too much considering that you are going to throw error and die eventually anyway once you are in that code path, maybe just for the clarity...
