Could you expand a bit on what you want this for exactly?
Max goal - to push my extension to postgres core. But now it's ready
only for 9.5. Prerequisites of this extension are patches presented here.
2. Patch that enables to interrupt the query executor
(executor_hooks.patch).
This patch enables to hang up hooks on executor function of each node
(ExecProcNode). I define hooks before any node execution and after
execution.
I use this patch to add possibility of query tracing by emitted rows from
any node. I interrupt query executor after any node delivers one or zero
rows to upper node. And after execution of specific number trace steps I can
get the query state of traceable backend which will be somewhat
deterministic. I use this possibility for regression tests of my extension.
This will increase executor overhead.
In simple case we have checks on existence of hooks. We may suppose to
use only not heavy processing on hooks under regular execution of query.
In my case (query trace), I set up hooks under trace mode and throw off
otherwise.

And so can be. It doesn't matter for trace mode. But I think instrument
branch is intended only for collecting statistics by nodes.
3. Patch that enables to output runtime explain statistics
(runtime_explain.patch).
This patch extends the regular explain functionality. The problem is in the
point that regular explain call makes result output after query execution
performing InstrEndLoop on nodes where necessary. My patch introduces
specific flag *runtime* that indicates whether we explain running query and
does some insertions in source code dedicated to output the statistics of
running query.
Unless I'm missing something this doesn't really expose a user of this
functionality?
This patch is only for extension. As described in
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CACACo5Sz7G0MFauC082iM=xx_hq7qq5ndr4jpo+h-o5vp6i...@mail.gmail.com
regular ExplainNode() prints only statistics after query execution and
asserts under InstEndLoop(). My patch releases this problem and rewrite
formulas for statistic parameters appropriate to running queries without
affecting regular EXPLAIN outputs.
