Hello,
Postgres supports to add custom GUC variables on runtime, but we
cannot use GUC flags in them. This patch adds the flags argument
to DefineCusomXxx() functions. The flags were always 0 until now.
GUC flags are useful for variables with units. Users will be able
to add configuration parameters somothing like memory-size or
time-duration more easily.
I have a plan to use the feature in SQL tracing and analyzing add-on
for postgres. Also, the auto-explain patch suggested in the last
commit-fest could be re-implemented as a plug-in instead of a core-feature
using the custom variable with units and ExecutorRun_hook.
Regards,
