i guess, that's why i originally used a more complicated aproach (now
i can breath again, i didn't fully reminded why i use that)
"""
! couldStop = true;
if (record->xl_rmid != RM_XACT_ID)
! couldStop = false;
! /*
! * Or when we found a named restore point
! */
record_info = record->xl_info & ~XLR_INFO_MASK;
+ if ((record->xl_rmid == RM_XLOG_ID) && (record_info == XLOG_RESTORE_POINT))
+ couldStop = true;
+
+ if (!couldStop)
+ return false;
"""

but i agree that your solution is more readible, i don't see any
problems from here
