Writing a C function to return the log file name

[Kouber Saparev <kouber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am trying to write a function in C to return the log file name by given timestamp. I will use that later to make dynamic creation of a foreign table (file_fdw) to read the csv logs themselves. The thing is I do now want to hardcode neither the format, nor the directory in my extension.

I already looked into the adminpack extension, but the format is hardcoded to the default one there, so it does not serve my needs.

Here is what I currently have:

https://gist.github.com/kouber/89b6e5b647452a672a446b12413e20cf

The thing is the function is returning random results, obtained by pg_strftime().

kouber=# select now()::timestamp, sqlog.log_path(now()::timestamp);
NOTICE:  Log directory = "pg_log"
NOTICE:  Log filename = "postgresql-%F.log"
NOTICE:  Length = "7"
NOTICE:  Filename = "pg_log/postgresql-17422165-04-30.log"
           now             |               log_path                
----------------------------+--------------------------------------
2017-06-02 14:17:47.832446 | pg_log/postgresql-17422165-04-30.csv
(1 row)

kouber=# select now()::timestamp, sqlog.log_path(now()::timestamp);
NOTICE:  Log directory = "pg_log"
NOTICE:  Log filename = "postgresql-%F.log"
NOTICE:  Length = "7"
NOTICE:  Filename = "pg_log/postgresql-17422166-02-08.log"
           now             |               log_path                
----------------------------+--------------------------------------
2017-06-02 14:18:12.390558 | pg_log/postgresql-17422166-02-08.csv
(1 row)

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

I copied logfile_getname() from syslogger.c, and simply added some debug messages in there.

Regards,
