Re: coverage.postgresql.org doesn't run injection_point tests

The purpose of injection_points is to get test coverage for areas that
would otherwise be almost impossible to ensure coverage of due to
concurrency or timing issues. It would be useful if
coverage.postgresql.org was made to build Postgres with support for
injection_points, so that the relevant TAP tests actually ran and were
counted by community coverage reports. That way we'd have a more
complete picture of the test coverage situation.

Thanks

Thanks for pointing it out. I have enabled the configure option, and
looking at the report for transam/multixact.c, they are being exercised.
