I'm proposing here a way to pass extra options to initdb when run internally during test setup in pg_regress or PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster's init (which covers just about all test suites other than initdb's own tests). For example: make check PG_TEST_INITDB_EXTRA_OPTS='-k -c work_mem=50MB' We currently document at [0] a way to pass custom server settings to the tests via PGOPTIONS. But this only works for pg_regress and only for options that can be changed at run time. My proposal can set initdb options, and since initdb has the -c option now, it can set any GUC parameter as well. I think this can be useful for a wide variety of uses, like running all tests with checksums enabled, or with JIT enabled, or with different GUC settings, or with different locale settings. (The existing pg_regress --no-locale option is essentially a special case of this, but it only provides one particular locale setting, not things like changing the default provider etc.) Of course, not all tests are going to pass with arbitrary options, but it is useful to run this against specific test suites. This patch also updates the documentation at [0] to explain the new method and distinguish it from the previously documented methods.
