> All local memory is safe to handle that way. In my case I am reallocating memory for a global variable between transactions. I wanted to make sure I don't leave allocated memory behind.
> The problem only arises when you have memory to release _earlier_ than that. First I was looking for a way to free my allocated memory before exit. I found the proc_exit hook mechanism but I am not sure where to setup this hook. Given allocating memory in TopMemoryContext is the same as malloc, then I'll just leave my allocated memory to be freed automatically when exit.
