+1. The potential for bugs from failing to account for this within signal handlers seems like a concern. I think that every process should use the process latch, except for the archiver which uses a local latch because it pointedly does not touch shared memory. I think I wrote a comment that made it into the latch header comments encouraging this, but never saw to it that it was universally adhered to. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
