I am a newbie to databases and Postgres and I am trying to analyze the shared memory being calculated and allocated by Postgres in the method "CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores" for different major versions for different postgres.conf file
My idea was to create a utility in Postgres and calll out the methods like BufferShmemSize(), LockShmemSize() etc being used in the CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores() to find the value. Till now what I have done: I have created a new utility and am trying to link the src/backend code to it but I'm not able to get it working correctly. Is there any other interest idea / way where I use a postgres.conf file to calculate the above mentioned shared memory value ? I have found this discussion thread from the past but haven't made much sense to me in terms of where to look.
