I think we have control over that. According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724466(v=vs.85).aspx CreateProcess() has to be called with bInheritHandles = true (which we do for backends), and SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES.bInheritHandle has to be true too. The latter we already only do for InitSharedLatch(), but not for InitLatch(), nor for the WSACreateEvent's created for sockets - those apparently can never be inherited. So that kind of sounds like it should be doable. - Andres -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
