Veil http://pgfoundry.org/projects/veil is currently not a very good Postgres citizen. It steals what little shared memory it needs from postgres' shared memory using ShmemAlloc().
For Postgres 8.2 I would like Veil to be a better citizen and use only what shared memory has been reserved for postgres add-ins. So, I would like to propose: 1) that a new shared memory area for add-ins be created 2) that it should be accessible only to add-ins specifically requesting its use 3) that the size of this add-in memory be controlled through a new GUC setting If this proposal is acceptable, I'd like some suggestions for naming the GUC. If not we will be stuck with add_in_shmem, specified in Kbytes. My expectation is that this would be a very small change and one that I am probably competent to make myself, with a little review from my friends. __ Marc
