Yeah -- unless we're prepared to drop threadless systems altogether, this doesn't seem like it does much for maintainability. It might even be a net negative on that score, due to reducing the amount of testing the now-legacy code path would get. If there were reason to think we'd get a large performance benefit, or some other concrete win, it might be worth putting time into this. But I see no reason to believe that. (There's certainly an argument to be made that no-one cares about platforms without thread support anymore. But I'm unconvinced that rewriting existing code that works fine is the most productive way to exploit such a choice if we were to make it.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
