This goes back to the idea we've discussed from time to time of having a variant memory context type in which pfree() is a no-op and we dispense with all the per-chunk overhead. I guess that if there really isn't any overhead there then pfree/repalloc would actually crash :-( but for the particular case of dictionaries that would probably be OK because there's so little code that touches them. 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
