I think we should redesign the shared memory API (and even more so the semaphore API), not just put a wrapper layer on it. A lot of the internal API is unnecessarily dependent on SysV shmem/sem behavior. Note however that there are some things you will break if you are not very careful. We are depending on shmem/sem behavior to catch a number of multiple-postmaster conflict situations. If there's not a more or less SysV-ish kernel underneath us, those situations will have to be rethought and some other interlock invented. In short, I want to see a design review first, not a bunch of off-the-cuff commits. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
