Traditionally PIDs fit in 16 bits, let alone 32. I'd recommend that we standardize on casting pid_t to int for printing purposes; I think that's what's being done in more places than not. Also, as you note, we are using int variables to hold PIDs in many places --- I don't think it's worth running around and changing those either. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
