Actually, if we can avoid it being a pointer at all, that'd be even better :-) Because if we don't send a pointer we have to allocate, then the critical section functions have the same properties as the pthread ones, namely they cannot fail. Any chance for that way instead? //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-patches mailing list (pgsql-patches@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-patches
