Hello, My function neeeds to call a third-party library which would create a state and then that state should be kept for the duration of the current query. The library can deallocate that state in a correct way.
I understand that fn_extra is normally used for this and usually the state is created in a memory context which is deallocated at the end of the query. So normally it is not an issue. However, I cannot make that library use PostgreSQL utilities for memory management. I am afraid that for long-running sessions it may cause serious memory leaks if they do not deallocate state correctly and in a timely manner. Is there a mechanism for adding a finalizer hook which would be called and passed that pointer after the query is complete? Or perhaps there is another mechanism? I looked in the documentation and in the source but I do not see it mentioned. Thank you. With kind regards, Denys Rtveliashvili
