Declare the toc_nentry field as uint32 not Size. Since shm_toc_lookup() reads the field without any lock, it has to be atomically readable, and we do not assume that for fields wider than 32 bits. Performance would be impossibly bad for entry counts approaching 2^32 anyway, so there is no need to try to preserve maximum width here. This is probably an academic issue, because even if reading int64 isn't atomic, the high order half would never change in practice. Still, it's a coding rule violation, so let's fix it. Adjust some other not-terribly-well-chosen data types too, and copy-edit some comments. Make shm_toc_attach's Asserts consistent with shm_toc_create's. None of this looks to be a live bug, so no need for back-patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16984.1496679541@sss.pgh.pa.us
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
