My point was just to reduce the number of variables used and ease
debugger lookups with what is on the stack.
Anyway, putting the back-patching pain aside, and just for my own
knowledge... Andres, would it be fine to just use one sig_atomic_t
field which can be set from different code paths? Say:
typedef enum SignalPendingType {
PENDING_INTERRUPT,
PENDING_CANCEL_QUERY,
PENDING_PROC_DIE,
PENDING_RELOAD,
PENDING_SESSION_TIMEOUT
};
extern volatile sig_atomic_t signalPendingFlags;
And then within separate signal handlers things like:
void
StatementCancelHandler(SIGNAL_ARGS)
{
[...]
signalPendingFlags |= PENDING_INTERRUPT | PENDING_CANCEL_QUERY;
[...]
}
void
PostgresSigHupHandler(SIGNAL_ARGS)
{
[...]
signalPendingFlags |= ConfigReloadPending;
[...]
}
