|Allow function call backtraces of errors to be logged (Peter Eisentraut,
Álvaro Herrera)
|Server variable backtrace_functions specifies which C functions should
generate backtraces on error.
I think the details in the description are eclipsing the most important thing:
backtraces on Assert(). I would say "Support for showing backtraces on error".
Regarding this one:
|Add system view pg_shmem_allocations to display shared memory usage (Andres
Freund, Robert Haas)
|WHAT IS THE ENTRY WITH NO NAME?
There seems to be two special, "unnamed" cases:
src/backend/storage/ipc/shmem.c- /* output shared memory allocated but
not counted via the shmem index */
src/backend/storage/ipc/shmem.c: values[0] =
CStringGetTextDatum("<anonymous>");
...
src/backend/storage/ipc/shmem.c- /* output as-of-yet unused shared
memory */
src/backend/storage/ipc/shmem.c- nulls[0] = true;
That seems to be adequately documented:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/view-pg-shmem-allocations.html
|NULL for unused memory and <anonymous> for anonymous allocations.
I would remove this part:
"Previously, this could only be set at server start."
