To be clear, I'm not advocating doing nothing (and I don't think anyone else is). It's obvious based on Andres' results that we want to use atomics on platforms where they're well-supported. The argument is around what we're going to do for other platforms. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
