I understand that, so what's the suggested way to store data common
for all backends?
Answering my own question, the distribution of the current logfile
name could be done trough a file handle. So the only thing remaining
in shared mem would be the "reopen logfile" flag, which seems
nonproblematic. In case of garbled sharedmem, a backend would reopen
the logfile, which does no harm at all, or continue writing the
outdated logfile which would be annoying but not harmful either.
Acceptable?
Tom,
would you mind commenting on my suggestion so I can continue on that topic?
Regards,
Andreas
