I have been wondering what the difference between pthread_rwlock_lock and pthread_mutex_lock is. Both these routines acquire an exclusive rw lock on an enclosed region.
So I performed a simple experiment in which I execute both these routines multiple times in a loop. Here are the results:... (1 Reply)

Executive summary:
Code (posted below) cores in AIX 5.3, despite being compiled and run successfully on several other operating systems. Code is attempting to verify that pthread_mutex_lock can be successfully aborted by siglongjmp. I do not believe this is an unreasonable requirement.

Why do shell builtins like echo and pwd have binaries in /bin? When I do which pwd, I get the one in /bin. that means that I am not using the builtin version? What determines which one gets used? Is the which command a definitive way to determine what is being run when I enter pwd? (16 Replies)

ipcclean
IPCCLEAN(1) PostgreSQL Server Applications IPCCLEAN(1)
NAME
ipcclean - remove shared memory and semaphores from an aborted PostgreSQL server
SYNOPSIS
ipcclean
DESCRIPTION
ipcclean removes all shared memory segments and semaphore sets owned by the current user. It is intended to be used for cleaning up after a
crashed PostgreSQL server (postmaster(1)). Note that immediately restarting the server will also clean up shared memory and semaphores, so
this command is of little real utility.
Only the database administrator should execute this program as it can cause bizarre behavior (i.e., crashes) if run during multiuser execu-
tion. If this command is executed while a postmaster is running, the shared memory and semaphores allocated by the postmaster will be
deleted. This will result in a general failure of the backend servers started by that postmaster.
NOTES
This script is a hack, but in the many years since it was written, no one has come up with an equally effective and portable solution.
Since the postmaster can now clean up by itself, it is unlikely that ipcclean will be improved upon in the future.
The script makes assumption about the format of output of the ipcs utility which may not be true across different operating systems.
Therefore, it may not work on your particular OS.
