Message-ID: <E1vGzNS-005IKt-0f@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Add comment to explain why PGReserveSemaphores() is called early
Before commit e25626677f, PGReserveSemaphores() had to be called
before SpinlockSemaInit() because spinlocks were implemented using
semaphores on some platforms (--disable-spinlocks). Add a comment
explaining that.
