A thing I am now wondering:
Is there anything in the postgresql documentation which explains this,
or says when a given memory context will be freed? Like, is the
ii_Context there for the lifetime of the index? For the lifetime of the
query? For the lifetime of a single insert operation?
AFAICS there isn't a chapter dedicated to memory contexts in the documentation.
Did you check the README that I pointed out in the previous email? Most of the
developer information is available in README files in the source code. Server
Programming and Internals contain useful information for Postgres hackers too.
