Hi,
src/backend/utils/misc/README says
"
If SIGHUP is received, the GUC code rereads the postgresql.conf
configuration file (this does not happen in the signal handler, but at
next return to main loop; note that it can be executed while within a
transaction).
"
SIGHUP_handler() calls ProcessConfigFile() which calls
ParseConfigFile() which reads postgresql.conf.
For me that means that postgresql.conf in read in the signal handler,
which contradicts the claim in the README. Where's my error?
