Hello PostgreSQL Hackers,
What is the standard memory leak checking policy for the PostgreSQL codebase? I know there is some support for valgrind -- is the test suite being run continuously with valgrind on the build farm?
Is there any plan to support clang's AddressSanitizer?
I've seen a thread that memory leaks are allowed in initdb, because it is a short-lived process. Obviously they are not allowed in the database server. Are memory leaks allowed in the psql tool?
Regards,
Mikhail
