Tom Lane 93d7706cbf Fix volatile-safety issue in asyncQueueReadAllNotifications(). 
The "pos" variable is modified within PG_TRY and then referenced
within PG_CATCH, so for strict POSIX conformance it must be marked
volatile.  Superficially the code looked safe because pos's address
was taken, which was sufficient to force it into memory ... but it's
not sufficient to ensure that the compiler applies updates exactly
where the program text says to.  The volatility marking has to extend
into a couple of subroutines too, but I think that's probably a good
thing because the risk of out-of-order updates is mostly in those
subroutines not asyncQueueReadAllNotifications() itself.  In principle
the compiler could have re-ordered operations such that an error could
be thrown while "pos" had an incorrect value.

It's unclear how real the risk is here, but for safety back-patch
to all active branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
