 *
 * launch_backend.c
 *    Functions for launching backends and other postmaster child
 *    processes.
 *
 * On Unix systems, a new child process is launched with fork().  It inherits
 * all the global variables and data structures that had been initialized in
 * the postmaster.  After forking, the child process closes the file
 * descriptors that are not needed in the child process, and sets up the
 * mechanism to detect death of the parent postmaster process, etc.  After
 * that, it calls the right Main function depending on the kind of child
 * process.
 *
 * In EXEC_BACKEND mode, which is used on Windows but can be enabled on other
 * platforms for testing, the child process is launched by fork() + exec() (or
 * CreateProcess() on Windows).  It does not inherit the state from the
 * postmaster, so it needs to re-attach to the shared memory, re-initialize
 * global variables, reload the config file etc. to get the process to the
 * same state as after fork() on a Unix system.
