Subject: BUG #18849: DEREF_OF_NULL.RET Pointer '&partexprs_item.ptr_value', returned from function 'list_head' at partiti
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2025 09:14:19 +0000
Message-ID: <18849-4a0299b366741739@postgresql.org> (raw)
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 18849
Logged by: Nikita
Email address: pm91.arapov@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 16.6
Operating system: ubuntu 20.04
Description:
In principle, if data structure is correct there will be no problems. As for
correct structure it is known that there will be a non-NULL value. However
in other places that deal with the same structure the appropriate checks are
present. So for consistency we can add such a check here as well. On other
hand if the structure is checked for correctness in other places there is no
need to check it once again. So the decision on this is not very certain.

Node *expr = (Node *) lfirst(partexprs_item);
Bitmapset *expr_attrs = NULL;
