For the first question, I don't mean that the memset is the dead store. 
I mean that the stores with value "0" after the memset are dead:

```

     dpns.subplans = NIL;
     dpns.ctes = NIL;
     dpns.appendrels = NULL;
```
since the memset has written zeroes to the object "dpns", and these 
members are known to be zero.

For the second question, you are right, I don't really profile it or 
measure the performance impact for it. I just think it's worthwhile to 
improve codegen quality without affecting readability, as adopting 
performance tips from some static analyzer.

Best regards, Hongyu.
