[PATCH][BUG FIX] Unsafe access pointers.
Hi,
Last time, I promise.
It's probably not happening, but it can happen, I think.
Best regards.

I don't think it can, given how elog() works.
- if (!HeapTupleIsValid(classtup)) + if (!HeapTupleIsValid(classtup)) { elog(ERROR, "cache lookup failed for operator class %u", opclassoid); + return false;
elog or ereport with a severity of ERROR or higher will never return.
- if (!HeapTupleIsValid(familytup)) + if (!HeapTupleIsValid(familytup)) { elog(ERROR, "cache lookup failed for operator family %u", opfamilyoid); + ReleaseSysCache(classtup); + return false; + }
Not only will elog(ERROR ..) not return to run this, the errorhandling
machinery will automatically release resources and clean up.

This patch assumes that anything can happen after elog(ERROR). That's
wrong -- under ERROR or higher, elog() (as well as ereport) never
returns to the caller. If this was possible, there would be thousands
of places that would need to be patched, all over the server code. But
it's not.
/* Fetch opclass information */ classtup = SearchSysCache1(CLAOID, ObjectIdGetDatum(opclassoid)); - if (!HeapTupleIsValid(classtup)) + if (!HeapTupleIsValid(classtup)) { elog(ERROR, "cache lookup failed for operator class %u", opclassoid); + return false; + }
