I wonder if we shouldn't just do
RangeTblEntry *rte PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY; ListCell *lc; /* Should only be applied to base relations that
aresubqueries */ Assert(rel->relid > 0);
-#ifdef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING rte = planner_rt_fetch(rel->relid, root); Assert(rte->rtekind == RTE_SUBQUERY);
-#endif
and eat the "useless" calculation of rte.
