Coverity pointed out something that looks like a potentially live
problem in 5bf748b86:
/srv/coverity/git/pgsql-git/postgresql/src/backend/access/nbtree/nbtutils.c: 2950 in _bt_preprocess_keys()
2944 * need to make sure that we don't throw away an array
2945 * scan key. _bt_compare_scankey_args expects us to
2946 * always keep arrays (and discard non-arrays).
2947 */
2948 Assert(j == (BTEqualStrategyNumber - 1));
2949 Assert(xform[j].skey->sk_flags & SK_SEARCHARRAY);
>>> CID 1596256: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
>>> Dereferencing null pointer "array".
2950 Assert(xform[j].ikey == array->scan_key);
2951 Assert(!(cur->sk_flags & SK_SEARCHARRAY));
2952 }
2953 }
2954 else if (j == (BTEqualStrategyNumber - 1))
Above this there is an assertion
Assert(!array || array->num_elems > 0);
which certainly makes it look like array->scan_key could be
a null-pointer dereference.
