Hmm, if we're following amcheck's example it should be more like this:

diff --git a/src/backend/access/brin/brin.c b/src/backend/access/brin/brin.c
index 52f171772d..0de1441dc6 100644

     }
     else
+    {
         heapRel = NULL;
+        /* Set these just to suppress "uninitialized variable" warnings */
+        save_userid = InvalidOid;
+        save_sec_context = -1;
+        save_nestlevel = -1;
+    }
 
     indexRel = index_open(indexoid, ShareUpdateExclusiveLock);
 
I like this better anyway since the fact that the other two variables
aren't warned about seems like an implementation artifact.

            regards, tom lane
