That's rather rude. I doubt that you know anything about how much
education Andres does nor does not have. The fact that he doesn't
agree with you does not mean that he is poorly educated.
Sorry Robert.
 

On the substance of the issue, I see from the commit log that you've
gotten a few real issues fixed -- but I also agree with Andres that
you've reported a lot of things that are not real issues, and that
takes up other people's time looking at things that really don't
matter. Please make an effort not to report things that don't actually
need to be fixed.
All my patches don't just leave my head. It comes from reports of analysis tools, by themselves, they are already suspect.
I confess that FATAL error log, confused me a lot and since then, I have tried my best not to make the same mistakes.
 

pg_resetwal exits very quickly, generally in a small fraction of a
second. The allocation you're at pains to free only happens once per
execution and allocates only 8kB. Trying to free allocations that are
tiny and short-lived has no benefit. It's better to let the program
exit that much quicker, at which point all the memory is freed anyway.
Read_controlfile is a function, as it stands, it is useless to be reused.
