Hi hackers.
There appears to be some unreachable code in the relcache function
GetRelationPublicationActions.
When the 'relation->rd_pubactions' is not NULL then the function
unconditionally returns early (near the top).
Therefore, the following code (near the bottom) seems to have no
purpose because IIUC the 'rd_pubactions' can never be not NULL here.
if (relation->rd_pubactions)
{
pfree(relation->rd_pubactions);
relation->rd_pubactions = NULL;
}
The latest Code Coverage report [1] also shows that this code is never executed.
5601 3556 : if (relation->rd_pubactions)
5602 : {
5603 0 : pfree(relation->rd_pubactions);
5604 0 : relation->rd_pubactions = NULL;
5605 : }
~~
PSA a patch to remove this unreachable code.
