[PATCH] Possible arithmetic with NULL pointer or test "stack_base_ptr!= NULL" is irrelevant. - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi,
Of course, I don't know if it's the best solution, but it's the most obvious.
Or the test at line 3326 is irrelavant.

\backend\tcop\postgres.c
    if (stack_depth > max_stack_depth_bytes &&
        stack_base_ptr != NULL)
        return true;

Otherwise, if is relevant, substraction with NULL pointer is technically,undefined behavior..

Best regards.
