Thread: A fastpath for TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId

A fastpath for TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId

Hi:

In my recent work,  I want to check if the xmin for all the tuples is CurrentTransactioniId,
then I found we can improve the  fastpath for TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId 
like below,  would it be safe?  This would be helpful if we have lots of sub transactionId. 

diff --git a/src/backend/access/transam/xact.c b/src/backend/access/transam/xact.c
