Description:
We checked the code in file “indexpath.c” and there are five errors
occurring in lines 2799, 2881, 2882, 2883 and 2884. These five errors are
all caused by the usage of pointers with NULL values. The code in line 2799
is “leftop = (Node *) linitial(saop->args);” The pointer “soap” mentioned in
this line is defined by the code in line 2786 as “ScalarArrayOpExpr *saop =
(ScalarArrayOpExpr *) rinfo->clause;”, so it is assigned as the “clause”
field of the input pointer “rinfo” of function
“match_saopclause_to_indexcol”. For the rest four errors, the codes are
“leftop = (Node *) linitial(clause->largs);”, “rightop = (Node *)
linitial(clause->rargs);”, “expr_op = linitial_oid(clause->opnos);”, and
“expr_coll = linitial_oid(clause->inputcollids);” respectively. The pointer
“clause” mentioned in these four lines is defined by the code in line 2853
as “RowCompareExpr *clause = (RowCompareExpr *) rinfo->clause;”, so it is
assigned as the “clause” field of the input pointer “rinfo” of function
“match_rowcompare_to_indexcol”. The program should check the effectiveness
of the input parameter “rinfo” of the function
“match_saopclause_to_indexcol” and the input parameter “rinfo” of the
function “match_rowcompare_to_indexcol” to avoid these five errors.
