- /* only build a new snapshot if we don't have a prebuilt one */
- if (builder->snapshot == NULL)
- {
- builder->snapshot = SnapBuildBuildSnapshot(builder);
- /* increase refcount for the snapshot builder */
- SnapBuildSnapIncRefcount(builder->snapshot);
- }
+ Snapshot snapshot = SnapBuildGetOrBuildSnapshot(builder);

/*
* Increase refcount for the transaction we're handing the snapshot
* out to.
*/
- SnapBuildSnapIncRefcount(builder->snapshot);
+ SnapBuildSnapIncRefcount(snapshot);
ReorderBufferSetBaseSnapshot(builder->reorder, xid, lsn,
- builder->snapshot);
+ snapshot);

The snapshot created above is a temporary variable and is not recorded into
builder->snapshot, which may cause a leak.
