I mean that by the definition of build_remattrmap(), the
local_attname/remote_attname cannot be NULL if the given map isn't
NULL, so the if tests are just a waste of cycles. So I modified the
patch as such. Updated patch attached. I also removed an extra
change made to RemoteAttributeMapping, which seemed irrelevant to this
issue to me.
