回复: are the 2 if-statements in join_is_legal() removable?

Hi Tom:
Thanks for your reply! I add logs like this:
            if (bms_is_subset(sjinfo->min_lefthand, rel1->relids) &&
                  bms_is_subset(sjinfo->min_righthand, rel2->relids))
            {
                  if (match_sjinfo) {
                        elog(LOG, "gunkris111111111111");
                        return false;     /* invalid join path */
                  }
                  match_sjinfo = sjinfo;
                  reversed = false;
            }
            else if (bms_is_subset(sjinfo->min_lefthand, rel2->relids) &&
                         bms_is_subset(sjinfo->min_righthand, rel1->relids))
            {
                  if (match_sjinfo) {
                        elog(LOG, "gunkris222222222222");
                        return false;     /* invalid join path */
                  }
                  match_sjinfo = sjinfo;
                  reversed = true;
            }
            else if (sjinfo->jointype == JOIN_SEMI &&
                         bms_equal(sjinfo->syn_righthand, rel2->relids) &&
                         create_unique_path(root, rel2, rel2->cheapest_total_path,
                                                      sjinfo) != NULL)
            {

                  if (match_sjinfo) {
                        elog(LOG, "gunkris33333333333333");
                        return false;     /* invalid join path */
                  }
                  match_sjinfo = sjinfo;
                  reversed = false;
                  unique_ified = true;
            }
            else if (sjinfo->jointype == JOIN_SEMI &&
                         bms_equal(sjinfo->syn_righthand, rel1->relids) &&
                         create_unique_path(root, rel1, rel1->cheapest_total_path,
                                                      sjinfo) != NULL)
            {
                  /* Reversed semijoin case */
                  if (match_sjinfo) {
                        elog(LOG, "gunkris4444444444444444");
                        return false;     /* invalid join path */
                  }
                  match_sjinfo = sjinfo;
                  reversed = true;
                  unique_ified = true;
            }
Then I run the core regression tests with "make installcheck-parallel
" for v18beta1 as the document dictates. When the regression test is done, only the last 2 log entries are found in logfile, the first 2 entries are not printed at all. I run core regression also with v14.15 and v17.2, the results are the same. What test suite do I need to run to cover the first 2 branches, or could you please show me a example query that can cover them? Thank you very much.

The code coverage report says yes.
