It'll dump core just fine without the help of an Assert ;-). I don't see that an Assert adds much of anything. In practice those mallocs are done during startup, so it seems very unlikely that they could fail, anyway. > Also, seems we use malloc() a few other places where palloc should be > used, like variable.c. Is that correct? Those are correct because of guc.c's conventions.
