That doesn't look right at all:
+#ifdef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING
RangeTblEntry *rte PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY;
+#endif
The entire point of the PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY annotation is to suppress
this type of warning without a need for an explicit #ifdef like that one.
We should either fix PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY to work on MSVC as well,
or decide that we don't care about suppressing such warnings on MSVC,
or give up on PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY and remove it everywhere in
favor of plain #ifdefs.
(I'm personally not that much in love with PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY,
because it tends to confuse pgindent.)
