Like you say, trouble with es_result_relations would be a v12/v13 phenomenon,
and v12/v13 ABI didn't change. If the v12/v13 ABI had changed here, that
would have moved pg_pathman from the "rebuild if using asserts" category to
the "rebuild unconditionally" category, due to this code:
pg_pathman:: estate->es_num_result_relations *
sizeof(ResultRelInfo));
pg_pathman:: estate->es_result_relations[estate->es_num_result_relations] =
*rri;
pg_pathman:: if (result_rels_allocated <= estate->es_num_result_relations)
pg_pathman:: return estate->es_num_result_relations++;
Since the v12/v13 ABI didn't change, pg_pathman remains in the "rebuild if
using asserts" category.
