During one of my works for logical rewrite, I want to check if the expr

so the simplest way is:
if (expr->opno == 418 && nodeTag(linitial(expr->args)) == T_xxx &&
nodeTag(lsecond(expr->args)) == T_yyyy )
{
..
}
if we write code like above, we may have issues if the oid changed in
the future version.
Generally, you would do this by using a preprocessor symbol. For
example, instead of hardcoding the OID of the text type, you would use
the symbol TEXTOID instead. Symbols like that exist for many catalog
objects that one might reasonably need to hardcode.
However, hardcoding an OID reference to an operator looks like a design
mistake to me. Operators should normally be looked up via operator
classes or similar structures that convey the meaning of the operator.
Also, instead of nodeTag() == T_xxx you should use the IsA() macro.
