NULL passed as an argument to memcmp() in parse_func.c

Hello,

There are two places in parse_func.c where memcmp() conditionally gets a
NULL as its first argument, which invokes undefined behavior. I guess
gcc -O2 will make some assumptions based on memcpy's __nonnull attribute.

You can see when exactly that happens by applying the two trivial
patches below, running make check and printing backtrace in gdb. At
least one of these are triggered by a call to pg_get_triggerdef() in the
triggers test.
