The cfbot is being picky about this:

3218pg_dump.c: In function ‘dumpTableAttach’:
3219pg_dump.c:15600:42: error: suggest parentheses around comparison in operand of ‘&’ [-Werror=parentheses]
3220  if (attachinfo->partitionTbl->dobj.dump & DUMP_COMPONENT_DEFINITION == 0)
3221                                          ^
3222cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

which if I've got the precedence straight is indeed a bug.

Personally I'd probably write

    if (!(attachinfo->partitionTbl->dobj.dump & DUMP_COMPONENT_DEFINITION))

as it seems like a boolean test to me.

  1. pg_dump: label INDEX ATTACH ArchiveEntries with an owner.

  2. Dump ALTER TABLE ... ATTACH PARTITION as a separate ArchiveEntry.

  3. Make pg_dump emit ATTACH PARTITION instead of PARTITION OF (reprise)
