only happen if Asserts are disabled, which ought to be irrelevant.
Maybe that affects a decision whether to inline get_ten(), which would
be needed to expose the warning condition to the compiler? Anyway,
the fix is clear.
This is required on Windows due to the special locale

modules are built. Foremost, it creates a solid distinction between these two
types of targets based on what had already been implemented and duplicated in
ad hoc ways before. Specifically,
- Dynamically loadable modules no longer get a soname. The numbers previously
set in the makefiles were dummy numbers anyway, and the presence of a soname
upset a few packaging tools, so it is nicer not to have one.
- The cumbersome detour taken on installation (build a libfoo.so.0.0.0 and
then override the rule to install foo.so instead) is removed.
- Lots of duplicated code simplified.
ISO_8859-5 <-> MULE_INTERNAL conversion tables.
This was discovered when trying to convert a string containing those characters
from ISO_8859-5 to Windows-1251, because we use MULE_INTERNAL/KOI8R as an
intermediate encoding between those two.
While the missing "Yo" was just an omission in the conversion tables, there are
a few other characters like the "Numero" sign ("No" as a single character) that
exists in all the other cyrillic encodings (win1251, ISO_8859-5 and cp866), but
not in KOI8R. Added comments about that.

errors in any commands, including in various clean targets that have so far
been handled inconsistently. make -i is available to ignore all errors in
a consistent and official way.
renumbering of encoding IDs done between 8.2 and 8.3 turns out to break 8.2
initdb and psql if they are run with an 8.3beta1 libpq.so. For the moment
we can rearrange the order of enum pg_enc to keep the same number for
everything except PG_JOHAB, which isn't a problem since there are no direct
references to it in the 8.2 programs anyway. (This does force initdb
unfortunately.)
Going forward, we want to fix things so that encoding IDs can be changed
without an ABI break, and this commit includes the changes needed to allow
libpq's encoding IDs to be treated as fully independent of the backend's.
The main issue is that libpq clients should not include pg_wchar.h or
otherwise assume they know the specific values of libpq's encoding IDs,
since they might encounter version skew between pg_wchar.h and the libpq.so
they are using. To fix, have libpq officially export functions needed for
encoding name<=>ID conversion and validity checking; it was doing this
anyway unofficially.
It's still the case that we can't renumber backend encoding IDs until the
next bump in libpq's major version number, since doing so will break the
8.2-era client programs. However the code is now prepared to avoid this
type of problem in future.
Note that initdb is no longer a libpq client: we just pull in the two
source files we need directly. The patch also fixes a few places that
were being sloppy about checking for an unrecognized encoding name.
database via builtin functions, as recently discussed on -hackers.
chr() now returns a character in the database encoding. For UTF8 encoded databases
the argument is treated as a Unicode code point. For other multi-byte encodings
the argument must designate a strict ascii character, or an error is raised,
as is also the case if the argument is 0.
ascii() is adjusted so that it remains the inverse of chr().
The two argument form of convert() is gone, and the three argument form now
takes a bytea first argument and returns a bytea. To cover this loss three new
functions are introduced:
. convert_from(bytea, name) returns text - converts the first argument from the
named encoding to the database encoding
. convert_to(text, name) returns bytea - converts the first argument from the
database encoding to the named encoding
. length(bytea, name) returns int - gives the length of the first argument in
characters in the named encoding
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

page about the maximum UTF8 sequence length we support (4 bytes since 8.1,
3 before that). pg_utf2wchar_with_len never got updated to support 4-byte
characters at all, and in any case had a buffer-overrun risk in that it
could produce multiple pg_wchars from what mblen claims to be just one UTF8
character. The only reason we don't have a major security hole is that most
callers allocate worst-case output buffers; the sole exception in released
versions appears to be pre-8.2 iwchareq() (ie, ILIKE), which can be crashed
due to zeroing out its return address --- but AFAICS that can't be exploited
for anything more than a crash, due to inability to control what gets written
there. Per report from James Russell and Michael Fuhr.
Pre-8.1 the risk is much less, but I still think pg_utf2wchar_with_len's
behavior given an incomplete final character risks buffer overrun, so
back-patch that logic change anyway.
This patch also makes sure that UTF8 sequences exceeding the supported
length (whichever it is) are consistently treated as error cases, rather
than being treated like a valid shorter sequence in some places.

characters in all cases. Formerly we mostly just threw warnings for invalid
input, and failed to detect it at all if no encoding conversion was required.
The tighter check is needed to defend against SQL-injection attacks as per
CVE-2006-2313 (further details will be published after release). Embedded
zero (null) bytes will be rejected as well. The checks are applied during
input to the backend (receipt from client or COPY IN), so it no longer seems
necessary to check in textin() and related routines; any string arriving at
those functions will already have been validated. Conversion failure
reporting (for characters with no equivalent in the destination encoding)
has been cleaned up and made consistent while at it.
Also, fix a few longstanding errors in little-used encoding conversion
routines: win1251_to_iso, win866_to_iso, euc_tw_to_big5, euc_tw_to_mic,
mic_to_euc_tw were all broken to varying extents.

probably never see this error:
if (pg_set_client_encoding(encoding))
{

This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1.
