It turns out that on FreeBSD-derived platforms (including OS X), the *scanf() family of functions is pretty much brain-dead about multibyte characters. In particular it will apply isspace() to individual bytes of input even when those bytes are part of a multibyte character, thus allowing false recognition of a field-terminating space. We appear to have little alternative other than instituting a coding rule that *scanf() is not to be used if the input string might contain multibyte characters. (There was some discussion of relying on "%ls", but that probably just moves the portability problem somewhere else, and besides it doesn't fully prevent BSD *scanf() from using isspace().) This patch is a down payment on that: it gets rid of use of sscanf() to parse ispell dictionary files, which are certainly at great risk of having a problem. The code is cleaner this way anyway, though a bit longer. In passing, improve a few comments. Report and patch by Artur Zakirov, reviewed and somewhat tweaked by me. Back-patch to all supported branches. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
