Tom Lane 7730f48ede Teach UtfToLocal/LocalToUtf to support algorithmic encoding conversions.
Until now, these functions have only supported encoding conversions using
lookup tables, which is fine as long as there's not too many code points
to convert.  However, GB18030 expects all 1.1 million Unicode code points
to be convertible, which would require a ridiculously-sized lookup table.
Fortunately, a large fraction of those conversions can be expressed through
arithmetic, ie the conversions are one-to-one in certain defined ranges.
To support that, provide a callback function that is used after consulting
the lookup tables.  (This patch doesn't actually change anything about the
GB18030 conversion behavior, just provide infrastructure for fixing it.)

Since this requires changing the APIs of UtfToLocal/LocalToUtf anyway,
take the opportunity to rearrange their argument lists into what seems
to me a saner order.  And beautify the call sites by using lengthof()
instead of error-prone sizeof() arithmetic.

In passing, also mark all the lookup tables used by these calls "const".
This moves an impressive amount of stuff into the text segment, at least
on my machine, and is safer anyhow.

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/.
