Tom Lane 976a1a48fc Improve to_date/to_number/to_timestamp behavior with multibyte characters. 
The documentation says that these functions skip one input character
per literal (non-pattern) format character.  Actually, though, they
skipped one input *byte* per literal *byte*, which could be hugely
confusing if either data or format contained multibyte characters.

To fix, adjust the FormatNode representation and parse_format() so
that multibyte format characters are stored as one FormatNode not
several, and adjust the data-skipping bits to advance by pg_mblen()
not necessarily one byte.  There's no user-visible behavior change
on the to_char() side, although the internal representation changes.

Commit e87d4965b had already fixed most places where we skip characters
on the basis of non-literal format patterns to advance by characters
not bytes, but this gets one more place, the SKIP_THth macro.  I think
everything in formatting.c gets that right now.

It'd be nice to have some regression test cases covering this behavior;
but of course there's no way to do so in an encoding-agnostic way, and
many of the interesting aspects would also require unportable locale
selections.  So I've not bothered here.

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:

	https://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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
