Tom Lane 9ae2661fe1 Tighten checks for whitespace in functions that parse identifiers etc.
This patch replaces isspace() calls with scanner_isspace() in functions
that are likely to be presented with non-ASCII input.  isspace() has
the small advantage that it will correctly recognize no-break space
in single-byte encodings (such as LATIN1); but it cannot work successfully
for any multibyte character, and depending on platform it might return
false positive results for some fragments of multibyte characters.  That's
disastrous for functions that are trying to discard whitespace between
valid strings, as noted in bug #14662 from Justin Muise.  Even treating
no-break space as whitespace is pretty questionable for the usages touched
here, because the core scanner would think it is an identifier character.

Affected functions are parse_ident(), parseNameAndArgTypes (underlying
regprocedurein() and siblings), SplitIdentifierString (used for parsing
GUCs and options that are qualified names or lists of names), and
SplitDirectoriesString (used for parsing GUCs that are lists of
directories).

All the functions adjusted here are parsing SQL identifiers and similar
constructs, so it's reasonable to insist that their definition of
whitespace match the core scanner.  So we can hope that this won't cause
many backwards-compatibility problems.  I've left alone isspace() calls
in places that aren't really expecting any non-ASCII input characters,
such as float8in().

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:

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
