Tom Lane ded5ede277 Fix parsing of ISO-8601 interval fields with exponential notation.
Historically we've accepted interval input like 'P.1e10D'.  This
is probably an accident of having used strtod() to do the parsing,
rather than something anyone intended, but it's been that way for
a long time.  Commit e39f99046 broke this by trying to parse the
integer and fractional parts separately, without accounting for
the possibility of an exponent.  In principle that coding allowed
for precise conversions of field values wider than 15 decimal
digits, but that does not seem like a goal worth sweating bullets
for.  So, rather than trying to manage an exponent on top of the
existing complexity, let's just revert to the previous coding that
used strtod() by itself.  We can still improve on the old code to
the extent of allowing the value to range up to 1.0e15 rather than
only INT_MAX.  (Allowing more than that risks creating problems
due to precision loss: the converted fractional part might have
absolute value more than 1.  Perhaps that could be dealt with in
some way, but it really does not seem worth additional effort.)

Per bug #17795 from Alexander Lakhin.  Back-patch to v15 where
the faulty code came in.

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/.
