Tom Lane 79b7847c72 Guard against unsafe conditions in usage of pg_strftime().
Although pg_strftime() has defined error conditions, no callers bother
to check for errors.  This is problematic because the output string is
very likely not null-terminated if an error occurs, so that blindly
using it is unsafe.  Rather than trusting that we can find and fix all
the callers, let's alter the function's API spec slightly: make it
guarantee a null-terminated result so long as maxsize > 0.

Furthermore, if we do get an error, let's make that null-terminated
result be an empty string.  We could instead truncate at the buffer
length, but that risks producing mis-encoded output if the tz_name
string contains multibyte characters.  It doesn't seem reasonable for
src/timezone/ to make use of our encoding-aware truncation logic.
Also, the only really likely source of a failure is a user-supplied
timezone name that is intentionally trying to overrun our buffers.
I don't feel a need to be particularly friendly about that case.

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.
