I eventually realized that the critical difference was you'd added
"CFLAGS=" to the configure call. On this platform that has the net
effect of removing -O2 from the compiler flags, and apparently that
shifts around the stack layout enough to expose the clobber.
The fix is simple enough: ecpg's version of ParseDateTime is failing
to check for overrun of the field[] array until *after* it's already
clobbered the stack:
*** a/src/interfaces/ecpg/pgtypeslib/dt_common.c
--- b/src/interfaces/ecpg/pgtypeslib/dt_common.c
*************** ParseDateTime(char *timestr, char *lowst
*** 1695,1703 **** while (*(*endstr) != '\0') { /* Record start of current field */
- field[nf] = lp; if (nf >= MAXDATEFIELDS) return -1; /* leading digit? then date or time
*/ if (isdigit((unsigned char) *(*endstr)))
--- 1695,1703 ---- while (*(*endstr) != '\0') { /* Record start of current field */ if (nf >=
MAXDATEFIELDS) return -1;
+ field[nf] = lp; /* leading digit? then date or time */ if (isdigit((unsigned char) *(*endstr)))
Kind of astonishing that nobody else has reported this, given that
there's been a regression test specifically meant to catch such a
problem since 4318dae. The stack layout in PGTYPESdate_from_asc
must happen to avoid the issue on practically all platforms.
