Hi,
While looking at the code base I have encountered a server crash in
to_timestamp function.
select TO_TIMESTAMP ( '2006 1', 'YYYY Q' );
server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or
whileprocessing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
I further debugged the issue and here are my thoughts
[function DCH_from_char]
...
case DCH_Q: /* * We ignore Q when converting to date because it is not *
normative. * * We still parse the source string for an integer, but it * isn't
storedanywhere in 'out'. */ from_char_parse_int((int *) NULL, &s, n); s +=
SKIP_THth(n->suffix); ...
This piece of code is calling function "from_char_parse_int" with
first argument NULL. The function "from_char_parse_int" in turn calls
"from_char_parse_int_len" which in turn calls "from_char_set_int".
In the function "from_char_set_int" the first argument "dest" is being
derefernced without the null check.
(if (*dest != 0 && *dest != value)
