Something a bit different.. I was wondering if it could be possible
to tweak this code to truncate the data in the generated error string
so as the incomplete multi-byte sequence is entirely cut out, which
would come to setting token_terminator to "s" (last byte before the
incomplete byte sequence) rather than "term" (last byte available,
even if incomplete):
#define FAIL_AT_CHAR_END(code) \
do { \
char *term = s + pg_encoding_mblen(lex->input_encoding, s); \
lex->token_terminator = (term <= end) ? term : s; \
return code; \
} while (0)
But looking closer, I can see that in the JSON_INVALID_TOKEN case,
when !tok_done, we set token_terminator to point to the end of the
token, and that would include an incomplete byte sequence like in your
case. :/
At the end of the day, I think that I'm OK with your patch and avoid
the overread for now in the back-branches. This situation makes me
uncomfortable and we should put more effort in printing error messages
in a readable format, but that could always be tackled later as a
separate problem.. And I don't see something backpatchable at short
sight for v16.
Thoughts and/or objections?
