[patch]overallocate memory for curly braces in array_out

От

Hi,

Attached is a patch that fixes a bug
for miscounting total number of curly braces in output string in array_out.

Example1
        {{1,2,3},{4,5,6}} -> dims[0] = 2, dims[1]= 3

- Without the patch
                8
- After
                3   

Example2
        N size one-dimensional array -> dims[0] = N

        - Without the patch
                N
    - After
                1

I used gdb to confirm the above behavior.

Cheers,
Keiichi Hirobe

Wow, good catch!

Testing this, I found there's a second way in which the space calculation
is off: it always allocated one more byte than required, as a result of
counting one more comma than is really required.  That's not nearly as
significant as the curly-brace miscount, but it still got in the way of
doing this:

*** 1234,1239 ****
--- 1243,1251 ----
  #undef APPENDSTR
  #undef APPENDCHAR
  
+     /* Assert that we calculated the string length accurately */
+     Assert(overall_length == (p - retval + 1));
+ 
      pfree(values);
      pfree(needquotes);
  

which seemed to me like a good idea now that we know this code isn't
so perfect as all that.

Will push shortly.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I am not sure whether to fix another bug, but I fixed and I attached a new patch,
please check it.

Please note that I inserted a line for updating "overall_length" at line 1185.

I checked below case.

select ARRAY[ARRAY[1,2,3],ARRAY[4,5,6]]; (regular case)
select '[3:4][2:4]={{1,2,3},{4,5,6}}'::_int4; (needdims case)
select  ARRAY['a"bc','def']; (needquote case)


Cheers,

I think this duplicates what I already committed at
