From: Tom Lane Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:37:36 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Install a more robust solution for the problem of infinite error-processing X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b080a19fe566b99bffab0b4918963d6190e2cb06;p=users%2Fbernd%2Fpostgres.git Install a more robust solution for the problem of infinite error-processing recursion when we are unable to convert a localized error message to the client's encoding. We've been over this ground before, but as reported by Ibrar Ahmed, it still didn't work in the case of conversion failures for the conversion-failure message itself :-(. Fix by installing a "circuit breaker" that disables attempts to localize this message once we get into recursion trouble. Patch all supported branches, because it is in fact broken in all of them; though I had to add some missing translations to the older branches in order to expose the failure in the particular test case I was using. --- diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/sources.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/sources.sgml index 587139c83b..4b1e614d04 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/sources.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/sources.sgml @@ -144,7 +144,7 @@ ereport(ERROR, errmsg_internal(const char *msg, ...) is the same as errmsg, except that the message string will not be - included in the internationalization message dictionary. + translated nor included in the internationalization message dictionary.
