cache_locale_time (extraction of LC_TIME-related info) had never been taught the lessons we previously learned about extraction of info related to LC_MONETARY and LC_NUMERIC. Specifically, commit 95a777c61 taught PGLC_localeconv() that data coming out of localeconv() was in an encoding determined by the relevant locale, but we didn't realize that there's a similar issue with strftime(). And commit a4930e7ca hardened PGLC_localeconv() against errors occurring partway through, but failed to do likewise for cache_locale_time(). So, rearrange the latter function to perform encoding conversion and not risk failure while it's got the locales set to temporary values. This time around I also changed PGLC_localeconv() to treat it as FATAL if it can't restore the previous settings of the locale values. There is no reason (except possibly OOM) for that to fail, and proceeding with the wrong locale values seems like a seriously bad idea --- especially on Windows where we have to also temporarily change LC_CTYPE. Also, protect against the possibility that we can't identify the codeset reported for LC_MONETARY or LC_NUMERIC; rather than just failing, try to validate the data without conversion. The user-visible symptom this fixes is that if LC_TIME is set to a locale name that implies an encoding different from the database encoding, non-ASCII localized day and month names would be retrieved in the wrong encoding, leading to either unexpected encoding-conversion error reports or wrong output from to_char(). The other possible failure modes are unlikely enough that we've not seen reports of them, AFAIK. The encoding conversion problems do not manifest on Windows, since we'd already created special-case code to handle that issue there. Per report from Juan José Santamaría Flecha.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
