Our previous code for GB18030 <-> UTF8 conversion only covered Unicode code points up to U+FFFF, but the actual spec defines conversions for all code points up to U+10FFFF. That would be rather impractical as a lookup table, but fortunately there is a simple algorithmic conversion between the additional code points and the equivalent GB18030 byte patterns. Make use of the just-added callback facility in LocalToUtf/UtfToLocal to perform the additional conversions. Having created the infrastructure to do that, we can use the same code to map certain linearly-related subranges of the Unicode space below U+FFFF, allowing removal of the corresponding lookup table entries. This more than halves the lookup table size, which is a substantial savings; utf8_and_gb18030.so drops from nearly a megabyte to about half that. In support of doing that, replace ISO10646-GB18030.TXT with the data file gb-18030-2000.xml (retrieved from http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/data/trunk/charset/data/xml/ ) in which these subranges have been deleted from the simple lookup entries. Per bug #12845 from Arjen Nienhuis. The conversion code added here is based on his proposed patch, though I whacked it around rather heavily.
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: http://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 http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
