[ generate_series_with_timezone.v6.patch ]
The cfbot isn't terribly happy with this. It looks like UBSan
is detecting some undefined behavior. Possibly an uninitialized
variable?
It was the classical case of out-of-bounds access. I was trying to
access 4th argument, even in the case where the 3-argument variant of
generate_series() was called.
Please see attached v7 of the patch. It now checks PG_NARGS() before
accessing the optional parameter.
This mistake would've been caught early if there were assertions
preventing access beyond the number of arguments passed to the
function. I'll send the assert_enough_args.patch, that adds these
checks, in a separate thread to avoid potentially confusing cfbot.
Tested this patch on current head.
The patch applies, with a few offsets.
Functionality wise it works as documented, also tried with
"America/New_York" and "Europe/Berlin" as time zone.
The included tests cover both an entire year (including a new year), and
also a DST switch (date_add() for 2021-10-31 in Europe/Warsaw, which is
the date the country switches to standard time).
Minor nitpick: the texts use both "time zone" and "timezone".
