Attached patch fixes coredump in non-Unicode version of pgadmin3.
This allows to build (non-Unicode) pgadmin3 on FreeBSD 4.x.

This patch appears highly dubious to me (apart from the fact that I'd call non-unicode unsupported).

m_conversion->MB2WC((wchar_t*)(wxChar*)wxStringBuffer(str, buf_len), (const char*)buffer, (size_t)(nLen+1));


wxStringBuffers expects the second parameter to contain the number of characters (not bytes), which will be the same for unicode as and non-unicode.


No. wxStringBuffer uses wxWCharBuffer in Unicode case and
wxCharBuffer in non-Unicode case.

Which is the same. 1 character = wchar_t = wxChar = wxWChar in Unicode, 1 character = char = wxChar in non-Unicode.

Anyhow, having a deeper look at wx unicode conversions it seems that (in contrast to earlier versions) now utf-conversions are supported in non-unicode too, making that offending line more than a no-op. Unfortunately, the usage of wxStringBuffer as argument to MB2WC is *plain wrong*, because writing wchar_t to char is pure bullsh*t for non-unicode. The code assumes wxChar==wchar_t, which is true in unicode only.

Which condenses down to "utffile.cpp is not non-unicode compatible". I've added a #error accordingly. Until utffile is thoroughly reworked for non-unicode, compiling pgadmin in unicode mode is *required*.
