OK - something like this? Should keep non-printable/control characters out of logs too... static const char * assign_application_name(const char *newval, bool doit, GucSource source) { /* Only allow clean ASCII chars in the application name */ int x; char *repval = guc_malloc(ERROR, strlen(newval) + 1); repval[0] = 0; for (x=0; x<strlen(newval); x++) { if (newval[x] < 32 || newval[x] > 126) repval[x] = '?'; else repval[x] = newval[x]; } repval[x+1] = 0; return repval; } -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
