... btw, I think there is another problem here, which is that generate_wildcard_trgm will restart get_wildcard_part at the same place that the second loop exits, which means it would do the wrong thing if what it returns is a pointer to the second char of an escape pair. Consider for instance
foo\\%bar The first call of get_wildcard_part will correctly extract "foo", but then return a pointer to the second backslash. So the second call will think that the % is escaped, which it is not, leading to a wrong decision about whether to pad "bar". Probably a minimal fix for this could be made by backing up "endword" one byte before returning it if in_escape is true when the second loop exits. That would not scale up to preserving the state of in_wildcard_meta, but since the second loop never advances past a meta char, that's okay for the moment. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
