Hello!
The fix itself looks good to me, I only seem some issues in the test.
--- a/src/interfaces/ecpg/test/pgtypeslib/dt_test2.pgc
+++ b/src/interfaces/ecpg/test/pgtypeslib/dt_test2.pgc
If the test produces additional output, you should also update the
output file. (but also see my later comment about this)
+ char large_fmt[10000] = {
+ [0] = '%',
+ [1] = 'D',
+ [2 ... 9998] = 'A'
+ };
+
2...9998 is a GNU extension, it won't compile on MSVC.
+ PGTYPEStimestamp_defmt_asc("1 minute", large_fmt, &ts1);
+ printf("Success parsing large string\n");
Won't this fail parsing? I am not saying that it wouldn't trigger an
asan/valgrind report when executed with that and the original code,
but that printed message is misleading. (it won't succeed ; we aren't
parsing a large string, it's a small string parsed with a large format
string). It also only tests 1 of the 4 fixed locations.
I probably wouldn't print anything for these tests, as the output
won't help deciding if the test failed or passed, it is always the
same. Maybe a comment explaining that these calls can trigger
asan/valgrind would be more useful?

These seems to be similar but different issue to me.
