#3704 closed defect (fixed)

ST_AsX3D returns random data / crashes client

Reported by: Mike Taves Owned by: robe
Priority: critical Milestone: PostGIS 2.3.3
Component: postgis Version: 2.3.x

Description

Testing ST_AsX3D on various geometries gives varied and interesting results with PostGIS 2.3 on Windows. I think these are critical bugs, because they return random data or crash the client.

SELECT ST_AsX3D('POINT EMPTY');
has unexpected behavior, often returning a zero-length string, or random junk like @ or 2.3.dll, but sometimes raising:

ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xec 0xa3

SELECT ST_AsX3D('LINESTRING EMPTY');
kills the client:

server closed the connection unexpectedly

This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.

The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed. !>

Non-critical bugs with other geometry types will be filed in the next bug report…

ah indeed. More concerning is why my garden test didn't pick this up as this would be one that should have been tested.

okay figured out why garden test didn't pick this up. It was testing this:

SELECT ST_AsX3D(foo1.the_geom, 3, 5)  As result
							FROM ((SELECT ST_GeomFromText('POINT EMPTY',4326) As the_geom
			UNION ALL SELECT ST_GeomFromText('MULTIPOINT EMPTY',4326) As the_geom
			UNION ALL SELECT ST_GeomFromText('MULTIPOLYGON EMPTY',4326) As the_geom
			UNION ALL SELECT ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING EMPTY',4326) As the_geom
			UNION ALL SELECT ST_GeomFromText('MULTILINESTRING EMPTY',4326) As the_geom ) ) As foo1 LIMIT 3;

Which because of the limit never got to testing LINESTRING EMPTY. Guess I got to increase the limit on this so covers the number of empties.
