Hello,

this is a code snippet that causes ECPG to segfault. It's quite tricky
to produce, as changing the variable name from 'var' to 'myvar' already
causes things to compile fine ...


#define CHAR_LENGTH 25
myfunction ()
{
    EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
    char   var[2*CHAR_LENGTH];
    EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

    EXEC SQL DECLARE mycursor CURSOR FOR
	 SELECT att1, att2
	 FROM mytable
	 WHERE att1 LIKE :var ESCAPE '\\';
    EXEC SQL OPEN mycursor;
}

Stack trace was obtained using a snapshot from about 2 weeks ago, ECPG from
the 7.4.1 release segfaults also.

#0  0x4015fdcb in chunk_free () from /lib/libc.so.6

#6  0x401089ed in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6


Another problem that's giving me headaches trying to find a workaround for
is the following use of variables as data sources in INSERT/UPDATE
statements:

	:myarray[index[10]]

Any comments, suggestions, hints ?   Thanks a lot,

Jürgen
