pgsql-server/src backend/commands/variable.c b ...

From
tgl@developer.postgresql.org (Tom Lane)
Date:
CVSROOT:    /cvsroot
Module name:    pgsql-server
Changes by:    tgl@developer.postgresql.org    03/05/17 21:06:26

Modified files:
    src/backend/commands: variable.c
    src/backend/utils/adt: datetime.c
    src/include/utils: datetime.h

Log message:
    Add code to test for unknown timezone names (following some ideas from
    Ross Reedstrom, a couple months back) and to detect timezones that are
    using leap-second timekeeping.  The unknown-zone-name test is pretty
    heuristic and ugly, but it seems better than the old behavior of just
    switching to GMT given a bad name.  Also make DecodePosixTimezone() a
    tad more robust.

Tom, I am seeing compile failures because of this change.  I don't have
a global timezone here but have the struct tm.  I see in other uses of
timezone that we test for 'struct tm' and than if it doesn't exist, use
timezone.

Can you make that change?
