Description:
------------
We experienced this issue when a string was inserted in a table column of type NVARCHAR and that string ended with a 4 bytes unicode character, but the column was not large enough to contain the whole string, so the string got truncated, but instead of truncating the whole 4 bytes character it got truncated in the middle (because SQL Server stores string as USC-2, 2 bytes per character) and becoming an invalid unicode character. With SQL Server Management Studio, we can still query that column without issues, except that the character is replaced by an invalid character (�)

Test script:
---------------
$conn = new PDO('dblib:host=myhost.local;dbname=MyDB;charset=UTF-8;', 'myuser', 'mypass');

$sql = "DECLARE @test AS NVARCHAR(1) = N'????'; SELECT @test AS test;";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();

// Skip rowcount result
$stmt->nextRowset();

$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

echo $row['test'];

Expected result:
----------------
Outputs truncated string/byte like � or an empty string, does not segfault.

Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault

SQL query got saved badly, should be :

$sql = "DECLARE @test AS NVARCHAR(1) = N'????'; SELECT @test AS test;";

Arggggg cannot even post the bug correctly,,, it does not appear correctly here.... character that produce the bug is the christmas tree : https://emojipedia.org/christmas-tree/

// ???? should be a christmas tree emoji
$sql = "DECLARE @test AS NVARCHAR(1) = N'????'; SELECT @test AS test;";

Thanks for catching this. I'm able to reproduce. Will follow up when I have a fix.

Dug into this some more. I believe the bug is with FreeTDS, not pdo_dblib.

Here's the stack trace I pulled out:

The main area of interest is in frame #2, when it tries to build an error string. I _think_ what's happening is that the argument list passed to tds_vstrbuild() is created with 0 rather than 2 elements. But here is where my comfort with this code breaks down. I'd suggest opening an issue on their repo[1]. If feedback is slow coming, you could try dropping a note on their mail list[2]. Hope this helps!

In case it's helpful for later, here's the start of a .phpt test:

--TEST--
PDO_DBLIB: segfault when fetching a Unicode character
--SKIPIF--
<?php
if (!extension_loaded('pdo_dblib')) die('skip not loaded');
require dirname(__FILE__) . '/config.inc';
?>
--FILE--
<?php
require dirname(__FILE__) . '/config.inc';

$stmt = $db->query("DECLARE @test AS NVARCHAR(1) = N'\u{1F384}'; SELECT @test AS test;");

var_dump($stmt->nextRowset());
var_dump($stmt->fetchColumn());
?>
--EXPECT--
