A string buffers which were included in the 'view' data structure
were allocated on the stack, causing an invalid pointer when used
after the function returned.
The fix: use copy of values for view->md5 & view->queries
The abi_check target instroduced as part of WL#4380 verifies
changes to mysql.h. mysql.h in turn includes mysql_version.h.
mysql_version.h is a file that is generated during the configure
phase. We must ensure that mysql_version.h is cleaned only during
distclean and not during clean.
Problem: mysqld doesn't detect that enum data must be reinserted performing
'ALTER TABLE' in some cases.
Fix: reinsert data altering an enum field if enum values are changed.
- Make send_row_on_empty_set() return FALSE when simplify_cond() has found out
that HAVING is always FALSE
re-committing to put the fix into 5.0 and 5.1
Visual Studio 2008 Express edition does not include message compiler mc.exe
It is not possible to build MySQL server if only VC2008 Express is installed,
because we use mc.exe to generate event log messages.
This patch removes the mc.exe dependency. Generated files message.h,
message.rc and MSG00001.bin are checked into source code repository.
Instructions on how to add or change messages are added to messages.mc
The problem was that the server did not robustly handle a
unilateral roll back issued by the Resource Manager (RM)
due to a resource deadlock within the transaction branch.
By not acknowledging the roll back, the server (TM) would
eventually corrupt the XA transaction state and crash.
The solution is to mark the transaction as rollback-only
if the RM indicates that it rolled back its branch of the
transaction.

Debug builds of MySQL 5.1, 6.0 with Sun Studio 12 broke because of
use of gcc specific feature.
The fix is to replace __FUNCTION__ with the corresponding character string
Server crashed during a sort order optimization
of a dependent subquery:
SELECT
(SELECT t1.a FROM t1, t2
WHERE t1.a = t2.b AND t2.a = t3.c
ORDER BY t1.a)
FROM t3;
Bitmap of tables, that the reference to outer table
column uses, in addition to the regular table bit
has the OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT bit set.
The only_eq_ref_tables function traverses this map
bit by bit simultaneously with join->map2table list.
Obviously join->map2table never contains an entry
for the OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT pseudo-table, so the
server crashed there.
The only_eq_ref_tables function has been modified
to traverse regular table bits only like the
update_depend_map function (resetting of the
OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT there is enough, but
resetting of the whole set of PSEUDO_TABLE_BITS
is used there for sure).
The problem is that the function used by the server to increase
the thread's priority (pthread_setschedparam) has the unintended
side-effect of changing the calling thread scheduling policy,
possibly overwriting a scheduling policy set by a sysadmin.
The solution is to rely on the pthread_setschedprio function, if
available, as it only changes the scheduling priority and does not
change the scheduling policy. This function is usually available on
Solaris and Linux, but it use won't work by default on Linux as the
the default scheduling policy only accepts a static priority 0 -- this
is acceptable for now as priority changing on Linux is broken anyway.
The problem is that MySQL's 'fast' mutex implementation uses the
random() routine to determine the spin delay. Unfortunately, the
routine interface is not thead-safe and some implementations (eg:
glibc) might use a internal lock to protect the RNG state, causing
excessive locking contention if lots of threads are spinning on
a MySQL's 'fast' mutex. The code was also misusing the value
of the RAND_MAX macro, this macro represents the largest value
that can be returned from the rand() function, not random().
The solution is to use the quite simple Park-Miller random number
generator. The initial seed is set to 1 because the previously used
generator wasn't being seeded -- the initial seed is 1 if srandom()
is not called.
Futhermore, the 'fast' mutex implementation has several shortcomings
and provides no measurable performance benefit. Therefore, its use is
not recommended unless it provides directly measurable results.
The problem is that the offset argument of the limit clause
might be truncated on a 32-bits server built without big
tables support. The truncation was happening because the
original 64-bits long argument was being cast to a 32-bits
(ha_rows) offset counter.
The solution is to check if the conversing resulted in value
truncation and if so, the offset is set to the maximum possible
value that can fit on the type.
If delayed insert fails to upgrade the lock it was not
freeing the temporary memory storage used to keep
newly constructed blob values in memory.
Fixed by iterating over the remaining rows in the delayed
insert rowset and freeing the blob storage for each row.
No test suite because it involves concurrent delayed inserts
on a table and cannot easily be made deterministic.
Added a correct valgrind suppression for Fedora 9.
