Search conditions were evaluated using val_int(), which was wrong.
Fixing the code to use val_bool() instead.
Details:
- Adding a new item_base_t::IS_COND flag which marks Items used
as <search condition> in WHERE, HAVING, JOIN ON, CASE WHEN clauses.
The flag is at the parse time.
These expressions must be evaluated using val_bool() rather than val_int().
Note, the optimizer creates more Items which are used as search conditions.
Most of these items are not marked with IS_COND yet. This is OK for now,
but eventually these Items can also be fixed to have the flag.
- Adding a method Item::is_cond() which tests if the Item has the IS_COND flag.
- Implementing Item_cache_bool. It evaluates the cached expression using
val_bool() rather than val_int().
Overriding Type_handler_bool::Item_get_cache() to create Item_cache_bool.
- Implementing Item::save_bool_in_field(). It uses val_bool() rather than
val_int() to evaluate the expression.
- Implementing Type_handler_bool::Item_save_in_field()
using Item::save_bool_in_field().
- Fixing all Item_bool_func descendants to implement a virtual val_bool()
rather than a virtual val_int().
- To find places where val_int() should be fixed to val_bool(), a few
DBUG_ASSERT(!is_cond()) where added into val_int() implementations
of selected (most frequent) classes:
Item_field
Item_str_func
Item_datefunc
Item_timefunc
Item_datetimefunc
Item_cache_bool
Item_bool_func
Item_func_hybrid_field_type
Item_basic_constant descendants
- Fixing all places where DBUG_ASSERT() happened during an "mtr" run
to use val_bool() instead of val_int().
This patch is the result of running
run-clang-tidy -fix -header-filter=.* -checks='-*,modernize-use-equals-default' .
Code style changes have been done on top. The result of this change
leads to the following improvements:
1. Binary size reduction.
* For a -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release build, the binary size is reduced by
~400kb.
* A raw -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release reduces the binary size by ~1.4kb.
2. Compiler can better understand the intent of the code, thus it leads
to more optimization possibilities. Additionally it enabled detecting
unused variables that had an empty default constructor but not marked
so explicitly.
Particular change required following this patch in sql/opt_range.cc
result_keys, an unused template class Bitmap now correctly issues
unused variable warnings.
Setting Bitmap template class constructor to default allows the compiler
to identify that there are no side-effects when instantiating the class.
Previously the compiler could not issue the warning as it assumed Bitmap
class (being a template) would not be performing a NO-OP for its default
constructor. This prevented the "unused variable warning".
Make the Range Optimizer support descending index key parts.
We follow the approach taken in MySQL-8.
See HowRangeOptimizerHandlesDescKeyparts for the description.
- Moved out creating StringBuffers in loops and instead create them
outside and just reset the buffer if it was not allocated (to avoid
a possible malloc/free for every entry)
Other things related to set_buffer_if_not_allocated()
- Changed Valuebuffer to not call set_buffer_if_not_allocated() when
it is created.
- Fixed geometry functions to reset string length before calling
String::reserve(). This is because one should not access length()
of an undefined.
- Added Item_func_conv_charset::save_in_field() as the item is using
str_value to store cached values, which conflicts with
Item::save_str_in_field().
- Changed Item_proc_string to not store the string value in sql_string
as this clashes with Item::save_str_in_field().
- Locally store value of full_name_cstring() in analyse::end_of_records()
as Item::save_str_in_field() may overwrite it.
- Marked some strings as set_thread_specific()
- Added String::free_buffer() to be used internally in String functions
to just free the buffer but not reset other String values.
- Fixed uses_buffer_owned_by() to check for allocated length instead of
strlength, which could be marked MEM_UNDEFINED().
Changes:
- To detect automatic strlen() I removed the methods in String that
uses 'const char *' without a length:
- String::append(const char*)
- Binary_string(const char *str)
- String(const char *str, CHARSET_INFO *cs)
- append_for_single_quote(const char *)
All usage of append(const char*) is changed to either use
String::append(char), String::append(const char*, size_t length) or
String::append(LEX_CSTRING)
- Added STRING_WITH_LEN() around constant string arguments to
String::append()
- Added overflow argument to escape_string_for_mysql() and
escape_quotes_for_mysql() instead of returning (size_t) -1 on overflow.
This was needed as most usage of the above functions never tested the
result for -1 and would have given wrong results or crashes in case
of overflows.
- Added Item_func_or_sum::func_name_cstring(), which returns LEX_CSTRING.
Changed all Item_func::func_name()'s to func_name_cstring()'s.
The old Item_func_or_sum::func_name() is now an inline function that
returns func_name_cstring().str.
- Changed Item::mode_name() and Item::func_name_ext() to return
LEX_CSTRING.
- Changed for some functions the name argument from const char * to
to const LEX_CSTRING &:
- Item::Item_func_fix_attributes()
- Item::check_type_...()
- Type_std_attributes::agg_item_collations()
- Type_std_attributes::agg_item_set_converter()
- Type_std_attributes::agg_arg_charsets...()
- Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_result()
- Type_handler_geometry::check_type_geom_or_binary()
- Type_handler::Item_func_or_sum_illegal_param()
- Predicant_to_list_comparator::add_value_skip_null()
- Predicant_to_list_comparator::add_value()
- cmp_item_row::prepare_comparators()
- cmp_item_row::aggregate_row_elements_for_comparison()
- Cursor_ref::print_func()
- Removes String_space() as it was only used in one cases and that
could be simplified to not use String_space(), thanks to the fixed
my_vsnprintf().
- Added some const LEX_CSTRING's for common strings:
- NULL_clex_str, DATA_clex_str, INDEX_clex_str.
- Changed primary_key_name to a LEX_CSTRING
- Renamed String::set_quick() to String::set_buffer_if_not_allocated() to
clarify what the function really does.
- Rename of protocol function:
bool store(const char *from, CHARSET_INFO *cs) to
bool store_string_or_null(const char *from, CHARSET_INFO *cs).
This was done to both clarify the difference between this 'store' function
and also to make it easier to find unoptimal usage of store() calls.
- Added Protocol::store(const LEX_CSTRING*, CHARSET_INFO*)
- Changed some 'const char*' arrays to instead be of type LEX_CSTRING.
- class Item_func_units now used LEX_CSTRING for name.
Other things:
- Fixed a bug in mysql.cc:construct_prompt() where a wrong escape character
in the prompt would cause some part of the prompt to be duplicated.
- Fixed a lot of instances where the length of the argument to
append is known or easily obtain but was not used.
- Removed some not needed 'virtual' definition for functions that was
inherited from the parent. I added override to these.
- Fixed Ordered_key::print() to preallocate needed buffer. Old code could
case memory overruns.
- Simplified some loops when adding char * to a String with delimiters.
This was done to simplify copying of with_* flags
Other things:
- Changed Flags to C++ enums, which enables gdb to print
out bit values for the flags. This also enables compiler
errors if one tries to manipulate a non existing bit in
a variable.
- Added set_maybe_null() as a shortcut as setting the
MAYBE_NULL flags was used in a LOT of places.
- Renamed PARAM flag to SP_VAR to ensure it's not confused with persistent
statement parameters.
The reason for the change is that neither clang or gcc can do efficient
code when several bit fields are change at the same time or when copying
one or more bits between identical bit fields.
Updated bits explicitely with & and | is MUCH more efficient than what
current compilers can do.
For some reason, adding -fsanitize=undefined (cmake -DWITH_UBSAN=ON)
to the compilation flags will cause even more warnings to be emitted.
The warnings do look bogus, but the code can be simplified.
