with gcc 4.3.2
This patch fixes a number of GCC warnings about variables used
before initialized. A new macro UNINIT_VAR() is introduced for
use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.
with gcc 4.3.2
Compiling MySQL with gcc 4.3.2 and later produces a number of
warnings, many of which are new with the recent compiler
versions.
This bug will be resolved in more than one patch to limit the
size of changesets. This is the first patch, fixing a number
of the warnings, predominantly "suggest using parentheses
around && in ||", and empty for and while bodies.
The crash happens due to wrong max_length value which is set on
Item_func_round::fix_length_and_dec() stage. The value is set to
args[0]->max_length which is too big in case of LONGTEXT(LONGBLOB) fields.
The fix is to set max_length using float_length() function.
Problem: storing "SELECT ... INTO @var ..." results in variables we used val_xxx()
methods which returned results of the current row.
So, in some cases (e.g. SELECT DISTINCT, GROUP BY or HAVING) we got data
from the first row of a new group (where we evaluate a clause) instead of
data from the last row of the previous group.
Fix: use val_xxx_result() counterparts to get proper results.
When the thread executing a DDL was killed after finished its
execution but before writing the binlog event, the error code in
the binlog event could be set wrongly to ER_SERVER_SHUTDOWN or
ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED.
This patch fixed the problem by ignoring the kill status when
constructing the event for DDL statements.
This patch also included the following changes in order to
provide the test case.
1) modified mysqltest to support variable for connection command
2) modified mysql-test-run.pl, add new variable MYSQL_SLAVE to
run mysql client against the slave mysqld.

MATCH() function accepts column list as an argument. It was possible to override
this requirement with aliased non-column select expression. Which results in
server crash.
With this fix aliased non-column select expressions are not accepted by MATCH()
function, returning an error.
- Remove bothersome warning messages. This change focuses on the warnings
that are covered by the ignore file: support-files/compiler_warnings.supp.
- Strings are guaranteed to be max uint in length
We pretended that TIMEDIFF() would always return positive results;
this gave strange results in comparisons of the TIMEDIFF(low,hi)<TIME(0)
type that rendered a negative result, but still gave false in comparison.
We also inadvertantly dropped the sign when converting times to
decimal.
CAST(time AS DECIMAL) handles signs of the times correctly.
TIMEDIFF() marked up as signed. Time/date comparison code switched to
signed for clarity.
Item_func_div didn't calculate the precision of the result properly.
The result of 5/0.0001 is 5000 so we have to add decimals of the divisor
to the planned precision.

With fix for bug 25951 index hints are ignored for fulltext
searches, as handling of fulltext indexes is different from
handling regular indexes. Meaning it is not possible to
implement true index hints support for fulltext indexes within
the scope of current fulltext architecture.
The problem is that prior to fix for bug 25951, some useful
index hints still could be given for boolean mode searches.
This patch implements special index hints support for fulltext
indexes with the following characteristics:
- all index hints are still ignored for NLQ mode searches -
it cannot work without an index;
- for 5.1 and up index hints FOR ORDER BY and FOR GROUP BY are
still ignored for fulltext indexes;
- boolean mode searches honor USE/FORCE/IGNORE INDEX hints;
- as opposed to index hints for regular indexes, index hints
for fulltext BOOLEAN mode searches affect the usage of the
index for the whole query.
IS NULL was not checking the correct row in a HAVING context.
At the first row of a new group (where the HAVING clause is evaluated)
the column and SELECT list references in the HAVING clause should
refer to the last row of the previous group and not to the current one.
This was not done for IS NULL, because it was using Item::is_null() doesn't
have a Item_is_null_result() counterpart to access the data from the
last row of the previous group. Note that all the Item::val_xxx() functions
(e.g. Item::val_int()) have their _result counterparts (e.g. Item::val_int_result()).
Fixed by implementing a is_null_result() (similarly to int_result()) and
calling this instead of is_null() column and SELECT list references inside
the HAVING clause.
min() and max() functions are implemented in MySQL as macros.
This means that max(a,b) is expanded to: ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
Note how 'a' is quoted two times.
Now imagine 'a' is a recursive function call that's several 10s of levels deep.
And the recursive function does max() with a function arg as well to dive into
recursion.
This means that simple function call can take most of the clock time.
Identified and fixed several such calls to max()/min() : including the IF()
sql function implementation.
The problem is that passing anything other than a integer to a limit
clause in a prepared statement would fail. This limitation was introduced
to avoid replication problems (e.g: replicating the statement with a
string argument would cause a parse failure in the slave).
The solution is to convert arguments to the limit clause to a integer
value and use this converted value when persisting the query to the log.
Problem: SLEEP(0) never returns on 64-bit Mac OS X due to a bug in
pthread_cond_timedwait().
Fix: when given a very short timeout just return immediately.
Simple subselects are pulled into upper selects. This operation substitutes the
pulled subselect for the first item from the select list of the subselect.
If an alias is defined for a subselect it is inherited by the replacement item.
As this is done after fix_fields phase this alias isn't showed if the
replacement item is a stored function. This happens because the Item_func_sp::make_field
function makes send field from its result_field and ignores the defined alias.
Now when an alias is defined the Item_func_sp::make_field function sets it for
the returned field.
The ROUND(X, D) function would change the Item::decimals field during
execution to achieve the effect of a dynamic number of decimal digits.
This caused a series of bugs:
Bug #30617:Round() function not working under some circumstances in InnoDB
Bug #33402:ROUND with decimal and non-constant cannot round to 0 decimal places
Bug #30889:filesort and order by with float/numeric crashes server
Fixed by never changing the number of shown digits for DECIMAL when
used with a nonconstant number of decimal digits.
There's currently no way of knowing the determinicity of an UDF.
And the optimizer and the sequence() UDFs were making wrong
assumptions about what the is_const member means.
Plus there was no implementation of update_system_tables()
causing the optimizer to overwrite the information returned by
the <udf>_init function.
Fixed by equating the assumptions about the semantics of
is_const and providing a implementation of update_used_tables().
Added a TODO item for the UDF API change needed to make a better
implementation.
Sending several "KILL QUERY" statements to target a connection running
"SELECT SLEEP" could freeze the server.
The locking order in Item_func_sleep was wrong and this could lead to a
dead lock.
This patch solves the issue by resolving the locking order properly.
There are two problems with ROUND(X, D) on an exact numeric
(DECIMAL, NUMERIC type) field of a table:
1) The implementation of the ROUND function would change the number of decimal
places regardless of the value decided upon in fix_length_and_dec. When the
number of decimal places is not constant, this would cause an inconsistent
state where the number of digits was less than the number of decimal places,
which crashes filesort.
Fixed by not allowing the ROUND operation to add any more decimal places than
was decided in fix_length_and_dec.
2) fix_length_and_dec would allow the number of decimals to be greater than
the maximium configured value for constant values of D. This led to the same
crash as in (1).
Fixed by not allowing the above in fix_length_and_dec.
ucs2 doesn't provide required by fulltext ctype array. Crash
happens because fulltext attempts to use unitialized ctype
array.
Fixed by converting ucs2 fields to compatible utf8 analogue.
Previously, UDF *_init functions were passed constant strings with erroneous lengths. The length came from the containing variable's size, not the length of the value itself.
Now the *_init functions get the constant as a null terminated string with the correct length supplied too.
This actually, fix for the patch for bug-27354. The problem with
the patch was that Item_func_sp::used_tables() was updated, but
Item_func_sp::const_item() was not. So, for Item_func_sp, we had
the following inconsistency:
- used_tables() returned RAND_TABLE, which means that the item
can produce "random" results;
- but const_item() returned TRUE, which means that the item is
a constant one.
The fix is to change Item_func_sp::const_item() behaviour: it must
return TRUE (an item is a constant one) only if a stored function
is deterministic and each of its arguments (if any) is a constant
item.
