1. dbug state is now local to a thread
2. new macros: DBUG_EXPLAIN, DBUG_EXPLAIN_INITIAL,
DBUG_SET, DBUG_SET_INITIAL, DBUG_EVALUATE, DBUG_EVALUATE_IF
3. macros are do{}while(0) wrapped
4. incremental modifications to the dbug state (e.g. "+d,info:-t")
5. dbug code cleanup, style fixes
6. _db_on_ and DEBUGGER_ON/OFF removed
7. rest of MySQL code fixed because of 3 (missing ;) and 6
8. dbug manual updated
9. server variable @@debug (global and local) to control dbug from SQL!
a. -#T to print timestamps in the log
Don't display charsets/collations with HIDDEN flag.
ctype-utf8.c:
Adding HIDDEN flag to "filename"
Changeing ID to 17 which was previosly
used by deprecated "win1251", removed in 4.1.
charset-def.c:
Adding "filename" as a hidden charset, for test purposes.
m_ctype.h:
Adding MY_CS_HIDDEN flag,
to hide charsets and collations from
being displayed in SHOW.
Optimised version of ADD/DROP/REORGANIZE partitions for
non-NDB storage engines.
New syntax to handle REBUILD/OPTIMIZE/ANALYZE/CHECK/REPAIR partitions
Quite a few bug fixes
when high concurrency": remove HASH::current_record and make it
an external search parameter, so that it can not be the cause of a
race condition under high concurrent load.
The bug was in a race condition in table_hash_search,
when column_priv_hash.current_record was overwritten simultaneously
by multiple threads, causing the search for a suitable grant record
to fail.
No test case as the bug is repeatable only under concurrent load.
- Encoding itself, implemented as a charset
"filename". Originally planned to use '.'
as an escape character, but now changed to '@'
for two reasons: "ls" does not return
file names starting with '.' considering them
as a kind of hidden files; some platforms
do not allow several dots in a file name.
- replacing many calls of my_snprintf() and
strnxmov() to the new build_table_filename().
- Adding MY_APPEND_EXT mysys flag, to append
an extention rather that replace it.
- Replacing all numeric constants in fn_format
flag arguments to their mysys definitions, e.g.
MY_UNPACK_FILENAME,
- Predictability in several function/methods:
when a table name can appear with or withot .frm
extension. Some functions/methods were changed
so accept names strictly with .frm, other - strictly
without .frm extensions. Several DBUG_ASSERTs were
added to check whether an extension is passed.
Many files:
table name to file name encoding
mysql_priv.h:
Prototypes for new table name encoding tools.
ctype-utf8.c:
Implementing "filename" charset for
table name to file name encoding.
row0mysql.c:
Fixing table name prefix.
mf_format.c:
Adding MY_APPEND_EXT processing.
Many files:
Fixing tests.
my_sys.h:
Adding new flag to append rather than replace an extension.
m_ctype.h:
Adding "filename" charset definition.
QUEUE implementation working now. this should be ready more or less
for testing once the debug output is being cleaned and some things
around DYNAMIC_ARRAY are cleaned
- fix handling in case of errors that lead to crashes, now no more crashes
in case of table corruption and such.
several times, it was causing corruption of charset data stored in once_mem_pool.
my_end() deallocated once_mem pool, but did not put a flag that charsets have
to be reloaded. The fix addresses this problem.
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
my_sopen() on win32 which allows to use FILE_SHARE_DELETE flag to
allow deleting opened files. my_sopen() implementation is added to
support this functionality.
