OPTIMIZE TABLE with myisam_repair_threads > 1 performs a non-quick
parallel repair. This means that it does not only rebuild all
indexes, but also the data file.
Non-quick parallel repair works so that there is one thread per
index. The first of the threads rebuilds also the new data file.
The problem was that all threads shared the read io cache on the
old data file. If there were holes (deleted records) in the table,
the first thread skipped them, writing only contiguous, non-deleted
records to the new data file. Then it built the new index so that
its entries pointed to the correct record positions. But the other
threads didn't know the new record positions, but put the positions
from the old data file into the index.
The new design is so that there is a shared io cache which is filled
by the first thread (the data file writer) with the new contiguous
records and read by the other threads. Now they know the new record
positions.
Another problem was that for the parallel repair of compressed
tables a common bit_buff and rec_buff was used. I changed it so
that thread specific buffers are used for parallel repair.
A similar problem existed for checksum calculation. I made this
multi-thread safe too.
Fix when __attribute__() is stubbed out, add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT() for specifying
__attribute__((format(...))) safely, make more use of the format attribute,
and fix some of the warnings that this turns up (plus a bonus unrelated one).
and BUG#19208 "Test 'rpl000017' hangs on Windows".
Both bugs are caused by attempting to delete an opened
file and to create immediatedly a new one with the same
name. On Windows it can be supported only on NT-platforms
(by using FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode and with renaming the
file before deletion). Because deleting not-closed files
is not supported on all platforms (e.g. Win 98|ME) this
is to be considered harmful and should be eliminated by
a "code redesign".
rename *.t* to *-t* to be automake-friendly
simplify Makefiles
test_atomic.c:
move to unittest, add GPL comment, fix warnings, convert to tap framework.
configure:
remove custom tests for available types, use AC_CHECK_TYPE instead
x86-gcc.h:
fix gcc -ansi errors while maintaining readability
ignore:
added *-t
- WL#3158: IM: Instance configuration extensions;
- WL#3159: IM: --bootstrap and --start-default-instance modes
The following new statements have been added:
- CREATE INSTANCE;
- DROP INSTANCE;
The behaviour of the following statements have been changed:
- SET;
- UNSET;
- FLUSH INSTANCES;
- SHOW INSTANCES;
- SHOW INSTANCE OPTIONS;
Added support for key_block_size to MyISAM.
Simplify interface to 'new Key' to make it easier to add new key options.
mysqld option --new is used to define where key options are printed.
(In 5.3 we should move all key options to after key part definition to avoid problem with reserved names)
Fixed some compiler warnings and a memory leak in ssl
Bug#17667: An attacker has the opportunity to bypass query logging.
This adds a new, local-only printf format specifier to our *printf functions
that allows us to print known-size buffers that must not be interpreted as
NUL-terminated "strings."
It uses this format-specifier to print to the log, thus fixing this
problem.
It was impossible to create some table names on Windows
(e.g. LPT1, AUX, COM1, etc).
Fixed to pad dangerous names with thee "at" signs
(e.g. LPT1@@@, AUX@@@, COM1@@@, and so on).
- 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.
on AIX 5.2"
Added dummy definition of MAP_NORESERVE for systems which doesn't provide it,
removed duplicates
my_sys.h:
added definition for MAP_NORESERVE
(for Irix and AIX systems)
sql_map.cc:
removed definition of MAP_NORESERVE
mi_packrec.c:
removed definition of MAP_NORESERVE and MMAP_PRIVATE
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.
so a typo on flags will go unnoticed; I put flags in this my_free() definition (as a no-op which
will still make the compiler check correctness of the flags). Applied: this caught a typo in my_realloc.c. Kindly approved by Konstantin and Mats.
