to the autotools option mysql-maintainer-mode. This option is
intended to set a few flags that should be activated by anyone
doing MySQL development, regardless of the build type. Also, the
flags are only set by the very end of the platform checks as
to not disturb fragile checks.
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
cmake/build_configurations/mysql_release.cmake
- Corrected spelling ENABLE_LOCAL_INFILE => ENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE
- In addition to "RelWithDebInfo", set target "Release" and "Debug"
- Set Debug flags
- Enabled SSL on Mac OS X
- For gcc builds, set RELEASE and DEBUG flags as well
- For g++ builds, added "-fno-implicit-templates"
- Use "-O" (gcc -O1) for optimized binaries, as "DEBUG" in out case
is more about enabling trace support to the server, no optimization
makes binaries too slow to be practical to reproduce problems
cmake/os/WindowsCache.cmake
- Removed unused HAVE_SYS_IOCTL
config.h.cmake
- Added header checks and missing defines
- Removed unused HAVE_SYS_IOCTL
- Grouped and uncommented some HAVE_* that are really not
defines, but internal variables used in the CMake setup,
- Added hard coded flags for HP-UX and Mac OS X
configure.cmake
- Added header checks and missing defines
- Removed unused HAVE_SYS_IOCTL
- "sys/dir.h" test needs "sys/types.h"
- Corrected syntax for "sys/ptem.h" test
- Don't exclude test for some types if Mac OS X, harmless
to do the test and we want the HAVE_<type> settings
- Added hard coded flags for HP-UX and Mac OS X
extra/yassl/CMakeLists.txt
extra/yassl/taocrypt/CMakeLists.txt
- Added missing source file "template_instnt.cpp"
- Update/fix file layouts for each package type, add new types for
native package formats including deb, rpm and svr4.
- Build all plugins, including debug versions
- Update compiler flags to match current release
- Add missing @VAR@ expansions
- Install correct mysqclient library symlinks
- Fix icc/ia64 builds
- Fix install of libmysqld-debug
- Don't include mysql_embedded
- Remove unpackaged manual pages to avoid missing files warnings
- Don't install mtr's test suite
- Introduce MANUFACTURER setting to set package manufacturer via CMake.
- Introduce COMMUNITY_BUILD setting to be passed on to packaging
(not used here, but required for our own packages to determine what
added files should be included in the package).
- Create an RTF version of the COPYING text file and use that as the
default license (can be overridden by providing a COPYING.rtf file).
- Allow passing extra arguments to candle and light via environment.
(Need -sval in pushbuild, but want validation elsewhere.)
- Introduce a custom action that stops and uninstalls the service
if the user installed one that points into the MySQL directory
that is being removed.
(Our own packages historically used the instance configuration wizard
for this, but it wouldn't be very nice if MSIs created by our users
couldn't remove it too.)
- Make install location configurable again ("Browse" button in custom
installation was greyed out before).
- Remove registry keys that use "MySQL AB"; they should only be set in
packages provided by us. Users can set their own registry keys if
they want to.
suffer. The problem was that when custom C flags were defined with in environment
variable CFLAGS, WITH_DEBUG did not have any effect. Also, switch from
WITH_DEBUG=ON to WITH_DEBUG=OFF was not handled correctly .Expected is switch
to with RelwithDebInfo or when custom compiler flags are defined, to None.
- Remove INSTALL-BINARY from installed docs directory, we provide a copy
in the root directory (but perhaps this should be revisited later).
- Disable audit_null and daemon_example plugins.
- Fix the docs directory.
- Remove mysql-test/Makefile.in
- Build and install mysql_tzinfo_to_sql
- Remove share/charsets/languages.html
using cmake option INSTALL_LAYOUT=STANDALONE would produce the layout as in
tar.gz or zip packages.
INSTALL_LAYOUT=UNIX will produce unixish install layout (with mysqld being in sbin subdirectory , libs in lib/mysql etc). This layout is used for RPM packages.
Subtle differences in both packages unfortunately lead to the need to recompile MySQL to use with other package type - as otherwise for example default plugins or data directories would be wrong set.
There are numerous other variables that allow fine-tuning packaging layout. (INSTALL_BINDIR, INSTALL_LIBDIR , INSTALL_PLUGINDIR etc).
This options are different from autotools as they do not expect full paths to directories, but only subdirectory of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
There are 2 special options that expect full directory paths
- MYSQL_DATADIR that defines default MYSQL data directory (autotools equivalent
is --localstatedir)
- SYSCONFDIR can be added to search my.cnf search path (autotools equivalent is --sysconfdir)
boolean variables to ensure option is in cache. Also use documented CMAKE_USE_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE feature instead of INCLUDE.
- remove superfluous tests in innobase's CMakeLists.txt
MYSQL_ADD_EXECUTABLE will instructs CPack where to install the exe. On Windows, it also
adds version resource and if -DSIGNCODE was given, will sign the exe in packaging step.
