- Adding a new argument "flag" to MY_COLLATION_HANDLER::strnncollsp_nchars()
and a flag MY_STRNNCOLLSP_NCHARS_EMULATE_TRIMMED_TRAILING_SPACES.
The flag defines if strnncollsp_nchars() should emulate trailing spaces
which were possibly trimmed earlier (e.g. in InnoDB CHAR compression).
This is important for NOPAD collations.
For example, with this input:
- str1= 'a ' (Latin letter a followed by one space)
- str2= 'a ' (Latin letter a followed by two spaces)
- nchars= 3
if the flag is given, strnncollsp_nchars() will virtually restore
one trailing space to str1 up to nchars (3) characters and compare two
strings as equal:
- str1= 'a ' (one extra trailing space emulated)
- str2= 'a ' (as is)
If the flag is not given, strnncollsp_nchars() does not add trailing
virtual spaces, so in case of a NOPAD collation, str1 will be compared
as less than str2 because it is shorter.
- Field_string::cmp_prefix() now passes the new flag.
Field_varstring::cmp_prefix() and Field_blob::cmp_prefix() do
not pass the new flag.
- The branch in cmp_whole_field() in storage/innobase/rem/rem0cmp.cc
(which handles the CHAR data type) now also passed the new flag.
- Fixing UCA collations to respect the new flag.
Other collations are possibly also affected, however
I had no success in making an SQL script demonstrating the problem.
Other collations will be extended to respect this flags in a separate
patch later.
- Changing the meaning of the last parameter of Field::cmp_prefix()
from "number of bytes" (internal length)
to "number of characters" (user visible length).
The code calling cmp_prefix() from handler.cc was wrong.
After this change, the call in handler.cc became correct.
The code calling cmp_prefix() from key_rec_cmp() in key.cc
was adjusted according to this change.
- Old strnncollsp_nchar() related tests in unittest/strings/strings-t.c
now pass the new flag.
A few new tests also were added, without the flag.
This patch ensures that all identical character sets shares the same
cs->csname.
This allows us to replace strcmp() in my_charset_same() with comparisons
of pointers. This fixes a long standing performance issue that could cause
as strcmp() for every item sent trough the protocol class to the end user.
One consequence of this patch is that we don't allow one to add a character
definition in the Index.xml file that changes the csname of an existing
character set. This is by design as changing character set names of existing
ones is extremely dangerous, especially as some storage engines just records
character set numbers.
As we now have a hash over character set's csname, we can in the future
use that for faster access to a specific character set. This could be done
by changing the hash to non unique and use the hash to find the next
character set with same csname.
The code did not take into account that:
- U+005C (backslash) can occupy more than mbminlen characters (e.g. in sjis)
- Some character sets do not have a code for U+005C (e.g. swe7)
Adding a new function my_wc_to_printable into MY_CHARSET_HANDLER to
cover all special cases easier.
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
- Moving detection of the MY_CS_CSSORT, MY_CS_PUREASCII, MY_CS_NONASCII
flags of loadable collations from add_collation() in mysys.c
to my_cset_init_8bit() and my_coll_init_simple() in ctype-simple.c.
- Adding tests that these flags are set properly for loadable collations
- Moving LDML test related *.xml files from mysql-test/std_data/
to mysql-test/std_data/ldml/, as there will be more *.xml test files
The Item_string constructors called set_name() on the source string,
which was wrong because in case of UCS2/UTF16/UTF32 the source value
might be a not well formed string (e.g. have incomplete leftmost character).
Now set_name() is called on str_value after its copied
(with optionally left zero padding) from the source string.
- MDEV-6694 Illegal mix of collation with a PS parameter
Item_param::convert_str_value() did not set repertoire.
Introducing a new structure MY_STRING_METADATA to collect
character length and repertoire of a string in a single loop,
to avoid two separate loops. Adding a new class Item_basic_value::Metadata
as a convenience wrapper around MY_STRING_METADATA, to reuse the
code between Item_string and Item_param.
"mtr ctype_ldml" failed when compiled with "gcc -funsigned-char".
Changing the code not to depend on the signed/unsigned compiler defaults
for the "char" data type.
