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.
A stored procedure involving substrings could crash the server on certain
platforms because of invalid memory reads.
During storing the new blob-field value, the cached value's address range
overlapped that of the new field value. This caused problems when the
cached value storage was reallocated to provide access for a new
characater set representation. The patch checks the address ranges, and if
they overlap, the new field value is copied to a new storage before it is
converted to the new character set.
returns unexpected result
If:
1. a table has a not nullable BIT column c1 with a length
shorter than 8 bits and some additional not nullable
columns c2 etc, and
2. the WHERE clause is like: (c1 = constant) AND c2 ...,
the SELECT query returns unexpected result set.
The server stores BIT columns in a tricky way to save disk
space: if column's bit length is not divisible by 8, the
server places reminder bits among the null bits at the start
of a record. The rest bytes are stored in the record itself,
and Field::ptr points to these rest bytes.
However if a bit length of the whole column is less than 8,
there are no remaining bytes, and there is nothing to store in
the record at its regular place. In this case Field::ptr points
to bytes actually occupied by the next column in a record.
If both columns (BIT and the next column) are NOT NULL,
the Field::eq function incorrectly deduces that this is the
same column, so query transformation/equal item elimination
code (see build_equal_items_for_cond) may mix these columns
and damage conditions containing references to them.
This fix is for 5.0 only : back porting the 6.0 patch manually
The parser code in sql/sql_yacc.yy needs to be more robust to out of
memory conditions, so that when parsing a query fails due to OOM,
the thread gracefully returns an error.
Before this fix, a new/alloc returning NULL could:
- cause a crash, if dereferencing the NULL pointer,
- produce a corrupted parsed tree, containing NULL nodes,
- alter the semantic of a query, by silently dropping token values or nodes
With this fix:
- C++ constructors are *not* executed with a NULL "this" pointer
when operator new fails.
This is achieved by declaring "operator new" with a "throw ()" clause,
so that a failed new gracefully returns NULL on OOM conditions.
- calls to new/alloc are tested for a NULL result,
- The thread diagnostic area is set to an error status when OOM occurs.
This ensures that a request failing in the server properly returns an
ER_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error to the client.
- OOM conditions cause the parser to stop immediately (MYSQL_YYABORT).
This prevents causing further crashes when using a partially built parsed
tree in further rules in the parser.
No test scripts are provided, since automating OOM failures is not
instrumented in the server.
Tested under the debugger, to verify that an error in alloc_root cause the
thread to returns gracefully all the way to the client application, with
an ER_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error.
or incorrect.
For better conformance with standard, truncation procedure of CHAR columns
has been changed to ignore truncation of trailing whitespace characters
(note has been removed).
Finally, for columns with non-binary charsets:
1. CHAR(N) columns silently ignore trailing whitespace truncation;
2. VARCHAR and TEXT columns issue Note about truncation.
BLOBs and other columns with BINARY charset are unaffected.
Server handles truncation for assignment of too-long values
into CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns in a different ways when the
truncated characters are spaces:
1. CHAR(N) columns silently ignore end-space truncation;
2. TEXT columns post a truncation warning/error in the
non-strict/strict mode.
3. VARCHAR columns always post a truncation note in
any mode.
Space truncation processing has been synchronised over
CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns: current behavior of VARCHAR
columns has been propagated as standard.
Binary-encoded string/BLOB columns are not affected.
w/ Field_date instead of Field_newdate
Field_date was still used in temp table creation.
Fixed by using Field_newdate consistently throughout the server
except when reading tables defined with older MySQL version.
No test suite is possible because both Field_date and Field_newdate
return the same values in all the metadata calls.
There were two problems when inferring the correct field types resulting from
UNION queries.
- If the type is NULL for all corresponding fields in the UNION, the resulting
type would be NULL, while the type is BINARY(0) if there is just a single
SELECT NULL.
- If one SELECT in the UNION uses a subselect, a temporary table is created
to represent the subselect, and the result type defaults to a STRING type,
hiding the fact that the type was unknown(just a NULL value).
Fixed by remembering whenever a field was created from a NULL value and pass
type NULL to the type coercion if that is the case, and creating a string field
as result of UNION only if the type would otherwise be NULL.
HOUR(), MINUTE(), ... returned spurious results when used on a DATE-cast.
This happened because DATE-cast object did not overload get_time() method
in superclass Item. The default method was inappropriate here and
misinterpreted the data.
Patch adds missing method; get_time() on DATE-casts now returns SQL-NULL
on NULL input, 0 otherwise. This coincides with the way DATE-columns
behave.
Also fixes similar bug in Date-Field now.
max_length parameter for BLOB-returning functions must be big enough
for any possible content. Otherwise the field created for a table
will be too small.
Fixed the usage of spatial data (and Point in specific) with
non-spatial indexes.
Several problems :
- The length of the Point class was not updated to include the
spatial reference system identifier. Fixed by increasing with 4
bytes.
- The storage length of the spatial columns was not accounting for
the length that is prepended to it. Fixed by treating the
spatial data columns as blobs (and thus increasing the storage
length)
- When creating the key image for comparison in index read wrong
key image was created (the one needed for and r-tree search,
not the one for b-tree/other search). Fixed by treating the
spatial data columns as blobs (and creating the correct kind of
image based on the index type).
This bug manifested itself for queries with grouping by columns of
the BIT type. It led to wrong comparisons of bit-field values and
wrong result sets.
Bit-field values never cannot be compared as binary values. Yet
the class Field_bit had an implementation of the cmp method that
compared bit-fields values as binary values.
Also the get_image and set_image methods of the base class Field
cannot be used for objects of the Field_bit class.
Now these methods are declared as virtual and specific implementations
of the methods are provided for the class Field_bit.
Added --with-system-type=<systype> and --with-machine-type=<machtype>
options, to be able to override the one detected, for --version strings

C++ compatibility change for IBM VisualAge 6 and i5/OS
This bug was introduced by the fix for the bug#27300. In this fix a section
of code was added to the Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type method.
This section intended to create Field_geom fields for the Item_geometry_func
class and its descendants. In order to get the geometry type of the current
item it casted "this" to the Item_geometry_func* type. But the
Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type method is also used for creation of
fields for UNION and in this case this method is called for an object of the
Item_type_holder class and the cast to the Item_geometry_func* type causes
a server crash.
Now the Item::tmp_table_field_from_field_type method correctly works when it's
called for both the Item_type_holder and the Item_geometry_func classes.
The new geometry_type variable is added to the Item_type_holder class.
The new method called get_geometry_type is added to the Item_field
and the Field classes. It returns geometry type from the field for the
Item_field and the Field_geom classes and fails an assert for other Field
descendants.
Integer values with 10 digits may or may not fit into an int column
(e.g. 2147483647 vs 6147483647).
Thus when creating a temp table column for such an int we must
use bigint instead.
Fixed to use bigint.
Also subsituted a "magic number" with a named constant.
When storing a large number to a FLOAT or DOUBLE field with fixed length, it could be incorrectly truncated if the field's length was greater than 31.
This patch also does some code cleanups to be able to reuse code which is common between Field_float::store() and Field_double::store().
Made year 2000 handling more uniform
Removed year 2000 handling out from calc_days()
The above removes some bugs in date/datetimes with year between 0 and 200
Now we get a note when we insert a datetime value into a date column
For default values to CREATE, don't give errors for warning level NOTE
Fixed some compiler failures
Added library ws2_32 for windows compilation (needed if we want to compile with IOCP support)
Removed duplicate typedef TIME and replaced it with MYSQL_TIME
Better (more complete) fix for: Bug#21103 "DATE column not compared as DATE"
Fixed properly Bug#18997 "DATE_ADD and DATE_SUB perform year2K autoconversion magic on 4-digit year value"
Fixed Bug#23093 "Implicit conversion of 9912101 to date does not match cast(9912101 as date)"
INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE may cause error 1032:
"Can't find record in ..." if we are inserting into
InnoDB table unique index of partial key with
underlying UTF-8 string field.
This error occurs because INSERT...ON DUPLICATE uses a wrong
procedure to copy string fields of multi-byte character sets
for index search.
#27176: Assigning a string to an year column has unexpected results
#26359: Strings becoming truncated and converted to numbers under STRICT mode
Problems:
1. storing a string to an integer field we don't check
if strntoull10rnd() returns MY_ERRNO_EDOM error.
Fix: check for MY_ERRNO_EDOM.
2. storing a string to an year field we use my_strntol() function.
Fix: use strntoull10rnd() instead.
to 0 causes wrong (large) length to be read
from the row in _mi_calc_blob_length() when
storing NULL values in (e.g) POINT columns.
This large length is then used to allocate
a block of memory that (on some OSes) causes
trouble.
Fixed by calling the base class's
Field_blob::reset() from Field_geom::reset()
that is called when storing a NULL value into
the column.
The problem in this bug is when we create temporary tables. When
temporary tables are created for unions, there is some
inferrence being carried out regarding the type of the column.
Whenever this column type is inferred to be REAL (i.e. FLOAT or
DOUBLE), MySQL will always try to maintain exact precision, and
if that is not possible (there are hardware limits, since FLOAT
and DOUBLE are stored as approximate values) will switch to
using approximate values. The problem here is that at this point
the information about number of significant digits is not
available. Furthermore, the number of significant digits should
be increased for the AVG function, however, this was not properly
handled. There are 4 parts to the problem:
#1: DOUBLE and FLOAT fields don't display their proper display
lengths in max_display_length(). This is hard-coded as 53 for
DOUBLE and 24 for FLOAT. Now changed to instead return the
field_length.
#2: Type holders for temporary tables do not preserve the
max_length of the Item's from which they are created, and is
instead reverted to the 53 and 24 from above. This causes
*all* fields to get non-fixed significant digits.
#3: AVG function does not update max_length (display length)
when updating number of decimals.
#4: The function that switches to non-fixed number of
significant digits should use DBL_DIG + 2 or FLT_DIG + 2 as
cut-off values (Since fixed precision does not use the 'e'
notation)
Of these points, #1 is the controversial one, but this
change is preferred and has been cleared with Monty. The
function causes quite a few unit tests to blow up and they had
to b changed, but each one is annotated and motivated. We
frequently see the magical 53 and 24 give way to more relevant
numbers.
INSERT DELAYED inserts garbage for BIT columns.
When delayed thread clones TABLE object, it didn't adjusted bit_ptr
to newly created record (though it correctly adjusts ptr and null_ptr).
This is fixed by correctly adjusting bit_ptr when performing a clone.
With this fix BIT values are stored correctly by INSERT DELAYED.
Ignoring error codes from type conversion allows default (wrong) values to
go unnoticed in the formation of index search conditions.
Fixed by correctly checking for conversion errors.
Depending on the queries we use different data processing methods
and can lose some data in case of double (and decimal in 4.1) fields.
The fix consists of two parts:
1. double comparison changed, now double a is equal to double b
if (a-b) is less than 5*0.1^(1 + max(a->decimals, b->decimals)).
For example, if a->decimals==1, b->decimals==2, a==b if (a-b)<0.005
2. if we use a temporary table, store double values there as is
to avoid any data conversion (rounding).
