Problem: GROUP BY on empty ucs2 strings crashed server.
Reason: sometimes mi_unique_hash() is executed with
ptr=null and length=0, which means "empty string".
The branch of code handling UCS2 character set
was not safe against ptr=null and fell into and
endless loop even if length=0 because of poiter
arithmetic overflow.
Fix: adding special check for length=0 to avoid pointer arithmetic
overflow.
- Removed not used variables and functions
- Added #ifdef around code that is not used
- Renamed variables and functions to avoid conflicts
- Removed some not used arguments
Fixed some class/struct warnings in ndb
Added define IS_LONGDATA() to simplify code in libmysql.c
I did run gcov on the changes and added 'purecov' comments on almost all lines that was not just variable name changes
new file
mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql, mysql_create_system_tables.sh:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: fixing "password" type, not to be 0x00-padding.
Many files:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: fixing tests not to output 0x00 bytes.
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: new pad_char structure member.
ctype-bin.c:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: new pad_char structure member.
New strnxfrm, with two trailing length bytes.
field.cc:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY.
In cp932, '\' character can be the second byte in a
multi-byte character stream. This makes it difficult to use
mysql_escape_string. Added flag to indicate which languages allow
'\' as second byte of multibyte sequence so that when putting a prepared
statement into the binlog we can decide at runtime whether hex encoding
is really needed.
UPPER/LOWER now can return a string with different length.
mi_test1.c:
Adding new arguments.
Many files:
Changeing caseup/casedn to return a result with different
length than argument.
sql_string.h:
Removing unused method,
mysql_priv.h:
Removing unused method
fixing test results accordingly.
ctype-uca.c:
It appeared that in traditional Spanish collation
'RR' is not equal to 'R', as Unicode and Mimer state.
We'll go Oracle and IBM way instead:
No special rules to 'RR'.
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
- mutex was unlocked before the end of the critical sesion,
- Portability issue: It's better to use (*alloc)(x) instead of alloc(x),
if alloc is a function passed as an argument.
- Use {} around if() block, to avoid possible problems with some Windows compilers.
