One should not change the program arguments!
This change also reduces warnings from the icc compiler.
Almost all changes are just syntax changes (adding const to
'get_one_option function' declarations).
Other changes:
- Added a few cast of 'argument' from 'const char*' to 'char *'. This
was mainly in calls to 'external' functions we don't have control of.
- Ensure that all reset of 'password command line argument' are similar.
(In almost all cases it was just adding a comment and a cast)
- In mysqlbinlog.cc and mysqld.cc there was a few cases that changed
the command line argument. These places where changed to instead allocate
the option in a MEM_ROOT to avoid changing the argument. Some of this
code was changed to ensure that different programs did parsing the
same way. Added a test case for the changes in mysqlbinlog.cc
- Changed a few variables that took their value from command line options
from 'char *' to 'const char *'.
This will allow to check ABI for C++ plugins defined in include/mysql/plugin.h
e.g. like this:
struct st_mysql_xxx
{
int interface_version;
const class XXX *xxx;
};
Discussed with Serg.
Disable LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE suport by default and
auto-enable it for the duration of one query, if the query
string starts with the word "load". In all other cases the application
should enable LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE support explicitly.
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.
This will make it easier to how memory allocation is done when debugging
with either DBUG or gdb.
Will especially help when debugging stored procedures
Main change is a name argument as second argument to init_alloc_root()
init_sql_alloc()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ENTER/EXIT to some Virtual_tmp_table functions
find_type_or_exit() client helper did exit(1) on error, exit(1) moved to
clients.
mysql_read_default_options() did exit(1) on error, error is passed through and
handled now.
my_str_malloc_default() did exit(1) on error, replaced my_str_ allocator
functions with normal my_malloc()/my_realloc()/my_free().
sql_connect.cc did many exit(1) on hash initialisation failure. Removed error
check since my_hash_init() never fails.
my_malloc() did exit(1) on error. Replaced with abort().
my_load_defaults() did exit(1) on error, replaced with return 2.
my_load_defaults() still does exit(0) when invoked with --print-defaults.
The background is that one user had a lot of views and using some complex
queries on information schema temporary memory of more than 2G was used.
- Added new element 'total_alloc' to MEM_ROOT for easier debugging.
- Added MAX_MEMORY_USED to information_schema.processlist.
- Added new status variable "Memory_used_initial" that shows how much MariaDB
uses at startup. This gives the base value for "Memory_used".
- Reuse memory continuously for information schema queries instead of
only freeing memory at query end.
Other things
- Removed some not needed set_notnull() calls for not null columns.
Storage engine independent support for column compression.
TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB, TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT,
VARCHAR and VARBINARY columns can be compressed.
New COMPRESSED column attribute added:
COMPRESSED[=<compression_method>]
System variables added:
column_compression_threshold
column_compression_zlib_level
column_compression_zlib_strategy
column_compression_zlib_wrap
Status variables added:
Column_compressions
Column_decompressions
Limitations:
- the only supported method currently is zlib
- CSV storage engine stores data uncompressed on-disk even if COMPRESSED
attribute is present
- it is not possible to create indexes over compressed columns.
sql_sequence.read_only: Show that the sequence can be read in
both read-only and read-write mode, and that the sequence remains
accessible after a server restart.
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
- When waiting for events, start time is now counted from start of wait
- Instead of having "Connect" as "Command" for all replication threads we
now have:
- Slave_IO for Slave thread reading relay log
- Slave_SQL for slave executing SQL commands or distribution queries to
Slave workers
- Slave_worker for slave threads executin SQL commands in parallel replication
compiled for debugging, when the server goes down
This happens in the following scenario:
- Server gets a shutdown message
- Servers sends error ER_CONNECTION_KILLED to the clients connection
- The client sends a query to the server, before the server has time to
close the connection to the client
- Client reads the ER_CONNECTION_KILLED error message
In the above case, the packet number for the reply is one less than
what the client expected and the client prints "Packets out of order".
Fixed the following way:
- The client accepts now error packages with a packet number
one less than expected.
- To ensure that this issue can be detected early in my_real_read(), error
messages sent to the client are not compressed, even when compressed protocol is used.
removing IMPOSSIBLE_RESULT from Item_result, as it's not
needed any more. The fact that an Item is not in a comparison
context is now always designated by IDENTITY_SUBST in Subst_constraint.
Previously IMPOSSIBLE_RESULT and IDENTITY_SUBST co-existed but
actually meant the same thing.
Start the client API for low-level protocol access:
* unsigned long mysql_net_read_packet(MYSQL *mysql);
* unsigned long mysql_net_field_length(unsigned char **packet);
