This patch provides performance improvements:
- send_fields() when character_set_results = latin1
is now about twice faster for column/table/database
names, consisting on ASCII characters.
Changes:
- Protocol doesn't use "convert" temporary buffer anymore,
and converts strings directly to "packet".
- General conversion optimization: quick conversion
of ASCII strings was added.
modified files:
include/m_ctype.h
- Adding a new flag.
- Adding a new function prototype
libmysqld/lib_sql.cc
- Adding quick conversion method for embedded library:
conversion is now done directly to result buffer,
without using a temporary buffer.
mysys/charset.c
- Mark all dynamic ucs2 character sets as non-ASCII
- Mark some dymamic 7bit and 8bit charsets as non-ASCII
(for example swe7 is not fully ASCII compatible).
sql/protocol.cc
- Adding quick method to convert a string directly
into protocol buffer, without using a temporary buffer.
sql/protocol.h
- Adding a new method prototype
sql/sql_string.cc
Optimization for conversion between two ASCII-compatible charsets:
- quickly convert ASCII strings,
switch to mc_wc->wc_mb method only when a non-ASCII character is met.
- copy four ASCII characters at once on i386
strings/conf_to_src.c
- Marking non-ASCII character sets with a flag.
strings/ctype-extra.c
- Regenerating ctype-extra.c by running "conf_to_src".
strings/ctype-uca.c
- Marking UCS2 character set as non-ASCII.
strings/ctype-ucs2.c
- Marking UCS2 character set as non-ASCII.
strings/ctype.c
- A new function to detect if a 7bit or 8bit character set
is ascii compatible.
