CLIENT CONFIGURATION.
At startup, MySQL server/client programs do not read
configuration file pointed by MYSQL_HOME environment
variable.
This happened as, this environment variable was
handled by a different variable (DEFAULT_HOME_ENV)
in the code, which was ne'er initialized.
Fixed by changing it to MYSQL_HOME.
"set optimizer_switch to e or d causes invalid memory writes/valgrind warnings":
due to prefix support, the argument "e" was overwritten with its full value
"engine_condition_pushdown", which caused a buffer overrun.
This was wrong usage of find_type(); other wrong usages are fixed here too.
Please start reading with the comment of typelib.c.
Starting mysqld with defaults file without
extension cause segmentation fault
Bug occurs because fn_expand calls fn_format
with NULL as ext.
This is a backport of the patch from 5.6.
Patch solve this problem by using an empty
string as extension, and adding assertions
to fn_format that correct arguments are passed.
It also add a test tests several variations of
using non-existing defaults files.
After fix of bug#25192, load_defaults() will add an args separator
to distinguish options loaded from configure files from that provided
in the command line. One problem of this is that the args separator
would be added no matter the application need it or not.
Fixed the problem by adding an option:
bool my_getopt_use_args_separator;
to control whether the separator will be added or not. And also
added functions:
bool my_getopt_is_args_separator(const char* arg);
to check if the argument is the separator or not.
Memory was allocated for storing path names inside
fn_expand(), which were not free:ed anywhere.
This patch fixes the problem by storing the path
names in statically allocated buffers instead,
which is automatically free:ed when the server
exits.
If a relative path is supplied to option --defaults-file or
--defaults-extra-file, the server will crash when executing
an INSTALL PLUGIN command. The reason is that the defaults
file is initially read relative the current working directory
when the server is started, but when INSTALL PLUGIN is executed,
the server has changed working directory to the data directory.
Since there is no check that the call to my_load_defaults()
inside mysql_install_plugin(), the subsequence call to
free_defaults() will crash the server.
This patch fixes the problem by:
- Prepending the current working directory to the file name when
a relative path is given to the --defaults-file or --defaults-
extra-file option the first time my_load_defaults() is called,
which is just after the server has started in main().
- Adding a check of the return value of my_load_defaults() inside
mysql_install_plugin() and aborting command (with an error) if
an error is returned.
- It also adds a check of the return value for load_defaults in
lib_sql.cc for the embedded server since that was missing.
To test that the relative files for the options --defaults-file and
--defaults-extra-file is handled properly, mysql-test-run.pl is also
changed to not add a --defaults-file option if one is provided in the
tests *.opt file.

The problem is a somewhat common misusage of the strmake function.
The strmake(dst, src, len) function writes at most /len/ bytes to
the string pointed to by src, not including the trailing null byte.
Hence, if /len/ is the exact length of the destination buffer, a
one byte buffer overflow can occur if the length of the source
string is equal to or greater than /len/.

Options loaded from config files were added before command line
arguments, and they were parsed together, which could interprete
the following:
option-a
option-b
as --option-a=--option-b if 'option-a' requires a value, and
caused confusing.
Because all options that requires a value are always given in
the form '--option=value', so it's an error if there is no
'=value' part for such an option read from config file.
This patch added a separator to separate the arguments from
config files and that from command line, so that they can be
handled differently. And report an error for options loaded
from config files that requires a value and is not given in the
form '--option=value'.
in load_defaults()
load_defaults(), my_search_option_files() and
my_print_default_files() utilized a global variable
containing a pointer to thread local memory. This could lead
to race conditions when those functions were called with high
concurrency.
Fixed by changing the interface of the said functions to avoid
the necessity for using a global variable.
Since we cannot change load_defaults() prototype for API
compatibility reasons, it was renamed my_load_defaults().
Now load_defaults() is a thread-unsafe wrapper around
a thread-safe version, my_load_defaults().

Several functions (mostly in mysqld.cc) directly call
exit() function in case of errors, which is not a desired
behaviour expecially in the embedded-server library.
Fixed by making these functions return error sign instead
of exiting.

Pull out some of unpack_dirname() into normalize_dirname(); this
new function does not expand "~" to the home directory. Use this
function in unpack_dirname(), and use it during init_default_directories()
to remove duplicate entries without losing track of which directory
is a user's home dir.
A user could not override system-wide settings in their ~/.my.cnf,
because the DEFAULT_SYSCONFDIR was being searched last. Also, in
some configurations (especially when the --sysconfdir compile-time
option is set to /etc or /etc/mysql), the system-wide my.cnf file
was read multiple times, causing confusion and potential problems.
Rearrange default directories to conform to the manual and logic.
Move --sysconfdir=<path> (DEFAULT_SYSCONFDIR) from the last default
directory to the middle of the list. $HOME/.my.cnf should be last,
so the user is able to override the system-wide settings.
Change init_default_directories() to remove duplicates from the
list.
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c
Recognize the --no-defaults, --defaults-file and --defaults-extra-file
options. Treat old --config-file argument as if --defaults-extra-file
had been specified instead.
Plus a few other defaults-related cleanups.
