(Variant#3: Allow cross-charset comparisons, use a special
CHARSET_INFO to create lookup keys. Review input addressed.)
Equalities that compare utf8mb{3,4}_general_ci strings, like:
WHERE ... utf8mb3_key_col=utf8mb4_value (MB3-4-CMP)
can now be used to construct ref[const] access and also participate
in multiple-equalities.
This means that utf8mb3_key_col can be used for key-lookups when
compared with an utf8mb4 constant, field or expression using '=' or
'<=>' comparison operators.
This is controlled by optimizer_switch='cset_narrowing=on', which is
OFF by default.
IMPLEMENTATION
Item value comparison in (MB3-4-CMP) is done using utf8mb4_general_ci.
This is valid as any utf8mb3 value is also an utf8mb4 value.
When making index lookup value for utf8mb3_key_col, we do "Charset
Narrowing": characters that are in the Basic Multilingual Plane (=BMP) are
copied as-is, as they can be represented in utf8mb3. Characters that are
outside the BMP cannot be represented in utf8mb3 and are replaced
with U+FFFD, the "Replacement Character".
In utf8mb4_general_ci, the Replacement Character compares as equal to any
character that's not in BMP. Because of this, the constructed lookup value
will find all index records that would be considered equal by the original
condition (MB3-4-CMP).

In the hexlo function, the element type of the array hex_lo_digit is not
explicitly declared as signed char, causing elements with a value of -1
to be converted to 255 on Arm64. The problem occurs because "char" is
unsigned by default on Arm64 compiler, but signed on x86 compiler. This
problem can be seen in https://godbolt.org/z/rT775xshj
The above issue causes "use-after-poison" exception in my_mb_wc_filename
function. The code snippet where the error occurred is shown below,
copied from below link.
5fc19e7137/strings/ctype-utf8.c (L2728)
2728 if ((byte1= hexlo(byte1)) >= 0 &&
2729 (byte2= hexlo(byte2)) >= 0)
{
2731 int byte3= hexlo(s[3]);
…
}
At line 2729, when byte2 is 0, which indicates the end of the string s.
(1) On x86, hexlo(0) return -1 and line 2731 is skipped, as expected.
(2) On Arm64, hexlo(0) return 255 and line 2731 is executed, not as
expected, accessing s[3] after the null character of string s, thus
raising the "user-after-poison" error.
The problem was discovered when executing the main.mysqlcheck test.

1. Adding a separate MY_COLLATION_HANDLER
my_collation_ucs2_general_mysql500_ci_handler
implementing a proper order for ucs2_general_mysql500_ci
The problem happened because ucs2_general_mysql500_ci
erroneously used my_collation_ucs2_general_ci_handler.
2. Cosmetic changes: Renaming:
- plane00_mysql500 to my_unicase_mysql500_page00
- my_unicase_pages_mysql500 to my_unicase_mysql500_pages
to use the same naming style with:
- my_unicase_default_page00
- my_unicase_defaul_pages
3. Moving code fragments from
- handler::check_collation_compatibility() in handler.cc
- upgrade_collation() in table.cc
into new methods in class Charset, to reuse the code easier.
This change removed 68 explict strlen() calls from the code.
The following renames was done to ensure we don't use the old names
when merging code from earlier releases, as using the new variables
for print function could result in crashes:
- charset->csname renamed to charset->cs_name
- charset->name renamed to charset->coll_name
Almost everything where mechanical changes except:
- Changed to use the new Protocol::store(LEX_CSTRING..) when possible
- Changed to use field->store(LEX_CSTRING*, CHARSET_INFO*) when possible
- Changed to use String->append(LEX_CSTRING&) when possible
Other things:
- There where compiler issues with ensuring that all character set names
points to the same string: gcc doesn't allow one to use integer constants
when defining global structures (constant char * pointers works fine).
To get around this, I declared defines for each character set name
length.
This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to
utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default,
so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.
This patch ensures that all identical character sets shares the same
cs->csname.
This allows us to replace strcmp() in my_charset_same() with comparisons
of pointers. This fixes a long standing performance issue that could cause
as strcmp() for every item sent trough the protocol class to the end user.
One consequence of this patch is that we don't allow one to add a character
definition in the Index.xml file that changes the csname of an existing
character set. This is by design as changing character set names of existing
ones is extremely dangerous, especially as some storage engines just records
character set numbers.
As we now have a hash over character set's csname, we can in the future
use that for faster access to a specific character set. This could be done
by changing the hash to non unique and use the hash to find the next
character set with same csname.
Replacing the slow loop in my_hash_sort_utf8mbX() to the fast
skip_trailing_spaces(), which consumes 8 bytes in one iteration,
and is around 8 times faster on long data.
Also, renaming:
- my_hash_sort_utf8() to my_hash_sort_utf8mb3()
- my_hash_sort_utf8_nopad() to my_hash_sort_utf8mb3_nopad()
to merge to 10.5 easier (automatically?).
The code did not take into account that:
- U+005C (backslash) can occupy more than mbminlen characters (e.g. in sjis)
- Some character sets do not have a code for U+005C (e.g. swe7)
Adding a new function my_wc_to_printable into MY_CHARSET_HANDLER to
cover all special cases easier.
main.derived_cond_pushdown: Move all 10.3 tests to the end,
trim trailing white space, and add an "End of 10.3 tests" marker.
Add --sorted_result to tests where the ordering is not deterministic.
main.win_percentile: Add --sorted_result to tests where the
ordering is no longer deterministic.
Synchronizing sources in:
- my_wildcmp_uca_impl() handling utf8_unicode_ci
- my_wildcmp_unicode_impl() handling utf8_general_ci
The latter has already had a fix for a similar MySQL bug in utf8_general_ci:
Bug#11754 SET NAMES utf8 followed by SELECT "A\\" LIKE "A\\" returns 0
So fix is now propagated to utf8_unicode_ci.
After the MDEV-13118 fix there's no code in the server that
wants caseup/casedn to change the argument in place for simple
charsets. Let's remove this logic and always return the result in a
new string for all charsets, both simple and complex.
1. Removing the optimization that *some* character sets used in casedn()
and caseup(), which allowed (and required) to change the case in-place,
overwriting the string passed as the "src" argument.
Now all CHARSET_INFO's work in the same way:
non of them change the source string in-place, all of them now convert
case from the source string to the destination string, leaving
the source string untouched.
2. Adding "const" qualifier to the "char *src" parameter
to caseup() and casedn().
3. Removing duplicate implementations in ctype-mb.c.
Now both caseup() and casedn() implementations for all CJK character sets
use internally the same function my_casefold_mb()
(the former my_casefold_mb_varlen()).
4. Removing the "unused" attribute from parameters of some my_case{up|dn}_xxx()
implementations, as the affected parameters are now *used* in the code.
Previously these parameters were used only in DBUG_ASSERT().
Do not silence uncertain cases, or fix any bugs.
The only functional change should be that ha_federated::extra()
is not calling DBUG_PRINT to report an unhandled case for
HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_DROP.
