The problem reported is a compile bug,
reported by the development GCC team with GCC 4.2.
The original issue can no longer be reproduced in MySQL 5.1,
since the configure script no longer define HAVE_ATOMIC_ADD,
which caused the Linux atomic functions to be used (and cause a problem
with an invalid cast).
This patch implements some code cleanup for 5.1 only, which was identified
during the investigation of this issue.
With this patch, statistics maintained in THD::status_var are by definition
owned by the running thread, and do not need to be protected against race
conditions. These statistics are maintained by the status_var_* helpers,
which do not require any lock.
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
Fixed a compiler dependent expression to be more portable.
Initialized 'dummy' in construct_help_options() so that loaded
plugin show themselves as TRUE in the help output.
NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO mode.
In the NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO mode the table->auto_increment_field_not_null
variable is used to indicate that a non-NULL value was specified by the user
for an auto_increment column. When an INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE updates the
auto_increment field this variable is set to true and stays unchanged for the
next insert operation. This makes the next inserted row sometimes wrongly have
0 as the value of the auto_increment field.
Now the fill_record() function resets the table->auto_increment_field_not_null
variable before filling the record.
The table->auto_increment_field_not_null variable is also reset by the
open_table() function for a case if we missed some auto_increment_field_not_null
handling bug.
Now the table->auto_increment_field_not_null is reset at the end of the
mysql_load() function.
Reset the table->auto_increment_field_not_null variable after each
write_row() call in the copy_data_between_tables() function.
thd->options' OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE bit was not restored at the end of SF() invocation, where
SF() modified non-ta table.
As the result of this artifact it was not possible to detect whether there were any side-effects when
top-level query ends.
If the top level query table was not modified and the bit is lost there would be no binlogging.
Fixed with preserving the bit inside of thd->no_trans_update struct. The struct agregates two bool flags
telling whether the current query and the current transaction modified any non-ta table.
The flags stmt, all are dropped at the end of the query and the transaction.
"Server Variables for Plugins"
Implement support for plugins to declare server variables.
Demonstrate functionality by removing InnoDB specific code from sql/*
New feature for HASH - HASH_UNIQUE flag
New feature for DYNAMIC_ARRAY - initializer accepts preallocated ptr.
Completed support for plugin reference counting.
With this patch, statements that change metadata (in the mysql database)
is logged as statements, while normal changes (e.g., using INSERT, DELETE,
and/or UPDATE) is logged according to the format in effect.
The log tables (i.e., general_log and slow_log) are not replicated at all.
With this patch, the following statements are replicated as statements:
GRANT, REVOKE (ALL), CREATE USER, DROP USER, and RENAME USER.
Fixed compile-pentium64 scripts
Fixed wrong estimate of update_with_key_prefix in sql-bench
Merge bk-internal.mysql.com:/home/bk/mysql-5.1 into mysql.com:/home/my/mysql-5.1
Fixed unsafe define of uint4korr()
Fixed that --extern works with mysql-test-run.pl
Small trivial cleanups
This also fixes a bug in counting number of rows that are updated when we have many simultanous queries
Move all connection handling and command exectuion main loop from sql_parse.cc to sql_connection.cc
Split handle_one_connection() into reusable sub functions.
Split create_new_thread() into reusable sub functions.
Added thread_scheduler; Preliminary interface code for future thread_handling code.
Use 'my_thread_id' for internal thread id's
Make thr_alarm_kill() to depend on thread_id instead of thread
Make thr_abort_locks_for_thread() depend on thread_id instead of thread
In store_globals(), set my_thread_var->id to be thd->thread_id.
Use my_thread_var->id as basis for my_thread_name()
The above changes makes the connection we have between THD and threads more soft.
Added a lot of DBUG_PRINT() and DBUG_ASSERT() functions
Fixed compiler warnings
Fixed core dumps when running with --debug
Removed setting of signal masks (was never used)
Made event code call pthread_exit() (portability fix)
Fixed that event code doesn't call DBUG_xxx functions before my_thread_init() is called.
Made handling of thread_id and thd->variables.pseudo_thread_id uniform.
Removed one common 'not freed memory' warning from mysqltest
Fixed a couple of usage of not initialized warnings (unlikely cases)
Suppress compiler warnings from bdb and (for the moment) warnings from ndb
can crash under load
Resizing a key cache while it was in heavy use could crash the
server. There were several race conditions.
I reworked some of the algorithms to fix the race conditions.
No test case. Repeating the crashes requires heavy concurrent
load on the key cache. A test script is attached to the bug report.
More explanations to the changes are contained in a text file
attached to the bug report.
index_read(), index_read_idx(), index_read_last(), and
records_in_range() - instead of 'uint keylen' argument take
'ulonglong keypart_map', a bitmap showing which keyparts are
present in the key value.
Fallback method is provided for handlers that are lagging behind.
Removed a lot of compiler warnings
Removed not used variables, functions and labels
Initialize some variables that could be used unitialized (fatal bugs)
%ll -> %l
