Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
Although the C standard mandates that sprintf return the number
of bytes written, some very ancient systems (i.e. SunOS 4)
returned a pointer to the buffer instead. Since these systems
are not supported anymore and are hopefully long dead by now,
simply remove the portability wrapper that dealt with this
discrepancy. The autoconf check was causing trouble with GCC.
strict aliasing violations.
Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
behavior.
As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
dereferenced.
with gcc 4.3.2
This patch fixes a number of GCC warnings about variables used
before initialized. A new macro UNINIT_VAR() is introduced for
use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.
When the fractional part in a multiplication of DECIMALs
overflowed, we truncated the first operand rather than the
longest. Now truncating least significant places instead
for more precise multiplications.
(Queuing at demand of Trudy/Davi.)
The ROUND(X, D) function would change the Item::decimals field during
execution to achieve the effect of a dynamic number of decimal digits.
This caused a series of bugs:
Bug #30617:Round() function not working under some circumstances in InnoDB
Bug #33402:ROUND with decimal and non-constant cannot round to 0 decimal places
Bug #30889:filesort and order by with float/numeric crashes server
Fixed by never changing the number of shown digits for DECIMAL when
used with a nonconstant number of decimal digits.
when a divisor is less than 1 and its fractional part is very long.
For example:
1 % .123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789;
Stack buffer overflow has been fixed in the do_div_mod function.
in the case of the overflow in the decimal->integer conversion
we didn't return the proper boundary value, but just the result
of the conversion we calculated on the moment of the error
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 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
more similar to my_strtod() (and maybe even a bit faster due
to less floating point divisions).
This should at least partially fix Bug #23260 for DECIMALs
with a moderate number of total digits.
- Removed not used variables and functions
- Added #ifdef around code that is not used
- Renamed variables and functions to avoid conflicts
- Removed some not used arguments
Fixed some class/struct warnings in ndb
Added define IS_LONGDATA() to simplify code in libmysql.c
I did run gcov on the changes and added 'purecov' comments on almost all lines that was not just variable name changes
(Mostly in DBUG_PRINT() and unused arguments)
Fixed bug in query cache when used with traceing (--with-debug)
Fixed memory leak in mysqldump
Removed warnings from mysqltest scripts (replaced -- with #)
decimal->ulong conversion fixed to assign max possible ULONG if decimal
is bigger
Item_func_unsigned now handles DECIMAL parameter separately as we can't
rely on decimal::val_int result here.
Adding decimal "digits" in multiplication resulted in signed overflow and
producing wrong results.
Fixed by using large enough buffers and intermediary result types :
dec2 (currently longlong) to hold result of adding decimal "digits"
(currently int32).
The table may be corrupted and decimal columns may have invalid values in this case.
To prevent crash we need to check that decimal column has allowable value.
In case of invalid value generate warning and set the value to 0.
