5.1-related fixes
libmysqld/Makefile.am fixed to recompile and link ha_*.cc files that
keep dependance on THD structure.
Minor fixes to make tests working.
Blocked evaluation of constant objects of the classes
Item_func_is_null and Item_is_not_null_test at the
prepare phase in the cases when the objects used subqueries.
Removed an assertion that was not valid for the cases where the query
in a prepared statement contained a single-row non-correlated
subquery that was used as an argument of the IS NULL predicate.
Bug#4968 "Stored procedure crash if cursor opened on altered table"
Bug#19733 "Repeated alter, or repeated create/drop, fails"
Bug#19182 "CREATE TABLE bar (m INT) SELECT n FROM foo; doesn't work from
stored procedure."
Bug#6895 "Prepared Statements: ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN does nothing"
Bug#22060 "ALTER TABLE x AUTO_INCREMENT=y in SP crashes server"
Test cases for bugs 4968, 19733, 6895 will be added in 5.0.
Re-execution of CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE
statements in stored routines or as prepared statements caused
incorrect results (and crashes in versions prior to 5.0.25).
In 5.1 the problem occured only for CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE
SELECT and CREATE TABLE with INDEX/DATA DIRECTOY options).
The problem of bugs 4968, 19733, 19282 and 6895 was that functions
mysql_prepare_table, mysql_create_table and mysql_alter_table were not
re-execution friendly: during their operation they used to modify contents
of LEX (members create_info, alter_info, key_list, create_list),
thus making the LEX unusable for the next execution.
In particular, these functions removed processed columns and keys from
create_list, key_list and drop_list. Search the code in sql_table.cc
for drop_it.remove() and similar patterns to find evidence.
The fix is to supply to these functions a usable copy of each of the
above structures at every re-execution of an SQL statement.
To simplify memory management, LEX::key_list and LEX::create_list
were added to LEX::alter_info, a fresh copy of which is created for
every execution.
The problem of crashing bug 22060 stemmed from the fact that the above
metnioned functions were not only modifying HA_CREATE_INFO structure in
LEX, but also were changing it to point to areas in volatile memory of
the execution memory root.
The patch solves this problem by creating and using an on-stack
copy of HA_CREATE_INFO (note that code in 5.1 already creates and
uses a copy of this structure in mysql_create_table()/alter_table(),
but this approach didn't work well for CREATE TABLE SELECT statement).
prepared statement and subquery.
When a field of a view from an outer select is resolved the find_field_in_view
function creates an Item_direct_view_ref object that references the
corresponding view underlying field. After that the view_ref is marked
as a dependent one. While resolving view underlying field it also get
marked as a dependent one due to current_select still points to the subselect.
Marking the view underlying field is wrong and lead to attaching conditions
to a wrong table and thus to the wrong result of the whole statement.
Now mark_select_range_as_dependent() function isn't called for fields from a
view underlying table.
Use mutex when reading prepared_stmt_count global status variable.
Update test case for bug 16365 and bug 23159: add test for
prepared_stmt_count being decreased when some connection that had
prepared statements is closed.
- When a shared library argument is supplied, it's checked for an OS
specific directory separator. The expected error is different
depending on the separator used. Create OS specific versions of these
tests.

Before this change, the functions BENCHMARK, ENCODE, DECODE and FORMAT could
only accept a constant for some parameters.
After this change, this restriction has been removed. An implication is that
these functions can also be used in prepared statements.
The change consist of changing the following classes:
- Item_func_benchmark
- Item_func_encode
- Item_func_decode
- Item_func_format
to:
- only accept Item* in the constructor,
- and evaluate arguments during calls to val_xxx()
which fits the general design of all the other functions.
The 'TODO' items identified in item_create.cc during the work done for
Bug 21114 are addressed by this fix, as a natural consequence of aligning
the design.
In the 'func_str' test, a single very long test line involving an explain
extended select with many functions has been rewritten into multiple
separate tests, to improve maintainability.
The result of explain extended select decode(encode(...)) has changed,
since the encode and decode functions now print all their parameters.
When statement to be prepared contained CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE FUNCTION
or CREATE TRIGGER statements with a syntax error in it, the preparation
would fail with syntax error message, but the memory could be corrupted.
The problem occurred because we switch memroot when parse stored
routine or trigger definitions, and on parse error we restored the
original memroot only after performing some memory operations. In more
detail:
- prepared statement would activate its own memory root to parse
the definition of the stored procedure.
- SP would reset this memory root with its own memory root to
parse SP statements
- a syntax error would happen
- prepared statement would restore the original memory root
- stored procedure would restore what it thinks was the original
memory root, but actually was the statement memory root.
That led to double free - in destruction of the statement and in
a next call to mysql_parse().
The solution is to restore memroot right after the failed parsing.
Do not consider SHOW commands slow queries, just because they don't use proper indexes.
This bug fix is not needed in 5.1, and the code changes will be null merged. However, the test cases will be propogated up to 5.1.
