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.
- 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 #)
- WL#3158: IM: Instance configuration extensions;
- WL#3159: IM: --bootstrap and --start-default-instance modes
The following new statements have been added:
- CREATE INSTANCE;
- DROP INSTANCE;
The behaviour of the following statements have been changed:
- SET;
- UNSET;
- FLUSH INSTANCES;
- SHOW INSTANCES;
- SHOW INSTANCE OPTIONS;
- Grab the path from "configure --sysconfdir=<path>" and set it as
the first place to look for my.cnf files
Do this both in Makefiles for libmysql and mysys
- Patch provided by Francesco Riosa. Thank you!
Before the fix in ~Prepared_statments we got a memory leak when executing mysql_client_test.test
Note that test 'variables.test' fails.
This will be fixed when Jimw pushes the fix for Bug 10351
Changed defaults option --instance to --defaults-group-suffix
Changed option handling to allow --defaults-file, --defaults-extra-file and --defaults-group-suffix to be given in any order
Changed MYSQL_INSTANCE to MYSQL_GROUP_SUFFIX
mysql_print_defaults now understands --defaults-group-suffix
Remove usage of my_tempnam() (not safe function)
if( -> if ( and while( to while (
the new installer and GUI tools expect. (Bug #10419) Also, dynamically bind to
GetSystemWindowsDirectory() so that it works on all platforms. (Bug #5354)
Disabled use of GetSystemWindowsDirectory() when compiled with VC6
mysql.cc:
Removed unused variable 'field' from print_warnings()
libmysql.dsp:
Added "my_chsize.c" and "my_seek.c"
mysqlclient.dsp:
Added "my_chsize.c"
