(compiler issue ?)
Problem:
Improper compile-time flags on AIX prevented use of files > 2 GB. This
resulted in Max_data_length being truncated to 2 GB by MyISAM code.
Solution:
Reverted large-file changes from the fix for bug10776. We need to define
_LARGE_FILES on AIX to have support for files > 2 GB.
Since _LARGE_FILE_API is incompatible with _LARGE_FILES and may be
automatically defined by including standards.h, we also need a
workaround to avoid this conflict.
The patch limits read_buffer_size and read_rnd_buffer_size by 2 GB on all platforms for the following reasons:
- I/O code in mysys, code in mf_iocache.c and in some storage engines do not currently work with sizes > 2 GB for those buffers
- even if the above had been fixed, Windows POSIX read() and write() calls are not 2GB-safe, so setting those buffer to sizes > 2GB would not work correctly on 64-bit Windows.
c++config.h now has the following code:
// For example, <windows.h> is known to #define min and max as macros...
#undef min
#undef max
So, our defines in my_global.h are undefined when <new> header
is included.
Move definitions of min()/max() to the end of my_global.h.
Add more accessors to MySQL internals in mysql/plugin.h, for storage
engine plugins.
Add some accessors specific to the InnoDB storage engine, to allow
InnoDB to be compiled as a plugin (without MYSQL_SERVER). InnoDB
has additional requirements, due to its foreign key support, etc.
Problem: long and long long types mess in a comparison may lead to wrong results on some platforms.
Fix: prefer [unsigned] long long as [u]longlong as it's used unconditionally in many places.
We access some variable values using casts like *(long *) buff
that may cause crashes on some platforms (e.g. solaris 64) if buff is
not properly aligned.
Fix: align the buffer used.
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.
- Since isinf() portability across various platforms and
compilers is a complicated question, we should not use
it directly. Instead, the my_isinf() macro should be used,
which is defined as an alias to the system-defined isinf()
if it is safe to use, or a workaround implementation otherwise
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
Since isinf() portability across various platforms and compilers is a complicated question, we should not use it directly. Instead, the my_isinf() macro should be used, which is defined as an alias to the system-defined isinf() if it is safe to use, or a workaround implementation otherwise.
- Improve mysql_upgrade and add comments describing it's logic
- Don't look for mysql and mysqlcheck randomly, use dir where mysql_upgrade
was started from
- Don't look for mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql randomly, compile
in the mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql file and use that to upgrade
the system tables of MySQL
- Check for any unexpected error returned from runnning the mysql_fix_privilege_tables SQL
- Fix bug#26639, bug#24248 and bug#25405
