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.
decrease for INSERTs
Bulk inserts (multiple row, CREATE ... SELECT, INSERT ... SELECT) into
MyISAM tables were performed inefficiently. This was mainly affecting
use cases where read_buffer_size was considerably large (>256K) and low
number of rows was inserted (e.g. 30-100).
The problem was that during I/O cache initialization (this happens
before each bulk insert) allocated I/O buffer was unnecessarily
initialized to '\0'.
This was happening because of mess in flag values. MyISAM informs I/O
cache to wait for free space (if out of disk space) by passing
MY_WAIT_IF_FULL flag. Since MY_WAIT_IF_FULL and MY_ZEROFILL have the
same values, memory allocator was initializing memory to '\0'.
The performance gain provided with this patch may only be visible with
non-debug binaries, since safemalloc always initializes allocated memory
to 0xA5A5...
- Define and pass compile time path variables as pre-processor definitions to
mimic the makefile build.
- Set new CMake version and policy requirements explicitly.
- Changed DATADIR to MYSQL_DATADIR to avoid conflicting definition in
Platform SDK header ObjIdl.h which also defines DATADIR.
This patch is a follow up to http://lists.mysql.com/commits/76678.
When an allocation failure occurs for the buffer in the dynamic
array, an error condition was being set. The dynamic array is
usable even if the memory allocation fails. Since in most cases
the thread can continue to work without any problems the error
condition should not be set here.
This patch adds logic to remove the error condition from being set
when the memory allocation for the buffer in dynamic array fails.
Because of a regression introduced by bug#19027 the option --enable-foobar
doesn't work anymore for any plugin 'foobar'. The reason is that plugin
names are tristate options variables with optional parameters and integer
values are not accepted. Since the 'enable' prefix attempts to assign '1'
to the option the operation fails.
This patch translates any number n assigned to a plugin variable of type ENUM
to be the corresponding enumerated item. As a side effect --enable-foobar and
--disable-foobar will also start working again.
The merge from http://lists.mysql.com/commits/76678 caused the
growth_size parameter to the my_init_dynamic_array function to
be ignored. This patch corrects the problem.
Failure to allocate memory for the hash->array element,
caused hash_init to return without initializing the other
members of the hash. Thus although the dynamic array
buffer may be allocated at a later point in the code, the
incompletely initialized hash caused fatal failures.
This patch moves the initialization of the other members
of the hash above the array allocation, so that the usage
of this hash will not result in fatal failures.
It is not possible to prevent the server from starting if a mandatory
built-in plugin fails to start. This can in some cases lead to data
corruption when the old table name space suddenly is used by a different
storage engine.
A boolean command line option in the form of --foobar is automatically
created for every existing plugin "foobar". By changing this command line
option from a boolean to a tristate { OFF, ON, FORCE } it is possible to
specify the plugin loading policy for each plugin.
The behavior is specified as follows:
OFF = Disable the plugin and start the server
ON = Enable the plugin and start the server even if an error occurrs
during plugin initialization.
FORCE = Enable the plugin but don't start the server if an error occurrs
during plugin initialization.
key_buffer_size.
The cause of corruption was number overflow when multiplying
two ulong values, number of used keycache blocks with size
of a single block. The result of multiplication exceeded ulong
range (4G) and this lead to incorrectly calculated buffer offset
in the key cache.
The fix is to use size_t for multiplication result.
This patch also fixes pointless cast in safemalloc
(size of allocated block to uint), that creates lot of false
alarm warnings when using big keycache (> 4GB) in debug mode.
In order to define the --slave-load-tmpdir, the init_relay_log_file()
was calling fn_format(MY_PACK_FILENAME) which internally was indirectly
calling strmov_overlapp() (through pack_dirname) and the following
warning message was being printed out while running in Valgrind:
"source and destination overlap in strcpy".
We fixed the issue by removing the flag MY_PACK_FILENAME as it was not
necessary. In a nutshell, with this flag the function fn_format() tried
to replace a directory by either "~", "." or "..". However, we wanted
exactly to remove such strings.
In this patch, we also refactored the functions init_relay_log_file()
and check_temp_dir(). The former was refactored to call the fn_format()
with the flag MY_SAFE_PATH along with the MY_RETURN_REAL_PATH, in order
to avoid issues with long directories and return an absolute path,
respectively. The flag MY_SAFE_UNPACK_FILENAME was removed too as it was
responsible for removing "~", "." or ".." only from the file parameter
and we wanted to remove such strings from the directory parameter in
the fn_format(). This result is stored in an rli variable, which is then
processed by the other function in order to verify if the directory exists
and if we are able to create files in it.
Bug#44091: libmysqld gets stuck waiting on mutex on initialization
The problem was that libmysqld wasn't enforcing a certain
initialization and deinitialization order for the mysys
library. Another problem was that the global object used
for management of log event handlers (aka LOGGER) wasn't
being prepared for a possible reutilization.
What leads to the hang/crash reported is that a failure
to load the language file triggers a double call of the
cleanup functions, causing an already destroyed mutex to
be used.
The solution is enforce a order on the initialization and
deinitialization of the mysys library within the libmysqld
library and to ensure that the global LOGGER object reset
it's internal state during cleanup.
If a sys-var has a base and a block-size>1, and then a
user-supplied value >= minimum ended up below minimum
thanks to block-size alignment, we threw a warning.
This meant for instance that when getting, then setting
the minimum, we'd see a warning. This was needlessly
confusing. (updated patch)
patch enclosed)
One call to my_error_unregister_all() would free pointers, but leave one
pointer to just-freed memory still assigned. That's the bug. Subsequent
calls of this function would try to follow pointers into deallocated,
garbage memory and almost certainly SEGV.
Now, after freeing a linked list, unset the initial pointer.
Took the Xfree implementation (based on the same rewrite as the NDB one)
and added it instead of the current implementation.
Added a macro to make the calls to MD5 more streamlined.
